I’d like to bring up an extremely subtle point from last night that I believe subconsciously produced a very strong positive response from women. 

My wife several times last night while watching the proceedings remarked how happy, excited, and supportive Kamala’s husband seemed. Apparently that really made a positive impact on her. It’s something I probably would have not noticed. I’m thinking a lot of women noticed that, either consciously or subconsciously, and made them feel good too. 

In contrast, there's evidence that Melania only shows up when she's paid by the Trump campaign or PAC. And I realize that families can have different levels of public affection for each other, there is no evidence that anyone in the Trump family likes each other. Perhaps Melania and Baron being the exception.

Isn't there a lot of evidence that they dislike each other?

But until they're openly feuding, they are ALL posers who I wish nothing but the worst for because they're leeches on society.

Goddamnit. Seriously, I hate logging back into this site to clarify shit for folks. 
 

calling someone out online to fight is retarded. But when someone is claiming that anything other than Trump is the feminization of America, that’s a different story. 
so let’s go fuckface. My offer is on the table. Iconoclast can watch if he pays $100. But no fucking way will I breed that piece of shit. I’m not interested in aids. If he is lucky after I cum all over creasy’s face, I might (depending on my mood) spill my seed on his face. That way he won’t feel like the total loser he is. 

let’s go creasy. Let’s prove you are the alpha male for America. Feel free to DM me. But you won’t because you are in fact a pussy. I bet your wife fakes her orgasms.

Even Clinton’s speech at this year’s DNC was about Harris breaking through glass ceiling. 

Harris is just superior, more experienced candidate than trump. Hands down. I think Harris is being smart as she obviously knows how this election is breaking along gender lines but doesn’t need to “Captain Obvious” it all the time. 

One possible explanatory factor for this might be the generation thing. Yes, they're both technically Boomers, but Hillary was born in 1947 while Kamala was born in 1964 (honestly, it's ridiculous that those are considered the same generation). If you subscribe to the notion that what's going on in the world when you come of age imprints an overarching worldview and political philosophy for the remainder of your life, then it'd make sense that Hillary is more invested in the idea of breaking the glass ceiling. 

Hillary came of age when women burned their bras in "radical" protests for equal rights, and she was still in her mid-20s for the Roe decision. In other words, she was in that prime "I'm fighting for my basic, fundamental rights" age group. Kamala, on the other hand, came of age well after those battles in the mid-1980s when women were starting to make real professional strides and actively experienced the breaking of the "glass ceiling" at a fairly young age.

This isn't to say that Kamala wouldn't have had to deal with a whole lot of bullshit early on (and obviously still does), but I think she probably learned early on how to navigate those waters productively and professionally.

I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else and I'm not saying it is the sole factor in all of this, but it checks out pretty well in my simple mind. 

Edit: I'll add another bit of food for thought on Hillary. By the time Bill ran for president, Hillary was already a clearly accomplished woman in her own right, but I remember pretty well some stupid fucking brouhaha about her not being the type of woman who baked cookies in the kitchen as being some sort of issue as a potential First Lady when Bill was running in 1992. I think there was even a thing on 60 Minutes about it when they were interviewed during the campaign. Other olds, I'm sure, remember that as well.

At this point, it's well known Kamala likes to cook, but that's just kind of a fun fact as opposed to a defining feature of who she is as a woman, an attorney, or a national leader.

I was born in 92 so I have no memory of the election but my mother voted for Trump in 2016, and has since turned around and voted for Beto, Biden, and fucking figured out how to pull up a live stream (this woman routinely locks herself out of her email or Amazon or whatever) to support Kamala.

In one of our many "How can you be serious about voting for Trump?" conversations my mom harkened back to the whole Hillary not baking cookies thing. Some nonsense about Hillary not being a "real mom" and looking down on women like herself, who were.

Made no sense and was obviously the right wing outrage machine finding a way to strike a chord with my mother in light of her own issues, but that has really stuck with me as an example of just how extreme the coordinated media campaign against HRC was. She telegraphed her ambitions and Republicans spent years laying the foundation to prepare for her inevitable presidential candidacy.

Kamala may well pay some electoral tax as a woman, particularly a black woman, but she has a shot at making that a net neutral because the same advanced outrage machine just does not exist for her. Not in the very personal sense it did for Hillary Clinton anyway.

I think it’s pretty obvious to the entire world that the most enlightened, intelligent, and visionary people in the world are 60. 

They were raised by the Silent Generation, our best generation in the last 100 years. They had to deal with the selfishness and lack of perspective of the boomer generation, and are likely facing retirement with no pensions.

They had to deal with the disappearing act of Gen X. They had to raise Millenial kids with wildly different priorities and perspectives than themselves. And now they have to tolerant the super “look at me” generation without slapping them.
