I'm
just going to throw something out there, and I'll probably get flack for it,
but whatever. I'm fine with any of the
Democratic candidates still up there, and whatever reason you have for voting
for any of them. But if you vote for
anyone other than Warren, please do us all a favor and don't complain that the
president is always an old white guy and it's never a woman. I know several people who have been making
this complaint who are now saying they're voting for Sanders or Biden.
And
I get it. I do. I don't recommend voting for a woman just
because she's a woman. That's not only a
bad idea, it's even patronizing to women.
Hell, I wouldn't vote for Sarah Palin just because she's a woman.
But
whatever reason you have for voting for someone else, understand that THAT is
the reason we haven't had a female president.
It's not some conspiracy brought on by us men. It's not all because we're a backwards
culture. Some of it is other nuances,
including the reasons you're giving for voting for someone else!
So
to be clear, if you don't vote for Warren today, I get it. I don't think you're a sexist or don't want
women in power. I'm sure you have some
other reason, and it's probably a good one, to go for someone else.
But
if you do, please do us all a favor, and next time you want to complain that
there haven't been any female presidents; go to a mirror and ask yourself that
question and don't bother the rest of us, because you'll be staring at part of
the reason.
