In reply to the discussion: I didn't vote for a woman in 2016 [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,216 posts)I'm sure you'd say that that is her decision, and has nothing to do with you. That's fine. Not all Democrat woman voters have the same priorities. Its a big tent and all that. I agree. She just had a higher watermark than gender is all. So its odd that you'd openly admit your standards are much more one dimensional. "If the Democratic primary is between a woman and a man, I'm voting for the woman."
Okay after saying all that, I'm sorry. Because I do understand what you meant. That any candidate....whether man or woman... would be light years ahead of any Republican candidate. And so, ANY woman, at least the leading woman candidate, would have your vote. That is totally logical. All I was pointing out was that there were others who, while they also appreciate the fact that we are overdue having the highest decisions in the land being made through the life experience and eyes of a woman, are still more prone to look at policy first.....even if that means putting on hold a great historic first.
A better example would be if Warren had been in Sanders place in the last primary, and it was Elizabeth vs. Hillary. Or if it will be Warren vs. Harris, or Harris vs. Gillibrand. Because then you'd have to consider policies as well, minute though you feel they may be. But I guess you'd cross that bridge if it ever came up. You and me both!
best of the holidays.
