    Yeah I dont know. I work in a field where I hear a lot of the details of people’s employment stories and if I can tell you one universal thing its that women need to be 5x better than a confident sounding man in order to be taken half as seriously.

    never underestimate how much the world dislikes a woman who knows more than anything than they do

      I know this well, as someone in the corporate world I have been witness to just how bad it is, and faced consequences for trying to advocate for fairness.

      I am saying, well aware of what a mistake it is to field a female candidate in present America, that the GOP may make the same mistake, but predictability in elections has been abandoned, and it might actually work. I don’t think the chances of this are too far off.

      Rightoids: “Well she’s even more MAGA than MAGA, I 'member her talking 'bout dem jews, she may be a chick but she got my vote.”

      Lefties: “She has made amends and abandoned trumpism, and we NEED a woman in charge!”

      Liberals: “If I vote for a woman who basically been on both sides, does that make this the ULTRA liberal choice? Right up the middle? If it means preserving status quo I’m in!”

      Everyone Else: “LAWL LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS”
