"No more dynasties"--for women, that is

[Kentonio]

183. Well first of all, let's start with the basic fact that I couldn't care less what you believe.

Now with that out of the way, to answer your question, what made me personally jump into the Chelsea thread was because despite her not being a politician or having expressed any interest in running there were still many people tripping over each other to talk about what a great candidate she'd be. That pisses me off.

Although I'm sure she's a lovely person, she is nothing more or less than a citizen. There is not a single reason why she would be automatically any more suited to running for office than about a hundred million other Americans, yet because she has a familiar name the celebrity star dust kicks in, and people start waxing lyrical about her as a potential leader. Based on exactly nothing but her family name.

And then of course there are people like you, who jump in with your facile accusations of sexism because some of us don't think the Presidency should be an extended edition of the Kardashians.
