(2,522 posts)before I die, and who was an early and wildly enthusiastic supporter of Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.
But, sadly, I do not think we should nominate a woman as our candidate in 2028. We need to win by a margin large enough to offset the cheating and vote suppression that the Republicans will undoubtedly commit before the election. We need independents and Republicans who are done with Trump, and I don't think many of those folks are evolved enough to vote for a Democrat woman to be president.
Therefore, I think we need an intelligent, patriotic, kind-hearted, humane former-military, badass white guy,preferably with a Southern accent so that he doesn't come off as one of the "elites" that non-Democrats detest. To top it off, he must be entertaining! We can't have a presidential candidate that bores the pants off people, no matter how qualified he is. Extra points for being a well-liked celebrity.
We probably won't find someone who ticks all these boxes, but the more, the better.
Then, once the country heals, then we can and we MUST elect a Democratic woman president. Just as soon as we have some kind of assurance that the dumb asses of America will vote for her.
