There is a reason that in 2019, American women do not have equal protection under the law.

.... might just doom our hopes of ejecting the illegitimate con man in the White House.

I voted for Clinton in 2016. I could easily vote for Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard or Amy Klobuchar on a ticket. My personal preference would be Elizabeth Warren.

If Kirsten Gillibrand were to make the ticket I would hold my nose and vote for that ticket as well.
However, she lost my unqualified support when she led the movement to expel Senator Al Franken.

Senator Franken was a major asset to the Democratic party. Particularly given the need to vote the con man out of office.

I worry about the same thing. It saddens me to think that running a woman presidential candidate might give us 4 more years of trump. People are such idiots!

As for Kristen Gillebrand, it will take me more than holding my nose to vote for her if she is on the ticket, but by force of will I will do it.
