There are many women (nowhere near as smart as JoFrance) that will vote for Harris merely because she's a woman. Recently stumbled onto this thread on Reddit that is full of these types of posts. They think that anyone that wouldn't vote for Harris is ignorant, sexist, racist, etc.

I don't have a problem with women but modern American women are the most pampered group in the history of the world. They have so many more opportunities than in the past. Yet many still claim that they're victims and at the risk of "losing rights" if their candidate is no elected.

I would prefer not to be a pessimist HOWEVER, this country shocked the heck out of me by electing 45. Black people I knew for years voted for him and never watched his rallies or pathetic behavior, racist comments, encouraging violence etc. Now, I don't trust this country to make the right decisions for MANY reasons, and America takes the privilege of having a Democracy for granted by readily relinquishing it.

The one thing I know as a woman is that AMERICA HATES WOMEN.

The one thing I know as a BLACK woman is that this country is RACIST as all hell. As Black women, we get the double whammy of being ostracized from many areas in society.

I fear this country will allow its SEXISM, MISOGYNY, and RACISM to control how they vote in November. I think many people underestimate how ignorant many Americans are. Yes, even the college/university educated suburban white Karens will vote to have MEN in the office rather than a woman.

Personally, I do not believe Vice President Harris will win. It's not because she isn't a decent candidate, it's because this country WILL NOT allow a woman as a leader of this country. Even Mexico 🇲🇽 got on that before America. To refresh everyone's memory, Elizabeth Warren is a total badass in the BEST ways. She started her campaign earlier than everyone else, she connected with women, she had great ideas and suggestions, and she was smart as a mutha-effing whip. Regardless of the STELLAR campaign she ran, and regardless of how intelligent she is, America said NO. America preferred more of the SAME. Two white men.

The margins between Biden/Trump were CLOSE. TOO CLOSE. Kamala was only selected because (Representative James Clyburn) endorsed Biden (and the Black community needed a running mate of color.) There is a strong likelihood Biden would not have won if he wasn't running with a person of color. I believe Biden was trying to set Kamala up to take office if he (went on to be with the lord) while in office. I appreciate thinking ahead, but I don't think it will work since he isn't being re-elected. People voted for Biden because he was the closest candidate to having Obama back in office. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Another issue is that people of all races and parties aren't happy with some of what Biden has done in office. People fear that Kamala naturally as a Democrat will continue his agenda. We all know politicians say one thing to get elected, then abandon alot of what they said once in office. According to polls, more people even in our own community are breaking away from the Dems and siding with the red hats.

Also, Kamala during the last election wasn't exactly liked by the masses. Her campaign crashed and burned, and even as Vice President, some people are confused on what her beliefs are, how far she leans left, what she is doing, AUTHENTICITY, and how she is fulfilling her role in the White House. Some of these concerns are warranted, others are unfair and biased because she is a WOMAN.

The Supreme Court and other entities are paving the way for 45 to re-enter the White House. Remember folks, THREE CONSERVATIVE JUSTICES were added to the Supreme Court. Never in a million years with all of the charges, accusations, felonies etc did I ever believe he would be allowed to run again. This country should be ashamed of itself at this point. It's eambarrassing and dangerous. America is following the pathway to a dictatorship through division, prejudices, willful ignorance, inaction and simply not caring one way or the other.

Lastly, the Electoral College will screw you over when you least expect it to. Ahem....45. 😐 That electoral college crap needs to be put to bed. I fear that people won't come out to vote at all because they don't like either candidate, or they won't vote in time because of mail in ballots, or simply not having transportation to vote in their district. OR, they will give their vote to the Red Hats just for the heck of it.

I'm not very optimistic about the future of the U.S. Last election, I just so happened to be in Europe sick to my stomach in FEAR. I was relieved somewhat to hear Biden won, but that fear has never gone away. It's interesting because people harp on people like Nancy Pelosi when she was holding the mutha-effing line while 45 was in office. But I fear there will be a day, when people like her won't be around to stop the run-away train of terror and our rights being steadily taken away. 😐

I hope I'm wrong.
