Younger men threw their support behind Donald Trump in 2024 after favoring Biden in 2020

The United States is still not ready for a female president after more than a century of unsuccessful campaigns for the White House, according to former First Lady Michelle Obama.

“As we saw in this past election, sadly, we ain’t ready,” Obama said earlier this month in a live conversation with actor Tracee Ellis Ross that was published Friday.

“That’s why I’m like, don’t even look at me about running, because you all are lying,” she said. “You’re not ready for a woman. You are not. So don’t waste my time.”

    Running anyone is a gamble

    The fact that you believe any candidate is an equal gamble indicates you are not taking this conversation seriously.

    I can’t take someone seriously that tries to equalize all things. That is not reality and you are not living in it.

    It is less of a gamble to run a white male and you fucking know it. I could care less for your contrarianism.

    Any unnecessary gamble while literal fascists are trying to end our democracy is a fucking disgrace and anyone engaging in such a gamble is a fool.
