I'll skip the pessimistic view of "the US isn't ready for a female POTUS" as that is the standard copout to hide misogyny, bigotry, insecurity & systemic ignorance / stereotypes. "A woman's role is in the kitchen... blah blah blah..."
I do NOT think that VP Harris would win- not with the craterous divide that now defines this nation. That chasm btw was CREATED by the Doug Jones (preacher haha) that guides DoD Kegbreth, along with the christo fascists Kevin Roberts- Heritage Foundation, Leonard Leo- Fed Society and others who are ultra-conservative Roman Catholic fanatics.
AOC, sadly, showed that she's not really ready for ~prime time. Her gaffs at the Davos conference derailed presumptions of her knowledge on a multitude of topics. (we're now witnesses to apparently similar blips from Gov Newsom- sheez!)
The critical questions that needs to be asked / answered - BEFORE we talk about who the candidates should be-
What caused ~90 MILLION voters to be disenfranchised in 2024? How did the Dem Party miss this? Who was in leadership roles then & where are those 'leaders' / decision-makers now? (Hint- two are the heads of Lower & Upper Houses of Congress)
We answer those 2 questions with REAL answers & then we can focus on the best candidates, regardless of race, gender, age, experience. ..
I believe the Dems do well to look at Mamdani's popularity. What strikes me about him is his unwavering championing of human rights and service to constituents. I have yet to see this from any establishment Dem - including Kamala. I am hoping for a champion of human rights and protector of the planet, rather than a candidate relying on focus groups, corporate wishes, AIPAC and other 'special interests'. I wanted to LOVE Harris - but she was unable to extract herself from all of the above and differentiate herself from Biden (who enabled a genocide) which tells me it doesn't make sense to promote her as President a second time around.
I disagree. It is time. The future is female. Two strong, capable, well-qualified women had the presidency stolen from them by the criminal mob boss, Donald J. Trump. Get rid of him, and the whole picture changes.
Trump is a malignant narcissist and is an exception. There is no doubt in my mind that Thatcher had great fortitude. Unfortunately, her neoliberal policies led to greater inequality and increased political polarization. Through Reagan, this neoliberal policy spread into US politics and has resulted in a wide gap between the very rich and the middle class.
IMPORTANT! A petition to preserve news snd independent journalism is in this site by COMMON CAUSE. The purpose of the petition is to stop the merger of public media as requested by the person who wants to control everything and who ignores our Constitution to a great extent and will be speaking soon.
I hope a lot of people will see, sign, and share this petition. We must preserve independent journalism and our right to truthful news.
Anyone not wanting to tap or open this site might find the petition by searching for COMMON CAUSE. I understand hesitancy to tap on a site. This one is through
actionnetwork.org, and they sent many petitions within an email with opportunities to sign as well as to write letter letters to Congress.
That she simply disappeared after the election broke my faith in her.
Where is she now?
How is she leading the Resistance?
I feel betrayed

Although, I had voted for her, am conflicted about voting for a women as President in America. 😥 sadly
We wouldn't be in this mess , vote this administration out of power in the mid-terms.
Don't let trump rig/cheat.
I disagree. I do not believe that is the antidote to MAGA.
America is not ready for all-women leadership
I disagree. It is time. The future is female. Two strong, capable, well-qualified women had the presidency stolen from them by the criminal mob boss, Donald J. Trump. Get rid of him, and the whole picture changes.
America is joly well ready to show the world women leadership !
I do not think KH has the fortitude to stand up to Foreign leaders
Stand up to...? You mean- intimidate? threaten? the SOP for how all (male) presidents have?
How has that worked out?
Maggie Thatcher- did she have the fortitude?
trump is the current 'standard' for showing strength. By - murdering US citizens as well as 115 innocent people in intl waters.
He has knelt to Putin while attacking (verbally, for now) our allies- from Canada to Switzerland to Ukraine.
Is THAT fortitude?
Trump is a malignant narcissist and is an exception. There is no doubt in my mind that Thatcher had great fortitude.

Sorry, Kamala Harris is not suitable presidential material.
No to Harris lost all respect (from California didn’t have much to start) after she came out after election and badmouth everyone.
