    A 2-woman ticket would never work. It’s going to be very dicey having a woman leading the ticket with a man as VP, given how sexist the US electorate is.

      What’s sexist is going on and on about how a woman is unelectable.

        Yes, reality is sexist. But, you can’t just live in a fantasy land.

          A friend of mine was running a restaurant, and before a major business meeting, her 2nd said that he should do all the talking because the other party was sexist and wouldn’t listen to a woman.

          She fired his ass, rightfully. That is not what progress looks like. Step up and fight against sexism, don’t concede to that shit.

            A complex vote involving an electoral college and an opposing candidate who is an open fascist isn’t quite the same situation as running a restaurant.

              You’re right. Women deal with sexism in many facets of life. You are the example, not the exception.

                    Pointing out that the electorate is sexist is sexist. Gotcha.
