If you ask me, I’m upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can’t get over race and gender.

    If you care about his gender and race, YOU are part of the problem.

      Most people care, and in a democratic election is about what most people care, not what an individual cares.

        I have no idea anymore. Politics is a cult of personality now. And one’s gender and sexual identity has apparently become part of that.

        It’d be really cool if it were about the politics again.

          That’s what I’m saying. Can we stop focusing on people’s appearance and instead pay more attention to what they have to say and their ideas?

          Man, and I thought the Olympic boxer drama was disappointing. People really just want to tear each other down for no good reason.
