The Hot New Thing In The Democratic Party: White Men

Looks like Mayor Pete is out. He is a racist.

 

There is some warming happening, but nothing beyond natural variability, and certainly nothing approaching a global catastrophe. If indeed CO2 emissions are driving global warming we should adapt to it as it happens. There is no way we can stop global CO2 emissions. We can't even stop them from increasing, at least not for many many years. There is no point spending trillions of dollars and sacrificing our economies just to slow CO2 emissions somewhat. That will make absolutely no difference to the climate.

 

We all value peace, but we value a lot of other things as well, things that have taken centuries of struggle to achieve. We have to be willing to fight to preserve the things we value. We don't send our women out to do the fighting. They have other important roles to play. There is a reason why women have never been used as cannon fodder.

 

I and most scientists disagree. But if we keep waiting, you'll be right.

 

The vast majority of us--male & female alike--are willing to "fight to preserve the things we value." But, generally speaking, more women leaders could mean we have fewer times when fighting will be necessary.

 

And yet it is a very accurate assessment of the situation. Barack Obama was unqualified to serve as president of the united states. Had he been a white individual and run on the same weak message of hope and change, he would have lost the election. The only reason he was elected was due to his race. Even the international community understood such as being the case.

 

For such to actually be a possibility, it would first be necessary to eliminate certain cultures in the world where females are viewed as being no different than property. Cultures where women can be put to death for being raped, and subjected to violent, forced mutilation to discourage promiscuity. Cultures where male family members will murder female family members for bringing dishonor to their family.

Until such time that such culture are removed from the equation entirely, electing female leaders in the civilized world will make no difference overall.

 

The only way we could ever find out if that is true or not would be if China, Russia, Iran, NK, the Taliban, and all the other Islamic extremist groups were to make women their leaders. That is not going to happen.

 

I disagree. Obama had many positive qualities I sorely miss with Trump in the Oval Office today.

 

I disagree. The more female leaders we elect in the free world, the more those regressive countries will be forced to work with & recognize the abilities of women as leaders. By just working with them as equals will help pressure them for changes in their home societies. Not having female leaders here simply supports the status quo, which even by your post, comes across as something vile & unacceptable.

 

If we wait for the least progressive nations to change first, then women world wide will continue to be repressed forever. We are responsible for being the first to change.

 

I'm just waiting for some White beta male leftist to stamp his little feet and then shriek, "We haven't been demonizing White males!"

 

We did elect a woman to the presidency. Her name was Barack Obama. Just ask her husband, Michelle.

 

But apparently huge numbers of them really do think that gender and race are the determining factors regarding the concept of 'best'. Their ideology is soooooooooooooooooooooo screwed up.

 

My observations have been over the past forty years, as more women were represented in Congress the less Congress was productive.

Look at the current Congress and not one accomplishment.

It seems when they outlawed smoking in the Capitol building brought an end of deals being made behind closed doors in smoked filled rooms and a bottle of Scotch.

The last decent Speaker of the House was Tip O'Neill and I never liked the guy but things got accomplished in the House.

 

Oh please the man is an international business man. You want to talk unqualified to have been president? That would be Barack Obama; a first term U.S. senator with zero meaningful national level experience or leadership or management experience. He was absolute rot as a president.

 

Bull crap. Obama sucked as a Constitutional Law professor and his class often failed to make because students soon learned that all he taught was race based issues.

 

I agree with your stated desire to "get things done" in Congress. I also remember times when Congress DID get things done by working across the aisle. That went away gradually over the past couple of decades, and especially after the Tea Party movement of 2010. Those extremists made the word "compromise" a dirty word, and compromise is the key to success in a democracy. I don't believe there were enough women to lead or even block this movement toward more & more polarization in Congress & America. To blame them seems to me, misguided.

 

Obama hated the United States and he race agitated for eight years.

 

Obama knew the Constitution like an expert, and had experience as a U.S. Senator before becoming President. Trump had NO political experience & continues being a total idiot regarding the Constitution or how government functions altogether.

 

Trump had international level experience working with governments and other top level business people to get things done and plus he had leadership and management experience whereas Barack was rectally inserted into the U.S. Senate via scum-bucket level Chicago politics and then he picked his nose until SELECTED to run for the presidency.

You are not going to win at this because leftists REFUSED to do any real vetting of Barack Obama whereas Right of Center posters actually did do the research.

 

We don't repress women.

 

Simply because the point is disagreed with, does not mean the point is factually incorrect. So long as those such as Kim Jong Un and other dictators remain in place and in power, female leaders in the free world will make no difference, and lead to no reduction in the need to go to war. It is nothing more than wishful thinking at best.

 

While it is true we're doing better than at any time in our history, we still repress women. Women still generally make about 30% less in wages for the same jobs also held by men, nationally. Women are still not given equal opportunities for managerial advancement as men. Even in the Democratic party right now, the female candidates are given far less media coverage than the male candidates on a daily basis. Gender prejudice has improved over the last couple of decades, but it's still there. Look at a group photo of the Republican members of our U.S. Senate today, and check out how few women are there. That's a form of gender bias right there.

 

Since I disagree, how do you see the problem being resolved for women to be more equally accepted as national & international leaders?
