and yet for 200+ years 50% of the population has been sidelined from the seat simply because of their sex.

We have moved beyond as a country that one sex should be sidelined for any position. And all candidates should be on equal footing where their ideas and convinctions can be looked upon in that backdrop.

Do you know when the first woman candidate for President was? It was a while back.

I don’t think anyone should be sidelined, I just do not think there is a set aside and a quota

No, the women who have run and lost were not elected because people didnt want them as President. No one is sidelining anybody. Should Carol Mosely Braun have been elected? What about Hillary? Why would you support sidelining them, if after all, we have moved beyond that?
