That is so far removed from feminism I question your comprehension of the term.

My thoughts are to send congratulations to America! Congratulations to Joe Biden and to Kamala Harris! May the next president and vice president be filled with grace, wisdom and courage as they undertake the job of restoring dignity and democracy and health to government in these United States of America.
Well said.

I dont understand how people dislike Trump because of his character/ personality, however they like Kamala.

Kamala slept her way to the top and accepted a job from a man she accused of being a racist and a rapist.

So to be proud to have a woman VP is fine, but Kamala is far from a role model, in fact, she is everything you teach your daughters not to be.

texan2yankee said no such thing. Your side won the election - you can stop lying and making up BS. Also, you can retire the "anyone who disagrees with me is racist/sexist" nonsense.

Who cares. Many people consider Harris a socialist. Focus on that, instead of gender.

I think people dislike Trump because of his abrasive personality. It just makes them feel better to say it's his character.

It has always baffled me that so many people value a pleasant demeanor over actual competence. I personally don't care if my doctor, auto mechanic, plumber, or whatever is obnoxious - they just need to be competent. However, a large portion of the population seems to prefer someone who will blow smoke up their butts while robbing them blind. It's a trend that is becoming increasingly prevalent across society. I'm all for being pleasant, but pleasantness should never be the #1 priority (except in certain obvious occupations). When being pleasant becomes the most important factor, you end up with grinning idiots like Biden running the country. Obviously, I would prefer a pleasant, competent person, but they seem to be in short supply among the ranks of politicians.
