(51,215 posts)Or, more accurately, none of the differences comes close to my desire to be represented. None of the differences comes close to overcoming my outrage that 51%.of the population has never been represented for 250 years.
The preferences I am seeing people express for Joe over Beto or Liz over Kamala are all expressed in terms of feelings, not policy. If you get right down to it, their policy differences are minimal. So my feeling is that THOSE expressions of preference are frivolous.
And it is my feeling that a desire to see 51% of The population represented for the first time in history is in no way frivolous.
I do find the near hysteria with which my assertion has been met to be disturbing and telling. It is easy to forget, sometimes, how little regard even my fellow Democrats have for women.
