General Discussion

into a common trap.

She held hands with a Repubican? Her opponent raped a woman.

She "threw her sister under the bus"? (I don't remember that, but whatever.) Her opponent stole top secret documents and then lied about it and refused to give them back.

She wasn't enough like AOC? Her opponent tried to overthrow the government . (BTW, I disagree with the idea that a national candidate should be like AOC. And I'm someone who will vote for her in a heartbeat if she goes for the Senate seat.)

There is, I hope you see, no comparison between what the two candidates did, and yet Cankles won easily.

A good chunk of people, enough to swing the election, refused to vote for her because she was a woman. Rather than voting for a woman, they voted for a raping, treasonous traitor. Then, when they had elected him, they watched as women's rights were stripped and the discourse around women became something out of some sadistic medieval witch hunt.

Michelle is absolutely right. We are not ready.
