OK, 1920 ... women didn’t have the right to vote in national elections until 1920.

VP Candidate Moron needs to check out some of the more “enlightened” countries vs. the so called mongrels here in the USA :

Austria - 1919
Canada - 1917-1919 (for most of the country)
Denmark - 1915
France - 1944
Germany - 1918
Italy - 1925 (partial) - 1945 (full)
Japan - 1947
Switzerland - 1971
U.K. - 1918

Let’s look at some of those locales the esteemed Dem. VP candidate seems to worship.

Afghanistan - 1963
Iran - 1963
Iraq - 1980
Jordan - 1974
Pakistan - 1947
Saudi Arabia - 2015 (limited to municipal elections)
Syria - 1949
Turkey - 1934

Bottom line, the Blame America First VP candidate should be asking himself why a majority of the western world didn’t allow women to vote until the early 20th century ... he then should ask why the Middle East lagged a few decades.

Just to clarify, he was angry that we didn’t allow women to vote for 140+ years ... seems it was a worldwide view not restricted to the USA.

I wonder how many Democrat legislators are closet Muslims.
