So we stopped electing men because Richard Nixon Was a horrible monster? He’d actually be a reasonable, moderate choice in the last crop of GOP nominees. Sure, Maggie was awful, but how does this translate to Hillary’s nom in 2016?

yep. funny that people would rather think we’re making it all up than admit sexism is real and systematic.

Yes, another step - a big one, but not the last one. I fear that people will be all like “the war is won” like they did when Obama won after she wins. No the battle will not be over, if anything it will draw out the most vile aspects of the right. Obama showed that being forced to face reality cause a significant…

I get chills thinking that a woman might be the first president my niece will have any memories of.

Oh god, here come the tears again.

If he’s smart, he won’t. She’s a really gifted debater.

57, and holy shit this makes me so fucking happy. As the post states, there simply is no perfect candidate and she beats the hell out of almost all the other options we’ve had.

SURE WILL! AS WILL YOU IF YOU DON’T VOTE FOR MIDTERM ELECTIONS! Don’t be ridiculous, the president isn’t a dictator. Did you fail your government class. If you vote for a bunch of congress that supports war then you will just as guilty.

I’m so excited to see her debate Trump. It’s going to be like when you watch an NBA player against some middle schooler at his basketball camp. That said, I’m terrified there will be a lot of folks who think the middle schooler actually won.

In no way empty symbolism. So many of the issues written about on this blog would not be a problem if only women were regarded as actual valued members of half of the human race.

Fuck that - Hillary’s “woman card” is an ace, and Donald’s “man card” is a 4 at best. She should be slapping the GOP’s faces with it daily.

So MUCH LOVE!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS is the America I know and LOVE!!!!!!! Thank you Democratic delegates!!!!!

I’m excited, I don’t care what the haters say. I never thought in my life time I’d 1) see a black president 2) hopefully see a woman president. I’m stoked because that woman had to be made of motherfucking steal to deal with all the bullshit she’s had to deal with, and whether you call her shillary or Hillary she’s…

When I was six years old, my mom showed me Geraldine Ferraro on TV and explained why it was so important that a woman had been nominated as Vice President. I grew up believing a woman would be president one day. And now that day is imminent, and I could not be prouder to be an American right now.

Now she just has to defeat the worst misogynist I’ve seen in my lifetime. No pressure. And somehow do it without playing “the woman card,” whatever that is.

Have to admit I teared up when the woman from the South Dakota delegation said “the first president to be called Madame President” while casting the decisive votes.

No YOU’RE crying.

So good to see us finally following in the footsteps of so many other nations who have already had women serving as heads of state.

Y’all, I am in tears over here. This moment is beautiful. My sister, my tiny new baby niece - they are living in a time when they could conceivably be president.
