11. Agreed, but there's some history to consider

In 1984, I voted for Geraldine Ferraro for Vice President along with Walter Mondale. They lost.

In 2016, I voted for Hilary Clinton. She lost.

In 2024, I voted for Kamala Harris. She lost.

All three were excellent candidates but America doesn’t seem to want a woman chief executive, even if she has been VP!

Sorry for the history but it illustrates a bigger misogynistic problem in the U.S.

I yearn for the day when we have a president who doesn’t have a phallic obsession.
