Women Are the Majority. Now Let's Build a Democracy That Knows It. by LaTosha Brown

When former First Lady Michelle Obama shared on the Call Her Daddy podcast that the nation was not ready for a woman president, I understood what question was really being asked.

This question positions the country as judge and women as the ones awaiting the verdict. It treats our leadership as something the culture must decide it is comfortable with before we are permitted to exercise it. I refuse that premise entirely.

Here is the question I want to ask: When has this nation ever been without us? When has it flourished without our labor, our vision, our sacrifice, our love?

… Kamala Harris’ candidacy was not a defeat. It exposed again, with absolute clarity, that even excellence, even historic qualification, even the full-throated support of millions is not sufficient to overcome a system structurally tilted against our full participation.
America has always had women. The question was never whether we were ready for women to lead. The question is whether this democracy is finally, after 250 years, going to be built to reflect that truth.

Women are the majority of this nation. We are more than half the voters, more than half the population, and we are grotesquely underrepresented in both chambers of power in Congress. That is not an accident. That is architecture.

Two hundred and fifty years since the founding of this republic, women hold roughly 28 percent of seats in Congress. We have never had a woman president.

We came closer than ever for a second time in 2024, and I want every person reading this to hear it clearly: Kamala Harris’ candidacy was not a defeat. It exposed again, with absolute clarity, that even excellence, even historic qualification, even the full-throated support of millions is not sufficient to overcome a system structurally tilted against our full participation.

1. The poorer class is the VAST majority

Let's take the power back from the rich.

"What minority is destroying America?"

"The rich"

2. Okay

And how much of the "majority" are MAGA women?

Look at Noem, Bondi, Blackburn, Foxx, Luna, and many more! MAGA women want to be trad wives, submit to their husbands, they want to revoke the 19th Amendment...they love Trump and hate everything that even resembles the democratic process!


MAGA women are perfectly happy getting the scraps that fall from the table...because it convinces them that they're part of the clique!
