Letter: Americans are ready for a female president, just not Harris or Clinton

I was told by a very leftist acquaintance on Facebook that I was a fool for voting against women presidential candidates.  In the most recent election I was told that I was a racist and hated women because I had expressed concern that President Biden promised to pick a Black woman as his running mate.

I found it disturbing that he selected race and gender boxes and didn’t look at the qualifications.

I couldn’t care less about race or gender.

I want a candidate who aligns with my values and viewpoints. If Condoleezza Rice had been running, she would have gotten my vote.

Kamala Harris? Not a chance.

Hillary Clinton? Nope.

This NYT article is lamenting the fact that Harris lost as a woman. No.  She lost because she was incompetent.  She was a weak leader with no track record, picked a useless running mate and didn’t relate to the majority of Americans.  That had nothing to do with her being a woman.  It was all about her being unprepared to wear the mantle of the leader of the free world.
