45. So there are democrats admitting they are looking for a male savior?

Sat Jun 6, 2026, 10:16 PM

Saturday

This is so old fashioned and male oriented.

Women lost their rights in the USA. And Platner (who many fawned over) called women terrible names and blamed women for rape. Female candidates are never admired for being rough around the edges but still fight for principals: Hillary, Kamala, Governor Janet Mills.
Democrats deserve better

"We have been waiting for our own version of General Grant: a flawed man, imperfect in his personal life, rough around the edges, but willing to fight relentlessly for principles larger than himself."
