   I am not going to dunk on any of the women candidates now that they have all suspended their campaigns. (No, Tulsi doesn’t count.) Each in her own way brought something valuable to this race, and the fact that we now have two elderly white dudes as our choices would be depressing, if we had time for depression. But the challenges and difficulties all of the women faced has got me thinking. What Hillary accomplished in 2016 in getting the Democratic nomination, and also in 2008 when she came so very close, is a remarkable testament to her talent, skill, and courage. As someone remarked on Twitter just now, her shoes are not easily filled. All the women of 2020 have learned that in a very painful way. I’m thinking of them today and standing in awe if Hillary once again.

   I am looking forward to the day (and I hope not in the too distant future) when women will unite and support a woman running for the presidency instead of falling for the same old sexist rhetoric the media always spews that a woman cannot win the presidency and then vote out of fear for an old white guy.

   In 2008, the black community refused to accept that a black man could not win and because of their unshakeable support for Obama, they made the impossible, possible. Women need to have that same passion in supporting a woman for the presidency. We’ve lost 2 extraordinary women (Hillary and Elizabeth) to men who simply could not hold a candle to them because of the fear that women simply were not good enough.

   We should stop settling for less, if we ever want to see REAL, substantive change happen in this country. We’ve tried the incremental approach with the men and each time we take 1 step forward with a democratic president, we then take 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…steps back when a republican gets elected president.

       Four. Kamala keeps getting erased. Fwiw, I think Amy will be Joe’s running mate, not Kamala. That would checkmate Trump’s goal of winning Minnesota.

   This campaign is going to be one long nightmare of double standards. Just finished “Hillary” on Hulu when I learned about Biden’s heated (to say the least) confrontation with the MAGA autoworkers this morning. Trying to imagine a world in which Hillary could swear and threaten to slap a voter without being forced to apologize or even be forced out of race. Can’t do it. Hillary was roasted over a slow fire for observing that half of Trump’s supporters were deplorable people. It’s gonna be crazy-making watching these old guys holler and yell at each other when Hillary was always such a model of restraint and self control and was still tone policed. Sigh.

     We are in completely uncharted territory now and probably for the duration. We are about to test the common knowledge about what works: rallies, door knocking, face-to-face contact. Everything we have been told is essential is about to go by the wayside. 2020 is so different from 2016 and every election year before it that we should just forget about making comparisons and tackle the challenge at hand: ousting the current regime and staying healthy while doing it. Everything depends on it. Everything.

       I wish I could stop seeing all politics thru the prism of 2016. I have made some progress. The current Joe Biden is starting to grow on me. Unbelievable! But necessary. Still, that Hillary documentary…it’s hard not to compare, especially now that we face this life or death crisis. It would not be like this with HRC in charge. My family and I have already begun taking social distancing measures even though here in Minnesota there is not yet evidence of community spread in any of the five (so far) cases. We know it’s just a matter of time and the only way to protect yourself is to be pro-active. Kids are getting an early spring break. If the school district doesn’t like it, they can pound sand.
