The ONLY way MAGAts will turn is believing another white guy, they freaked the f out when Obama was President, before that, most didn't even vote, so there was absolutely no way they were going to let a brown woman win. A strong, white, straight, charismatic man must emerge, we have to find him.

I really hate that this is the only way, but it is, and now that we know it's because they're (most of the 77 mill who voted for him) racists, we have to bring forward a candidate that can appeal to them, once we regain all 3 branches, laws can be written & enforced so this never happens again.

In other words, they are arguments which play RIGHT into the racist, cis-gendered, white male superiority dialogue!

Yup. America as a whole, is a deeply racist and sexist country. Lot's of exceptions but many more fit the mold.

Then the objective should be to change "the way it is" and run the best candidate, regardless of race or gender! The arguments being made here are simply systemic racism (and that is obvious!) and patriarchy continued...

If we want to win, it's the only way. I am not naive enough to think we can win any other way, do I think we should have a woman and/or or poc run our Country, 100%, Kamala s/b in the Whitehouse right now, but because there are still millions that say they aren't racists, they still vote that way.

Just like "trickle down economics", 'trickle down morality' doesn't work either! The US's racist problem needs to be fixed (by WHITE people, they created it) at its core, which means from the bottom up. And Black folks been telling you that for DECADES!!!

K. Harris specifically stated that she would not be doing anything specific for Black people; she understood the depth of racist depravity which exist in the US. The very suggestion that the ONLY option is to replace the racist, KKK imbecile in the WH by, yet another, white male is racist in itself!

Gotta win 270-271 Elec. College votes in 2028. Who else but a famous white, male, politician can do that? Just gotta elect one who will DO THE RIGHT THINGS to address systemic racism & the wealth gap!

Most definitely! They have to have a strong record of fighting for EVERYONE, there can be no wishy washy deeds done in their past. They have to promise to appoint the most qualified people, no matter their race or gender, Biden did good keeping those promises, if he just didn't mentally decline.

White people have had 200+ years to address racism under white male leaders, have you done so? Secondly, the absence of any consideration regarding changing the mindset of persons who 'prefer' white male leadership is noticeably absent from your commentary!

I am Native & raised in Hawaii where there was NO racism. I know exactly what you're saying, but UNFORTUNATELY, we saw what happened when we put up a brown female. I feel like I'm arguing with a MAGAt, do I like that we have to run a white man, HELL NO! If ppl don't get this fact, we'll lose again.

....and whether you like it or not, the fact that you are advocating for ONLY yet another 'white male' is no less racist!

You are daft, look at the stats on who voted, I can't spoon feed you the info. Would I absolutely LOVE to believe someone other than a white male could win in 2028, YES, was Kamala our best choice, 100%, but the evidence is crystal clear, I don't like it, but I can read the numbers!

"You are daft", more ironic ad hominem from the POC who grew up in Hawaii and believes there was no racism there! And that, apparently, because you aren't even aware that you clap for it! 🤷‍♂️ As I wrote, you are ill-prepared for this conversation, woefully, even... Truly done here...

The mere fact that you believe there was "NO racism" in Hawaii lets me know that you are ill-prepared for this conversation. It's interesting that YOU feel you are arguing with a MAGA when it is YOU who sees the installation of yet another 'white male' as the ONLY solution. Go figure! 🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately, you do not realize the degree to which your indoctrination into, and acceptance of, white privilege and patricharcy inform your commentary....to the degree that you believe a 'white male' (certainly cisgender) saviour is the ONLY viable option! BIPOC do not share your views.

I AM a female POC, but I also have seen how white Americans vote, and they are still the majority of voters, POC don't vote as much as whites do, do you really not research?

"...do you really not research?", file under Ad Hominem! 👍

You continue to miss the point regarding your advocating racist views... I'm done here... 🙏

And they are misogynists, too.

We (women) are close to losing all of our rights, I don't understand why there are so many female MAGAts, they aren't reading Project 2025, they think it's propaganda, but it is their playbook and they are voting against our interests.

You'd be surprised at the quantity of ('low intelligence') women who support patriarchy!

Exactly, now you're getting what I'm saying. There were a lot of men who didn't like trump but wouldn't vote for a woman, and their wives followed their lead, so they either voted for the turd or didn't vote at all, that's a big reason why turnout was so low, & they're regretting their decision now!

My last comment has nothing to do with getting what you have been saying. We don't defeat racism and patriarchy by throwing more white patriarchy at the wall simply because we (have been trained to) think there is no other (read: better) option.

...add LGBTQ+phobic to that list...

because too many assholes won't vote for anyone else, especially now.

Then address the ass-holes; but don't support racist, white patriarchy!

I do not support racist misogynist assholes. Trump has let them out into the kitchen, emboldening the roaches to come out into the light. They are the reason he won. We can not ignore that. I'd rather crush them underfoot.

Yes. Sadly, the only way to win in 'Murica now. Anything that is necessary to win back control, and THEN address the racism and sexism when we are back on Earth One.

You have a valid if not uncomfortable point. It's the reason why Biden was able to beat Trump in 20. We need someone who won't incite an uprising when Trump is removed even though we know his election was rigged. Someone like Adam Kinzinger (I think I spelled that right)

I cringe when my husband says the same thing. It's so soul-crushing. He thinks we have to borrow their privilege. Given two insanely qualified, highly capable women w/no felonies have lost to a felonious, KKK rapist, who openly lies, cheats and steals...maybe. PS. T-bag didn't flip those states.

I'm more of the 'dismantle their privilege' school!

My GF and I like to joke about how the only way Trump could "win" is against a woman for presidency. The country struggles to give women equal pay or even respect, I don't expect to see one in that seat until most current politicians have passed away.

Unfortunately, the only expertise & validity that might have a chance of acceptance from more than half of the GOP base could only come from a "white guy". (Considering that they believe that's what God, & His [middle eastern Jewish backdrop] Son are.😖) I'm NOT saying it's right or "christian"😣

Who else can "win" in the Elec. College rigged system??? And, both Gov. Newsom & Gov. Pritzker are white. Win the election, then start to fix a broken society!

straight white guy. That is sadly the state we're in.

"...straight, white guy" is what got us INTO the state we are in! ;)

That, too.

But it's the same thing. Trump had an edge over Harris because he was a straight white guy.

The deeper question is 'why?'. And the solution lies there, not in applying more of the same...

Sure, you go ahead and work on a cure for racism, and I'll look for candidates who can win next year and in 2026 to save the lives of people who are being killed by Trump.

Yeah, cuz white privilege just allowed you to 'overlook' the thousands of Black people who have been killed under white racism since....forever... Some of you 'suddenly types' make me laugh...!

I didn't say "suddenly" or anything that suggested "suddenly." The people the government is going after now, it's going after because they're black and brown. It's a different subset of all black and brown people, but it's still based on race.

I didn't say or imply that you did say or suggest "suddenly", but, I did! As in; where have all the newfound voices of the "suddenly" White people been while Black people have been protesting racism, discrimination and oppression since...forever...?

I guess you don't look around much at the protests.

The people being targeted now are still being targeted because they're not white.

"Now"?! 🤔 Welcome to the battle! F.Y.I. another "straight, white guy" has never and won't be fixing racism!

Agreed, he won't be fixing racism, but he could be calling off ICE and not sending the National Guard to Black and Brown cities. The place we're starting from in 2025 sets a low bar.
