Trump opened the floodgates. Now Democratic women are running for office in record-breaking numbers

Motive for the act is the key. Has nothing to do with race unless you want to see it like that. Especially with something like this.

No it is not... that is a reasoning that certain aspects of the political sphere are using.. in reality, what happened in Texas is terror. What happened in Sandy Hook.. is terror. Their motives are in many ways irrelevant, since no sane person would do what they did. Sure they/you/others can claim it is religious, political or whatever... the fact is, that their acts caused terror in their fellow citizens and mass death.

I would agree.. with one exception.. if the opponent is openly sexist, then all bets are off.. only way I would not vote for the women then, is if she was a neo nazi or communist. I can not stand sexists attitudes in men. Women can almost do everything a man can do and often better. That is why, if I had to choose between Trump and Clinton... Clinton hands down alone based on Trumps sexist attitude.

That's fine, but you would have voted for anyone other than Trump regardless of gender then.

Not getting ruled by old white guys... that is their platform.

Wait, so they want to go back in time x amount of years, and then have a run opposed to a system that we no longer use???

Well that would be a waste.

Cool, now if only they could peg down in their little minds what the alt-right really is, and or stands for.

Don't need any of that stuff. Just less Trump, that's all.
How do you think Obama got elected?

Pandering to his race, not to mention the promise of change....(looks around)

Yep, I didn't see much change. Unless you count nearly, completely destroying race relations.

If they are pushing the same wacky policies that have been push the last 8 years
they are going to get the same results. #LOSINGMORESEATS

Ask Hillary how that women thing worked out.

A person should not be judged on their sex.

Hey!!!

It is not right to judge anyone for their sex, weight, age, orientation, or beliefs... unless they are conservative, then **** them.

Yes it is. I'm not using any political reasoning when I say that. You don't know my reasoning. To me, there is a clear difference between someone who does this for their 'cause' from someone who has mental issues. Personally, I don't think the guy did it because of mental issues....I think he was an evil person filled with hate towards people (some that he knew) and blamed everyone but himself for his lot in life. His past is taken into account for that reasoning.

I assume it's "I have a vagina!"

They better be careful though, if they get too successful in the Democratic ranks suddenly their will be a rash of Democrat men coming out as transgender.

Strange, seeing as Hillary's was "I wear the penis now bitches"

Which they do now.. in fact, they ignore most of the country and only focus on strategic states and only specific areas within those states. Hence they system is massively broken, even in relation to the original flawed ideal. Look at it this way.. how often does a US presidential candidate go to places like Hawaii, Alaska, North Dakota and so on? Almost never.. but he slums around Ohio and Florida all the time. Hell they only go to the 2 biggest states in the union to beg for money, but hold actual campaign stops.. naw, waste of time as we both know that California will go Dems and Texas will go GOP. The system is utterly flawed.

Which is why Clinton lost. She ignored Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The system worked exactly like it was supposed to.

PeteEU said:
That is fair enough. What I am talking about is electing a President. Think about it... Senate.. one man one vote.. House.. one man one vote... President, naw we know better so lets make a crazy system that is unfair on cities and promotes rural unpopulated areas.. but only specific ones.

We do not have a national presidential vote. We have 50 presidential votes. National vote totals mean the same as hits in baseball: squat.

All candidates know the rules going into the race.

You should go look up what democracy means.. and what representative democracy means. They do mean one man one vote.
Click to expand...

No they don't. Representative democracy means we elect someone to represent us, but its on them to make up their own mind on what to vote for.

Yes, a flaw.

Yep, does not mean the rules are not flawed. All Iranian candidates know the rules when going into their elections.. does not mean they are democratic or fair...

No they don't. Representative democracy means we elect someone to represent us, but its on them to make up their own mind on what to vote for.

Yes, you got part of that right. However what you forget, is that in a real representative democracy, those people who represent us, are voted in by majority vote...
