A Crushing Kamala Defeat is a Win for Women
Kamala Harris losing the election is a win for women. I know that this does not appear to be straightforward to many, but it is true. When the day comes that a woman (if you’re wise enough to know what that is) is voted to the Presidency of the United States, it will only be a ceremonious victory for women if she is elected properly. Women want legitimate victories, not patronizing symbolic victories. And this is where we turn to Harris.
She would not have been a legitimate winner. I’m not saying she cheated or would have cheated. I’m saying that she did not win a primary, she did not persuade voters, she did not ascend to her potential office legitimately. She was placed there symbolically by patronizing democrats. This is no secret and not a debatable point. She would have never been given the reins of the party if she weren’t the Vice President, and she would not have been the Vice President if she didn’t check the DEI quotas the democrats adhere to. Again, this is no secret, President Biden said as much.
The same can be said of Hillary Clinton, who also did not legitimately win her party nomination. She was selected to win, and the party cleared the path for her nominal victory. Just ask Bernie Sanders about it. The democrats have put up two women as potential presidents, and both were thankfully rejected. This is not only because their policies were bad, but because it would have not been the resounding and legitimate victory for women that many suppose it would.
Someday, a woman will win her party’s primaries, and the white house, and she will have done it, and earned it, on her own. That will be a day worth celebrating. Thankfully we dodged a bullet (as did Trump) by almost settling for a Madame President who did not earn that station but was merely placed there for the symbolism. The real Madame President, wherever she is, should win legitimately, which will infuse the symbolism with real power.
