    What kind of special insight does a former first lady have to the American electorate?

          It is very, very much on-brand for establishment democrats to ignore the multitude of well-respected, socialist or left-leaning politicians across our country, as well as the mandate that shows just how much people want inspiring leaders who want to help people, and go all-in on Hariss/Newsom 2028.

          I’d stay out of public spaces if that happens tbvh… everyone jokes about the byproducts of unkempt male rage, yet it has defined all of human existence. Susan Faludi has an awesome book on the subject called “Stiffed” that peels back the curtain on what happens to boys who aren’t loved.

            We have simultaneously underestimated the massive force that is male sexual insecurity and how it fuels movements, and also way overplayed the minority of foul shits who scream their hate into the void.

            If a woman is elected president, there will be no end to raging lunatics online but there’s not going to be any more or less real-world violence as a result. People generally fall in line with whatever tone our current “leader” sets.

              Couldn’t agree more! They have mommy issues and would probably settle in well after an adjustment period
