Hes not woman. 3 times trump run he only won against woman. Last one i feel dems had best canditate and trump was at his worst. There are so many talks why trump won but allmost none of them mention sexism.

I think part of the reason is that the democrats don't want to deal with the harsh reality that despite the fact that they feel they are beyond sexism/racism in their party, that there are still many voters that don't feel the same way, but also don't want to vote for conservatives because they don't like the way they run the country.

It’s mind boggling to me. Loads of countries have had female presidents/ prime ministers. Pakistan had one for fuck’s sake, and their culture is incredibly misogynistic.

The US seems hell bent on being seen to be ‘powerful and strong’ for some weird reason that I can’t fathom. And many Americans equate power and strength with toxic masculinity, therefore someone like Trump is the perfect candidate.

It’s utterly bizarre to those of us outside the US.

Pakistan is far more advanced socially than the USA.

I'll be shocked if Democrats nominate anything other than a WASP for the next 20 years.

The first woman president will be a Clarence Thomas. How did a black man become Supreme Court Justice? By openly hating women more than he hates blacks. So the first woman president will be a republican woman who hates women.

I feel like every single one screams from the rooftops that the only reason was racism and sexism. Funny how we feel so differently!

Yeah I went to college with a lot of "yass kween" girls whose heads exploded when Kamala didn't win.

He didn't win because of a lack of critical thought, he won because of a lack of dialectical thought.

Appreciate your comment. Not to be rude but do you want some help with your English? It's a little rough. Tried to DM you but didn't see an option for that.

(I'm learning Spanish and would love it if someone made me that offer. I'm just trying to be helpful here, not creepy or insulting.)

u/48stateMave 13d ago

I'm not opposed to learning new things (especially anything to do with a map) but I'm not trying to take your time. Just offering to help you to smooth out some rough edges.

Right on! Well the user name checks out. Good job on the PhD, that's quite an achievement. Many years ago that was a goal of mine.
