Who cares if Gabbard isn’t in the debates? She is polling near zero.
We opened Pandora’s political box with the 19th Amendment. No republic that wishes to stay a republic should give women the vote. Women will ultimately rule. Women in the aggregate have different priorities from men. The majority seek protection for themselves and their children even if they don’t consciously understand their own motives. And, it is not being “funny” to say that women want to enforce everyone being nice. They desire no conflict, no one insulting each other, etc. That way lies only central control of everything. My wife finally convinced me of that ten years ago. That doesn’t mean women should not be able to run for and hold elective office. Those that might get elected will have the operative sensibilities to maintain the republic.
