Kamala Harris didn't lose because she was female, she just was a poor candidate, as Democratic primary voters worked out fairly quickly in 2019/20.
I thought Buttigieg would have been really good as Transport Secretary but he didn't really shine unfortunately.
Pretty clear that the Democrats in Washington were well aware of Biden's condition long before the debate and yet made no moves to get Harris or for that matter Buttigieg in as candidate, which says a lot. Previous Message
It’s a real shame that in 21st century that’s still unpalatable for so many Americans. Just as the prospect of a female president is.

That’s the entire reason why Mike Bloomberg, who would have been one of the most palatable candidates in recent decades, never put himself up. His very extensive research boiled down the reasons why he would never get elected to those base facts. Previous Message
Jon Stewart.
A strong personality who has a very large following.
Even though not a politician (neither was Trump).
A very articulate, very entertaining character who could debate democratic issues with anyone. Previous Message
can't think of a good choice since Clinton. I DON'T mean Hilary. I include both parties in that opinion. Previous Message
I've been blocking this out since I found his Presidency all-consuming last time, and I'm determined not to let that happen this time for the sake of my sanity.
However, I just feel the need to say that I simply cannot believe that America voted him back in again. How f'ing stupid are these people?
I partly blame the Dems for not realising that a compliant media would emphasise Biden's failing cognisance whilst ignoring Trumps and accepting that a change was needed at a much earlier stage to allow consideration of more candidates. Maybe Harris still might have come through, but I somehow doubt it. They need to spend a period of analysis to determine their best and most electable candidate for 2028 and work to establish them in the public conscience.
I'm convinced the MAGA idiots are about to enter a period of FAFO, but it's little consolation.
Rant over.
