      1. Al Franken (and likely future stories of other politicians) shows why gender equity still matters in politics.

      2. Women bosses & politicians can have the same flaws as male counterparts but they are also demonstrably much less likely to sexually harass.

          Warren would be awesome if you want to guarantee Trump a second term

          Planning on condemning @JordanChariton who has been accused of sexual assault? Or any of the other male journalists who call themselves “progressive”. If not, WHY?https://twitter.com/chrischiakulas/status/931381944469917696 …

          Jeet, do you find it ironic that the much maligned “Identity Politics” is what leads to the marginalization of Bill Clinton?

          If the Democrats want to lose, sure. A white woman nominee is the least likely to get the get the votes of white males who might vote for a Democrat (as the 2016 election showed). A non-white woman would be better, but a non-white man would still get more votes.

          That's an absurdly broad brush Not every man sexually harasses women, & women political leaders (Indira Gandhi, Thatcher) may come with their own violent & abusive tendencies. And if you don't think women can be sexual harassers, try being a man amongst drunk women in a gay bar.

          Again utter oleaginous nonsense. Franken’s prankish behaviour has NOTHING to do with power. Moore’s, Weinstein’s, Spacey’s and Clinton’s do. Franken’s conduct reveals the slippery slope; particularly by reactionary liberals who rather charge and convict without thinking!

          One downside though is if the 2020 Dem loses (most presidents get re-elected, so Trump has a decent shot). If the first two women to be nominated lose in a row, then women will widely be considered unelectable for the WH.
