let alone do so twice. Yet here we are.

However, each demographic group faces its unique challenges and perceptions in the political landscape. Especially today with anti semitism on the rise across the nation. It's important to acknowledge and address these nuances when discussing the potential for diverse representation in the highest office.

It's a complex issue, isn't it?

(who I just found out had a real last name of "Shapiro" ) was elected the first Jewish governor of PA (in the '70s). He was later followed by Ed Rendell (in the 2000s), and now Josh Shapiro (in the 2020s).

So it also has to do with the circumstances of the moment and how dynamic that person is, at least enough to be able to capture a majority of the constituency willing to put the bigoted crap aside.

It's who we are. USA! USA! USA!

And ironically about the a-hole known as Donald J Trump. Stranger things have happened. American voters are full of surprises.

then it wasn't even an issue when we got Biden as our second Irish Catholic president.

Hardly anyone knows America elected an indigenous VP in the 1920s, Charles Curtis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Curtis

Spiro Agnew being a Greek child of immigrants was seen as a favorable thing that helped Nixon back in 1968.

Our 2 woman presidential candidates did surprisingly well against the orange menace. I still think we can elect a woman president under the right circumstances.

Biden was actually also able to get in with a woman (black/South Asian) on the ticket as a VP.

I never ever thought I'd see the day!!!!

Such things are unlikely to happen again in my lifetime. The pendulum will continue to swing toward in the wrong direction with more bigotry, racism, anti semitism, misogyny, and homophobia.

Past performance is no guarantee of future success (as they say) and we're clearly in a backward slide. It will take a lot more than "if we did it with Obama and Kennedy then we can do it again".

I have very little faith in my "fellow Americans".

Not like Newsom who can float lofty ideas and voters respond. Totally different electorate in the two states.

if our party wants a white man so badly, might as well make history with a Jewish one from a major swing state who speaks in a similar style as Barack Obama.

I would have confidently bet against Obama winning his first race, and against Mr. trump winning either of his. Clearly my expectations didn’t match what happened.

I remain hesitant to claim certainties... in an organic culture, some things regress while others simultaneously move forward.

That said, he's a guy I'm gonna keep my eyes on.

Donnie Dipshit doesn't give a rats-ass about anyone not named Donnie Dipshit!

The fucking media put his ass out there.

He's nothing but a media-creation.

He has no values.
He has no honor.
He has no ethics.
He has no integrity.
He stands for NOTHING!
He believes NOTHING!

He fucking turned his back on humanity the very second he was spawned.

I don't get it!
