Are you fucking kidding? No. No no no.
She’s fine. I voted for her. I think she’d have been a competent enough president. But what in the world is so special about her that we should fucking run her again after she proved she’s a loser against a guy who was a terrible candidate and wasn’t even really trying to campaign? Is she some once in a lifetime genius that the payoff would be so good that we have to risk everything to force her into the presidency? No. No one cares about her that much, no one is that enthusiastic for her, and there’s no reason to suspect she’s some amazing statesman that would make it all worthwhile.
I can’t believe you guys aren’t getting this. Would it be great if the country was ready for a woman president? Absolutely. All else being equal, it’s always nice to see people who traditionally were kept out of the traditional power structure being able to overcome that. But delaying representation a decade or two in one office is not a fucking existential threat to the existence of our democracy. But what happened as a result of trying to force that to happen is.
We got Trump TWICE when a generic white guy would’ve beat him both times. Do you guys seriously not see that? It is absolutely shitty that Americans aren’t ready for a woman president. They should be. But are you going to choose facism AGAIN to try to force the ignorant American public to take their medicine? And when your plan fails, you’re going to set back human rights for minority groups again rather than drive them ahead.
Even if you’re a disadvantaged minority like women, people of color, LGBTQ – what would you like more, a chance at someone non-traditional winning the presidency or the possibility the likely result will be someone elected who will enthusiastically crush you under his boot? What do you think would’ve advanced the cause of tolerance and equality – generic white guy democrat or a high chance of a Trump victory?
You guys basically lost our country to fascism for at least a couple of decades and you want to double down and keep making the same mistake. It’s hard to fucking believe it. Stop this. This is not the time for a “wouldn’t it be nice…” while everything is already on fire and if your risky gambit fails we dump a barrel of gasoline on it.
