Not an American, so maybe I don’t have the same depth or insight into the candidates, but as bad as Kamala might have been, I think she would have been better than Trump. But then again I think a potato would make a better president than Trump.


It doesn't matter. A black woman is entirely unelectable in the United States.

Moderate and conservatives in the US are deeply sexist and racist. I know plenty of women who wouldn't vote for a female president and are very open about it.


I disagree. Someone like Condi Rice would be electable, if she were willing to enter the fray of politics.

It’s like saying, we’d never elect a Jew because Bernie didn’t do well. No, he just didn’t have policies the majority of the country agreed with.


Policies are irrelevant. Americans are still deeply sexist and racist.

I grew up conservative and know very well the quiet things they don't say to most people.

A woman, let alone a black woman, is not electable in the US right now.

It blows my mind how people seem to think Americans aren't still sexist/racist when there is so much evidence saying otherwise. It's important to get outside our social circles and talk to people with differing views.
