Do you think the USA should have a female as president?

[Anonymous]

[ohshee]

It has to be one of the hardest jobs ever and you're not going to satisfy everybody there's always going to be somebody bitching and moaning because they didn't get their prize and are Cracker Jacks
I would back a woman president if she was a leader another follower if she was a true president and not a true big mouth like I said it has to be one of the most hardest jobs ever and now since everybody walks around and acts like Trump it's kind of degrading to all Americans like I said it's an un thankful job I truly hope someday there is a woman president but not right now it's the wrong time because all the little trumpsters would have a field day with her and it would show that Americans are more split than ever there's a lot of things that have to be tackled first like Mental Health people on this planet especially in America should not have children they cannot raise them or put the time and energy into having a child in it takes to raise them look what's going on right now our children are going to be last very last in education because of this covid-19 is this another manipulation I guarantee you china-japan other countries their children are going to school they probably doubled up on teaching them but anyway yes one of these days I hope there is a woman president

[Aethereal]

Not American. I think a country should seek to have the most qualified leader who puts the people's welfare first. I see the US entering an era of diversity quotas over meritocracy and reason. I think it would be a disaster if Americans chose a president just to meet a diversity quota.

A president, whether female, black, Asian, Gay, etc. should be president because they are a capable and qualified leader who just happens to be a woman/Black/Asian/Gay etc., and not President because they are one or more of these (or other) things that it would be nice to have represented.

[Amy10223]

I think that the US needs a fair and sensible president, who is kind, and understanding to the people and country he rules. I don't think the president needs to be discriminating, unfair, selfish, egotistical, and cruel to the people he rules over. Gender does not matter. It's the kind of person with much intelligence, personality and sense, that matters.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Unfortunately, gender identity (as well as sex) does matter in this country.
We've had 59 USA Presidential Elections, and we've still never had a female president. That's not a coincidence.

[goaded]

@EnglishArtsteacher Well, they only got the vote half-way through, and the ability to open their own bank accounts 40 years ago.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

@goaded Exactly! So... this proves my point lol.

[Amy10223]

@EnglishArtsteacher The fact that there has never been a female president ever in over 230 years--does not matter to me in terms of who will do a good job--I don't care if the person is white, black, yellow, purple, male, or female--it's the kind of person doing the job that matters to me, and not a gender. That there has never been a female president is a sign of the kind of country we live in--ruled mostly by mean--and that is shameful as well--but that is a whole other issue altogether.

[goaded]

I couldn't agree more. I've had both Thatcher and Merkel run the country I was living in, so I know it's got nothing to do with sex and everything to do with personality.

[Amy10223]

@EnglishArtsteacher I don’t really care about gender. It’s the qualifications and sensibility, along with a loyalty to our country that I feel would be important for consideration into the presidency. As for there not being a woman president in over the last 230 years, that’s a whole new issue altogether and is a symptom of one of the weaknesses of the country itself. Inequality between the genders here is a shameful and serious problem. But that has nothing to do with whom I would consider a great president.

[Screamsgutter]

@goaded Most men (white who didn't own land) in the US couldn't vote until 1918, two years prior to when women could. Single women and widows could open bank accounts in their own name, however married women needed permission to do so from their husbands.

[goaded]

@Screamsgutter

15th Amendment (1870): "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."
19th Amendment (1920): "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

[Anonymous]

Yes. If they are qualified and capable, absolutely.
But Americans tend not to like putting women in positions of power. They find ways to degrade their character and justify not putting women into office.

[OlderAndWiser]

I think we should have the most qualified conservative leader as president.

[Amy10223]

Qualified yes, not necessarily conservative.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Amy10223 We all have our biases.

[Amy10223]

Specifying one particular group does seem biased, yes.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Amy10223 Specifying that t be a female is just as biased.

[Amy10223]

Of course, I agree. But being conservative is also a category.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Amy10223 Yes, I understand that. It is my bias, but it is at least a bias that is related to the job I want a president to do.

[Amy10223]

We’ll see, I have no bias. I just want those qualifications with no importance in political parties or affiliations. That’s my difference.

[MCheetah]

Only if they're qualified for the job. And not at all just based on their gender.

Hilary Clinton? God no.
Kamala Harris? F*CK NO!
AOC? Only if you want us to nuke ourselves immediately after.
Tulsi Gabbard? Definitely.

The only sane choice there is.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

So are you saying Tulsi Gabbard is the only woman viable for the job?

[MCheetah]

@EnglishArtsteacher
Out of the ones that ran in 2020, yes.
Other female candidates could be out there, but I do not know of any good ones as of this time.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

@MCheetah I thought Elizabeth Warren was a great choice too.

Unfortunately, sexism in the USA is still prevalent.

[Lliam]

I wouldn't hesitate to vote for a woman, but I wouldn't vote for someone just because they were female. For example, I'd gladly vote for Kristi Noem or Tulsi Gabbard, but NEVER for a creature like Hillary or Harris or any other Democrat I can think of.

[lightbulb27]

I think we could have one, not that we should have one. Just being female doesn't make a person better and may make them much worse. I'd be selective based upon qualities.

I voted for Tulsi in the primary... only one I know of I'd pick, there may be others.

I couldnt' stand hillary.
Geraldine F. (VP)... didn't know her well enough.
Kamala... send her back now, not qualified. stupid.

[hahahmm]

Not if it's just for the sake of having a female president. I would only support a conservative for president. Someone with a deep track record too. 99.99998% of women never even put in half of the work it takes to seriously be a candidate. They didn't think it was important to do that.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Yes, I do.

That doesn't mean I think any eligible woman should be the President of the United States of America, but we should have a female president some time in the future. It's ridiculous that we have had 59 Presidential Elections, and still haven't elected one woman, despite the fact women make up a majority of the population.

We've seen men run this country into the ground, so why not give women a chance?

[NamerOfStars]

Not inherently, no; there's nothing about being a woman that makes you better able to lead, or to protect the country from Congress (which is the President's real function). I have no problem with the idea of a female President, though, and I'm all about meritocracy. Heck, I voted for Tulsi Gabbard in the primaries.

[HighValue]

If you want them just for the sake of having a woman president then you are sexist and ignorant. It is like how Biden is showing his racism and sexism by having the primary qualifier for a Supreme Court justice be a Black woman. All men are automatically disqualified based on their gender, and all Whites, Hispanics, and Asians are disqualified outright because of their race. It is sexism and racism.

[HighValue]

Everyone that disagrees is either racist, sexist, or both. Make a logical opposing statement without being racist or sexist if you disagreed with my statement.

[globetrotter22]

I am moderate conservative and I will vote for a woman any day just as long as her policies align to what I believe in.

But don’t put a woman in office for sake of “equality”. Biden already did that by giving his number one qualification as a running mate to be a “minority woman” i. e. Kamala Harris and she sucks! She has even lower approval rating than Biden which is quite impressive given almost no one likes Biden.

[Anonymous]

Not off the basis of being a female.

The first female president should be elected for being the best option, not just because vagina. It's part of the reason why Clinton lost the bid multiple times, her campaign was solely centered around "I have a vagina, vote for me"

[abc3643]

That's false.

1) Hillary Clinton only ran for President once.

2) Hillary Clinton won the popular vote; she lost the electoral vote. In other words, more people wanted her to be President than Trump.

3) She was qualified to be President, vagina or not, and vastly more qualified than Trump. She had the background in law and politics and foreign affairs sufficient to be a very good president.

4) Her negatives were that she came across as overly assertive during the first Clinton Administration (1993-1997), Benghazi (which was bullshit), and "the damn emails" (yet no one in the GOP is concerned about Trump's illegal destruction or removal of records from The White House). Although, perhaps worst of all were the Democratic establishment (and liberal media) themselves. So sure of her victory, yet wanting to do anything to assure that, they actually alienated independents who liked the brash confidence of Trump in the "flyover states". But, her having a vagina was only a negative among voters who thought the only reason she was running or being supported was because she had a vagina. Thinking Americans voted for her because they knew her and that she was effective.

@abc3643 I have no idea why people are claiming Hillary Clinton lost the popular vote in the 2016 Presidential Election.

A simple Google search proves otherwise lol.

[abc3643]

@jamesgoldman
How is "I'm With Her" relevant?
If Trump fans had "I'm With Him", would that make his candidacy all about his penis?

You need to study logic.

Feel free to download and study this free classic textbook on the subject.

[FunkyMonkee]

That depends greatly on if she's qualified to do the job and will do a good job of it while she's in! I don't vote according to crotch workings or skin colour! I vote according to who is best for the job and will do it well!! Although, with all the election fraud we just saw last time, your vote doesn't even matter anymore. It's just an illusion!

[SmokyOne]

I just want the best for the job, and at this point I'm convinced that's never gonna happen as long as we're in a2 party system. Left and right have given mostly trash candidates, can't take responsibility for themselves and would rather see the country torn in two than to make a compromise. It's like the federal government is more concerned with being the next springer or maury than actual being government.

[letssee89]

I'm more concerned about a prospective president's knowledge of the job, and their competency to do the job.

If the best person for the job is a woman, it should be a woman. If the best person happens to beat man, it should be a man. I always vote for the best person for the job, regardless of gender, race, or political party.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

I would not mind a female as President just as long she is not like the IDIOTS pushed on us last election. Dumb, Dumbmer Dumbest A former first lady now an operative for Russia a couple senile old men a Native American princess [ not ] and a woman who giggles at every crisis.

[Jay3344]

If they are qualified for the job, yes. Gender matters less to me than the qualifications and abilities. It’s a job, I don’t want certain people in the job, but not because of gender or race or sexual preference or whatever. They have to fill a position that is very symbolic and it’s a leadership role that is beyond the US border. So it is a big challenge for whoever takes it on.

[EmbraceThePain]

“Should”
No


Just like it shouldn’t have a white, black, Asian, or Hispanic president.


It SHOULD have a competent, knowledgeable, moral, fair, strong-willed, and reasonable president.

[KatherineJ]

Sure! But not just because she is female, but because she is the best and most capable candidate. #Tulsi

[EnglishArtsteacher]

True.

The problem is, every single time a woman comes close to being in power, the people in this country claim "But not this woman...", which is implicit Sexism.

[KatherineJ]

@EnglishArtsteacher is it implicit sexism, or is it that the female in question is terrible? Example: Hillary Clinton

[EnglishArtsteacher]

It's implicit sexism.

We've elected plenty of "terrible" men for president of this country. Therefore, being "terrible" doesn't prevent someone from being elected; their sex, and often times their race does.

[KatherineJ]

@EnglishArtsteacher sure, there is sexism in the world. But we shouldn’t be voting for any candidate based on their genitals.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

stop making everything about gender...
the Germans here are already annoying as hell with their "Frauenquote" in politics. Instead of looking for the most skilled and experienced person they just say "Its a women, so we take her"

[CrazyGirl2]

Why would you ask this anonymously? It’s as bland a question as anyone could ever ask, there is zero need to remain anonymous!

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Because chances are, the asker is too sexist to vote for a woman to be a world leader lol.

[CrazyGirl2]

@EnglishArtsteacher Maybe, who knows? I’ve just never seen such a ridiculous use of the anonymous option! My guess would be that whoever it is, they are just SO used to clicking the anonymous option, that they did it here, just out of habit?

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Right, and I stick by my statement: Nobody asks a question like this anonymously if that someone isn't sexist themselves.

[DryGermanGuy]

I guess this discussion alone can be considered progress. A few decades ago the debate was, if women should be allowed to do sports, for the fear their uterus could fall out of the vagina...

[Adam1978]

It's doesn't matter what gender they are whatever goes through your system will be a bad pick. It will be som rich corrupt person who only work to better things for the elites that sponsor them.

[abc3643]

Yes, and it will sooner or later. I am hoping within my lifetime - and it should have happened in 2017 - but it may not. But, it will happen in your lifetime.

[jamesgoldman]

No one wanted Hillery Clinton, even Bill spend his time looking at other women

[abc3643]

@jamesgoldman Sexually, maybe. But more people voted for her than Donald Yrump for President.

It sounds to me like your are making this about her vagina. With that line of thinking, maybe you should make this about Trump's chronically cheating penis.

[jamesgoldman]

No it's about her genocide ear mongering and serial murders she signed off on to keep her secrets

[EnglishArtsteacher]

@jamesgoldman Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 Presidential Election, so apparently, many people at least wanted her to win that presidency.

[jamesgoldman]

Because you can't deal with the now established facts you're backtracking

[abc3643]

@jamesgoldman OK, it's evident that you are young and fucked in the head. Thank you for self-identifying so I don't waste my time further with you. Buh-bye.

[UdontNeedtoknow]

Weather the president is female or male shouldn't fucking matter. Its the POLICIES of that candidate that should or shouldn't garner your vote. Judge these lying politicians on there actions and not there words. Research what they have actually done.

[Teresa435435454]

Yeah, I do; if its a quality candidate that is not a leftist Moron.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Why did you capitalize "moron"?

[Mango-man]

If she is qualified. It would be tragedy if she was chosen as president only because of positive discrimination and because of her skills.

[Mango-man]

*and not because of her skills

[Tyrael]

Only if she's the best candidate for the job and not elected just because of what's between her legs.

[GlassTop]

Definitely not unless she’s qualified. We don’t need a Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton just because she’s female. America is a very powerful country with a lot of responsibilities. We’ve lost Afghanistan and Ukraine thanks to poor leadership.

[Cherry234]

Yes, I support that. But no one that's as crooked as Trump.

[888theGreat]

yea right

[josephinelcajon]

It needs a good PERSON to represent its people. It does not matter the sex or race religion or nationality

[Diodoro]

No, but I'm also not opposed

I see no unique value that a woman provides that a man could not as far as leadership is concerned.

[America1st]

I see no reason why not if she is qualified. I've yet to have someone give me a legitimate reason women shouldn't hold any political office.

[Lionman95]

I think the USA could have a female president one day but I don´t think being female should be her only quality for the job.

[jennifer_bloom]

I think intelligence and character matter more than gender so I do not mind a female president. I do not doubt the intelligence of educated woman.

[BCA6010]

Sure, if she's qualified and has views/priorities I support.

I don't really care what's between the president's legs.

[exitseven]

Is she was qualified and had a good plan for America I would vote for her. I would not vote for somebody because of their race, gender or sexual preference.

[DizzyDesii]

I dont care about their gender or race because i’ll never pay politics much attention anyways. But it would be nice if they werent crooked for once

[jamesgoldman]

Politics is all crooked, I think the mafia are probably on par ethically

[bamesjond0069]

I dont give a rats ass the gender of the president providing they are extremely conservative politically. That being said id feel sad for any woman who holds such a position, what must her family be going through? Who is cooking the kids dinner?

[humpbackjack]

Sure. It’s gonna happen some day and I think they’ll at least as good as anyone else and hopefully a lot better then our last few presidents

[Citizenkirk]

Just any female? Or one that is qualified to do the job, because I don't see too many candidates throwing in their hat to this election?

[Heartache0405]

I wouldn't feel comfortable with a female president but as long as they're not democrat, I'd feel a bit better about it.

[jshm2]

Don't be stupid.

It barely works with a male in charge. It's not civilised enough to have a female on Native in charge.

[Subarugirl]

I think that our government should have equal female representation in our Government.. you know since women make up half if no more of the U. S. population.

[HighValue]

That is like saying there should be equal representation of women in prison as men just for the sake of having the numbers being the same. Just being a woman doesn't mean she is qualified.

[Subarugirl]

@HighValue well first of all that is a false comparison and second of all equal representation in government is important.. hell women weren't even allowed to vote until 1920, and that was only 100 years ago. If woman made up the grand majority of our government officials I am sure you would get on board with equal representation..

[HighValue]

There would be more bad results like in Chicago, Seattle, etc. where they lead. And the people that want more women in government just for the sake of having them, regardless of qualifications are sexist. they usually prefer women that are also sexist and soft on crime.

[Screamsgutter]

And most men (white who didn't own land) didn't get voting rights 'til 1918. By the way, we have elections here. If a candidate regardless of gender doesn't run for office, they're not elected. And then they still have to win.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Soly based on gender, no. If she possess the traits I look for in a president like honesty, integrity, smart, leadership and patriotism then I wouldn't mind a female president.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, it's way overdue to happen, either she will be Republican or Democrat and she will easily win 2 terms

[Guy13]

You are going to have a President AOC 2028 so ACCEPT IT now ‼️

[llorando]

If the most qualified happens to be the most qualified, then yes, the US should have a female president, but if it's because they are a woman and nothing else then we don't need female president.

[Karen37373]

I do; but it needs to be someone with good policies or else I won't vote for her. Hillary Clinton wanted open borders among a million other way left policies. Stupid policies. I would never vote for her; despite being female.

[AviatorTom]

The leader ibf any country should be a person qualified for the job.

[Anonymous]

Yes, if for no other reason than to piss off patriarchal countries like (pick a Middle eastern country). Also we wouldn't get involved with the Ukraine standoff. Because if Putin pissed her off rather than go to war she'd just stop talking to him. 🤣

[dumbassmcgee]

In due time. In due time. Not heels up Harris by default. No. Or Hillary.

[Dargil]

I would be OK with that if one like Thatcher or Judi Dench came along.

[RealMarek]

Not if it must be Giggles (that’s Harris, her other nicknames are not polite).

[MCheetah]

I did not know this was Harris' nickname.

[RealMarek]

@MCheetah it’s one of them. It refers to how when asked things like “Why did you imprison hundreds of innocent black men while attorney general of California?,” she’ll begin her reply with an awkward giggle. “Kneepads” is the other. It refers to certain favors she gave Willie Brown (the married speaker of the CA general assembly) in exchange for advancement of her political career when she was new to politics.

[Andres77]

Best person for the job
Doesn't matter if they're male or female.

[elizsaeli]

I read online they have never had a female president before so it would be good for a change

[TheFlak38]

yes someone like Hilary Clinton. to completely destroy the US

[JohnK123]

Yes sometime but not just given to a female so that we can have a female
she has to earn it and win the popular vote and electoral college

[nawtee_me]

I think so yes. The two guys we have now that could be the next president are not worth voting for. If you run I will vote for you... lol

[Staximus]

As long as it's not Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, or Nancy Pelosi

[DWornock]

It doesn't matter because the president is not in charge. They must obey or masters.

[Surely]

I am sure a woman could handle the presidency.
Just not most of the ones in politics now!
