In reply to the discussion: Can our country ever elect a woman POTUS? [View all]NNadir
(37,163 posts)46. We used to wonder if we could ever elect a black President. As for a woman, we can and we will. I may not live to...
...see it, and "we" - those who come after me - may be living under a new Constitution as the Supremes have destroyed the current one, but a woman will lead this country.
We've been burned twice by the worst example of a male white human being, and if the country rises out of its ashes like a Phoenix, it may very well do so with a woman in charge.
As to which woman, I have no immediate preference.
It is a tragedy that we are not all now complaining about President Harris, a very real tragedy, and since the result is so horrible, the reaction will surely be powerful.
