All things being equal, I too would prefer a woman President.
But things aren’t equal.
Every single last one of them that the System has offered up has been a bloodlust-crazed neo-con warhawk: Palin, Clinton, dear Nikki and now The Kam.
Trump’s record on this issue that matters most is better than any of them. Not great at all, just better. And Vance actually gets it. He is pretty close to an isolationist, and that is a better start than we’ve had in my entire lifetime and then some.
Do I care that he thinks I’m a childless soyboy cat lady? No I do not. I am one, and relatively proud of it, and he’s entitled to his dumb opinion on the issue. He earned it, by being an almost anti-war candidate.
In essence, the great orange satan is now the new lesser evil by a nose.
I don’t need to bother voting for him–he’s going to take my state’s electoral votes easily. I am once more ‘free’ to toss away my vote on Green Jill or the young soldier who burned himself to death protesting genocide. Rest his soul.
So …
Democracy, fuck yeah.
