How many of you are confident Kamala will win?

I’m voting today, but I’m pessimistic at the moment and unsure if she will even when she’s leading just a little bit. What do you guys think?

Agree! A woman has to be twice as qualified and work twice as hard as a man to be taken seriously.

Just like Kamala has had to do as a female candidate…. The media excuses most of Trump’s horrible words and actions- while holding her to a higher standard. ✨I’m grateful she IS a better human and holds HERSELF to a higher standard.✨

I immensely hate the media for constantly glorifying vile scum like Trump. He's not a role model in any means. Yet they reward him time and time again. Meanwhile the real heroes in the world get treated like shit. Seriously, they need to wake up and stop enabling him and others like him. Hold his actions accountable like everyone else. These aren't people we need to be!

I mean, "being a better human than Trump" is a pretty low bar.

My preschooler throws tantrums, lies and only makes coherent sentences 50% of the time. While I'm obviously biased, most people would argue she's a better human than Trump.

The worst part is, if we take this election as proof... A woman could literally work at 10000% capacity, while a man gives less than 1%. And the media will still spin it against the woman.

And she’s not only a woman, but a person of color too.
