Margaret Thatcher vs Kamala Harris

[August1991]

In 1975, many men opposed Thatcher as Conservative leader.

In 1979, they voted for her and then re-elected her.

Men voted for Golda Meir. They voted for Indira Gandhi.is

IMHO, these claims of a glass ceiling in politics are false.

===

Politics is a contact sport: each player has their own style, successful or not.

Harris is no Thatcher. And Trump is no Carter.

They didn’t vote for Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meir.  They were Prime Ministers, and elected by the elected members of Parliament. It’s closer to Nancy Pelosi.

There are very strong woman who could pull off an election win over Trump. Thatcher was one of them. Sadly, I don't believe Harris will. She was as weak of a Presidential choice as Hilary Clinton.

This I can see being very possible. Instead the Democrats shot themselves in the foot.

The elected representatives vote for one of their members to be their leader.  Am I describing the selection of Prime Minister or Speaker of the House?

Speaker of the house. You are absolutely NOT speaking about the prime minister. 

First the leader of the party in Canada is chosen by vote of the members of that party, NOT the elected reps.

Second, the GG invites a party to form gov't, and the person who is already elected leader by the party MEMBERS is automaticlly prime minister  IF HE WINS THE CONFIDENCE OF THE HOUSE, which means the whole house and not just his party must vote to keep him (by majority vote). 

So i don't know what you were thinking but it's entirely different.

Kamala Harris is a very weak candidate and not of presidential material at all. 

However, the way the demographics go the Democrats can easily afford to lose this election as in the future it will be almost impossible for the Republicans to win any federal elections.

 

The much better Democrats than Harris are rubbing their hands waiting for 2028.

You do realize more people identify as Republican than Democrat right? JD Vance will be in the wings and will be a much much better candidate. A lot of this depends on the state of the nation come 2028, if the economy is good then Vance wins in a walk.

Demographics aren't shifting in Democrats favor because we are seeing shifts in minority voting to be more in the Republican camp.

And yet she still handily WON the popular vote over Trump; which makes HIM WEAKER.

In 2024, he STILL FAILED to win the majority of votes cast.

Holy crap even the Daily Beast says more people identify as Republicans.

Those facts are based on registration and not identity. Just like you believe sex and gender are different being registered and identifying as a Party member is different.

Talk about someone with no FACTS and doesn't cite anything.

Here you go Robosoreloser.

Not sure where you pulled that "fact" from, I suppose you didn't bother to read the articles, Trump fell below 50% but Kamalas is still down 2 million votes from him.

There's a glass ceiling, but it only stops worthless id10ts from getting through.

I'm sure that if Tulsi Gabbard puts together a solid 4 years here she can be a strong contender for the GOP nomination. 

Wouldn't that be nice? Just imagine if she lost in the DNC primary the year that Biden won, and then she wins the GOP primary 8 yrs later 😎

Go Tulsi! 🎵Go Tulsi! 🎶 Go Tulsi! 🎵
