| | | What you're saying is not only factually wrong, it's dangerously defeatist and reinforces exactly the kind of discrimination you're claiming to oppose.
To suggest that “no men of colour or women should ever try to be POTUS again” is absurd and insulting, not just to those individuals, but to the millions of Americans who have voted for diverse candidates and who do want a leader based on merit, vision, and integrity, not race or gender.
Barack Obama was elected twice by broad coalitions across demographics. Kamala Harris, whatever one thinks of her politics, was elected Vice President on a winning ticket. These aren’t flukes, they’re proof of progress.
Reducing the future of American democracy to skin colour and gender gives bigotry more power, not less. It hands victory to the very forces you're condemning. The fight for equality isn’t won by withdrawing from it.
Maybe it’s time for you to stop blaming voters entirely and start focusing on the strength of the candidate, their ideas, their leadership, and their ability to inspire confidence. That’s what wins elections. |
