31. Same here, and I also agree that Michelle's right.

I voted for Hiilary, i voted for Kamala, and I'd vote for a woman again in 2028, but that doesn't mean running a woman candidate on the Dem ticket would be a winning strategy. I doubt there's anyone who wants to see a woman potus more than I do, but Michelle is dead right: this dumb country just isn't ready to vote a woman in. I hate that like hell, but it is what it is. It sucks, but trying to pretend it's not true isn't going to get us anywhere.
