Love the pink pussy hats and the women’s march against the TrumpubliCON war against women.
Also glad to see the number of amazing women who are speaking out against the anti-semitic elements of the movement, and repudiating the more offensive elements to speak out for the betterment of society.
It is definitely time for a woman president.
My first choice? Elizabeth Warren. Far and way the best.
A definite second? My state’s U.S. Senator Kamala Harris. Great leader. Articulate. Brilliant. Strong. I have voted for her in every statewide primary or general election she has ever run in (election and re-election as our Attorney General and then an overwhelming victory as our Senator). If once-in-a-lifetime Elizabeth Warren wasn’t in the race, Kamala would be an easy first choice. I’ll never have a bad word to say about her, even if she isn’t quite my first choice. (She is, however, my wife’s first choice with Warren as her second.)
Third choice? Amy Klobuchar for sure. A long-time former prosecutor, she is tough as nails, but always with a smile on her face. The most-liked person in the Senate on either side of the aisle and most bipartisan.
The other women so far? Not so much.
Kirsten Gillibrand’s past A rating from the NRA and racist anti-immigrant views are disqualifying; the fact that she held those views when running in a conservative upstate New York district and then changed them after being APPOINTED (not elected) to fill the remainder of Hillary’s Senate term after Clinton became secretary of state is flip-flopping on the scale of a Democratic version of Mitt R-money.
Tulsi Gabbard’s support of Bernie Sanders in 2016 was refreshing, but the fact that she worked for her father’s GAY CONVERSION THERAPY CLINIC is disqualifying. Yeah, I saw her tearful apology and pledge that her views have changed. This is like a 19th century KKK Democratic who participated in lynchings apologizing for past mistakes.
It’s not just Farrakhan. Last year Jewish women were told they couldn’t march with any Jewish symbols because they bothered people who want to eliminate Israel, never mind that Judaism and Israel are not the same. Jews were told they had to denounce Israel’s existence in order to participate. This year there was more of the same and several statements from the organizers that Jews AS JEWS were responsible for everything from the slave trade to pretty much every ill in the world.
Jew-hatred has been almost universal on the Right, including most of those who support the existence of Israel. Now it is becoming endemic on the Left.

They’re all pulling away from her, but all the headlines will say they sang “Kum ba yah” with her and made secret anti-Jewish signs.
