The question that had come so close to fading into irrelevance is back: Will I ever see a woman elected president?
As Senator Elizabeth Warren became the fifth woman to exit the 2020 presidential race, women are coming to terms with the fact that, for the 244th straight year, the person America chooses to lead it in November will be a man.
For Democrats, the future is fraught as the race builds towards a showdown between former vice president Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders, which will then give way to a messy battle between the eventual nominee and President Donald Trump. But for some women, there’s a sense that attention must be paid to this reality: Baby girls born in the next four years will come into a country that is, in this single but significant way, identical to the one that existed in 1776.

After 45 male leaders, maintaining the pretense that gender has little to do with a candidate’s chances just seems cruel. Until the final hours of the 2016 election, a woman president seemed like an inevitability. Now it feels almost impossible.
But even among people who recognize the enduring sexism women candidates face and will continue to face, there is impatience at the idea that Warren, or other women candidates, lose because of gender.

Yes, and just wait till all the sexist epithets start flying.
It’s never about the group/identity; it’s about the philosophy - marxism.
This is just fantasy.
'Ol Joe's running mate will either make or break him.
There are certain ones of those women candidates that if they had been actually elected, the possibility of another woman being elected might have slipped away forever.

That pic was part of one of THE funniest photo montages I’d ever seen.
And they’re still out there somewhere... maybe we can do an age progression thingey for 2020... or better yet, have them reassemble for another cry-in...
And the oriental kid looks like he’s thinking “WTF am I doing HERE, with the Losing Team?”
