It'll need to be a white man. Because that seems to be the only thing Republicans care about. So if it's a white man again they'll get a lot of votes back they lost because of racism and misogynism.
Sadly, that's nothing less than true.
I knew that racism on many levels still existed, but I thought it was largely a dying thing--part of the past that one could see steadily fading. God, how ignorant I was.
So yes, to ensure Trump's defeat, to take more seats in the House, and win back the Senate, it's gonna have to be a white guy. And ideally, he would win two terms, which means the next non-white and/or female POTUS wouldn't be able to take office until 2030. That's tragic because it represents a step back, a win for the mouth breathing assholes who support Trump and the GOP. But maybe by then, many of the old racists who take Viagra for Trump will be dead, the youth will turnout, and those who are now 18-24 will have remained largely progressive.
Maybe then, the best candidate can be chosen regardless of ethnicity or gender. But it's still fucking sad.
