Harris, a woman who is both black and Indian American, wondered aloud if "America was ready for a woman and a woman of color to be president of the United States of America. It is an issue she has brought up on the campaign trail as well, questioning whether her race and gender might be a hindrance to her presidential bid amid the largest group of major contenders the Democratic party has ever seen -- a field that includes an openly gay mayor, a Hindu Pacific Islander congresswoman, an African American senator, a Latino former cabinet secretary, and an Asian American businessman.

Leah Wright Rigueur, an assistant professor of public policy at Harvards Kennedy School of Government, told ABC News that for most of the country ... gender is not a hindrance to people voting for a political candidate. On the other hand, she said, there are elements of sexism, or unique challenges that female candidates face, that male candidates do not. Nevertheless, Wright Rigueur noted that black women often do well when they run for office because they have the ability to unite disparate coalitions into alliances that end up propelling them into office. So you might call them unifiers -- they're very good at unifying various coalitions.

There's nothing wrong with posing the question she did. That doesn't excuse from her being a shitty candidate and running a garbage campaign.

The real question is why TC is posting identity politics news articles from almost a month ago.

She may have a point. Tulsi Gabbard is a proud woman of color and certain people don't want her to be president.

youd vote for this Tulsi who said this while in office

To try to act as if there is a difference between civil unions and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii, she said. As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists.

but Kamala is sociopath? Lol ok.

Tulsi has literally staffed her campaign team with members of a cult that is an offshot of the Hare Krishna's, just way more homophobic. Fuck her

And that's not even taking into account her weird relationships and support for al-Assad or Modi, both brutal dictators who have the blood of thousands on their hands.

Literally the entire democratic party at the time. compared to a community destroying policy with insane incarceration rates and she still ran on how she wants to find ridiculous ways to lock people in cages you are nit picking. Gay marriage isn't even a legitimate talking point for Republicans any more. No one cares and the opinion polls which are what really decides social issues continue to support legalization. Only hypocritical rabid Hillary fans hang onto this.

I never called her homophobic despite her flip flopping on the issue and I'm glad she's no longer against them marring.

But that doesn't take away her staffing her campaign with members of an openly homophobic cult.

she was only 23 years old, and also she believes in 3 gods who tell her there are 2 genders, this makes her less accountable.

A 23 year old in 2004 pushing that train of thought deserves to be treated with contempt. It's not as if it wasn't any less homophobic then

Did you really just ask us if we expect a politician to have fully thought out political beliefs? That's literally the job.

in representative democracy, unfortunately, the only job of politicians is to win elections and fulfill legal obligations (and in hawaii, to be over 18)

there is nothing meritocratic or intellectually binding about it beyond their capacity to meet those minimum requirements

I think in the year of our Lord 2004, Democrats were not on the side of gays wanting civil unions as homosexual extremists and your attempt at gaslighting is sociopathic.

(i dont actually think its sociopathic, but using that word to demonstrate how loosely you threw it out)
