Starting to feel as if the argument that 4 month isn’t enough time for a party to effectively pull off a presidential campaign actually means 4 months isn’t enough time for the media to effectively sell a bullshit narrative that solidifies false equivalencies in the public mind.
They spent all this time simmering the Biden is Old saucepan and suddenly whoops-a-daisy! and now Republicans are running around as confused as ants in a freshly kicked hill, some screaming “SHE’S A CHILDLESS TROLLOP AND SHE’S BLAAAACK”, others screaming “SHE LAUGHS TO MUCH!”

The biased media narrative is familiar to any woman in the workplace.

"The women leaders in our study were considered too young or too old. They were too short or too tall, too pretty or too unattractive or too heavy. They had too much education or not enough or their degrees were not from the “right” schools. They suffered from disrespect and misperceptions due to race, color, or ethnicity.

@Npars01 I have experienced all that. Concerning divorce, I feel in certain circles, people perceive something wrong with me because I am so (which is funny because I chose it). Those same people seem to breathe a sigh of relief when my ex husband comes along (e.g., at my child’s event because we co-parent)— as if somehow the man validates me or makes me whole.
