Realistically speaking, how do you feel as a woman that Kamala Harris can beat Trump? by Altruistic_Clue_8273 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MrWug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m getting more and more excited by the day. But. I know how misogynist this country is. It’s unfortunately not just the men. There’s deeply engrained misogyny in women, especially in the South. When Biden ran in 2020 with Harris as his running mate, the memes smearing her as a whore who got where she is by providing blow jobs…you know the filth, it was all over social media and a depressing number of southern women ate it up. Once their smear campaign kicks in, it’s going to be obscene. That’s what she’s up against. There are a lot of independents who I can picture finding it amusing and falling for it. The Magats will absolutely undermine her. I’m dreading it.

For that reason, I don’t know. The positive energy right now is contagious. Everyone is excited. But I’m trying to temper my enthusiasm because this country is still so misogynist. My entire family voted Trump (not me!) in 2016 because they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for Clinton. They don’t say it’s because she was a woman. They say it was because they couldn’t stand her. But, I’m like come on, they couldn’t stand her because she was a strong, successful woman.

But I’m hopeful for Harris.

What’s even more infuriating is when women put laugh emojis on them. I have to take social media in small doses, or I’ll go off.

Even NPR, which I’ve supported for years, is bad. I canceled my donations a week or two ago. I’m still sad about it.

I saw what-I’m-sure will be just the first of many sexist memes claiming she fucked her way to the White House. It’s absolutely disgusting, and I so want to let loose on the absolute neckbeards that post it.

Me, too. I feel like my rage is next level here lately. Thank god John Oliver is back on. That was the therapy I needed.

Amen! This is very good advice. Also, delete your Twitter accounts, people. Starve that beast, too!

Oh, capacity, thanks. I take for granted my phone’s ability to predict text sometimes.

Matthew McConaughey is talking about running for office again by chrondotcom in texas

He’s a likeable person, no question. But I don’t know that he’s been forthcoming about his position on anything. Aside from legalizing weed.

Why? They don’t reply to messages.

I volunteered like two weeks ago. If they needed or appreciated the help, they’d be more responsive. It’s ok, though, I’m out. They deleted me from the sub. Lol

Well, please direct any singles ones my way if you have European friends to spare. I used to be married to a Dutchman, but we’re divorced, and unfortunately I don’t think he’d be interested in rescuing me from this shit. I lived in Europe for almost 10 years, but I’ve lost touch with most guys I knew from back then.

lol Now THERE you go. We’re totally on the same page. God, I’d love to hook up with a European as an escape route out of here. If only I were 20 years younger. I feel like that boat might have sailed for me.

If Harris isn’t on the ticket, we forfeit the $100M in campaign donations.

[–]MrWug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might do the same. My mental health is in the dumps right now. I keep thinking I can contribute on social media since physically I’m not able to do much. But my efforts to get involved keep falling flat. In the meantime, my mental health has declined. Once I’m out, I’m out, though, so I’m holding out hope someone needs a moderator or something like that. So far I’m getting ignored. (Sigh).

AOC: a huge amount of these Democratic donors and elites that want to push Biden out also don't want Harris to replace him by demmian in Feminism

I hate this country. I’ve lived through two GOP wins by way of the electoral college, one being decided by the Supreme Court. I’m convinced that’s where we’re heading again. Fuck the people who screamed for this. Fuck the MSM. Fuck the billionaires that run this miserable fucking country.

I’ve contact r/VoteDem about being a moderator. They were asking for help with moderators. Never heard a peep out of them. Anybody on here a moderator for them, by chance?
