32. Here's my theory.

Two outstanding candidates for president lost partly or mostly to reprehensible misogyny on the part of voters.

Change is slow. "Hearts and Mnds" change over decades, mostly not at all.

JUST WIN, AND THEN KICK ASS.

I do propose that women make up major cabinet posts, for which they are not only qualified, but which they will carry out with great distinction and power.

Think of what these women could do in cabinet positions with real power.

• Elizabeth Warren
• Kamala Harris
• Hillary Clinton
• Tammy Duckworth
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
• Gretchen Whitmer
• Abigail Spanberger
And in a position to give holy f***ing hell to any and all morans and creeps,
• Jasmine Crockett
more, I am sure

What about their current important tasks?
They just prove the point.
And the decision is way above my pay grade.

Liberal Supreme Court Justices unfortunately excluded. We just need 6 more of them. (or more)w

Give them real power.
