This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's really frustrating to me... by ewillND
That in my lifetime (I am 49) there will never be a woman POTUS.
I'm with you. I don't agree with her on much of anything, but she is normal and wouldn't be a dictator.
But our system is still, in 2024, set up for White men to be in power. The Republican party has been taken over by MAGA, and MAGA is racist and sexist. And women running as Democrats are viewed as "too soft."
So here we are, in 2024, with Trump v. Biden. I really wish that Gretchen Whitmer would run, and make everyone think a little harder.
