1. As much as I'd like to see 2 women on the ticket, one step at a time, folks, lets get one elected.

The US is still very much biased against women. never forget that. An all female ticket may be just the gift the GOP would play on with great happiness.

I think both women are remarkable. But I want to see what kind of campaigners they are.

All the old excuses can go right out the window. The 1950’s are ancient history fellas.

That would be a fantastic ticket for America.

5. 2 white males on the ticket is seen as the norm.

Even if both of the white males are morons like Trump and Pence.

YES!!!!!! That would be a KICK ASS ticket.

What a dream team that would be. Plus MORE women in both Houses of Congress under the Democratic Party banner. Things will get done for sure and for the better!

9. Sorry, that's not a very convincing way to sell this ticket.

No one questions when there are two men on the ticket.
Sorry, that's not a very convincing way to sell this ticket. Are you suggesting that nobody should question this fantasy ticket because you've paired-up two women?

Aside from that. Neither one of them appeal to me. I'm looking for something different. Something better.

11. No. If a man chose another man, no one questions that.

So, why can't a female nominee select another female nominee.

10. Harris/Beto maybe, or Warren/Castro has a nice ring.

Both of those combinations represent huge swaths of our base.

I was going to add on to my previous sentence with this: "...and represent what is and will be the on-the-ground reality in 2020—an all male or all female ticket won't fly."

Then I thought about it and realized I wouldn't be against a Booker/Brown or Beto/Ojeda ticket either (google Richard Ojeda if you haven't heard of him), and then there is Andrew Yang who is as progressive as they come.

It's gonna be complicated, folks, and we're going to have to come to terms with and understand that the misogyny that played a big part in the 2016 election is still there and do we want to give the repugs that big a cudgel to wield against us if we run an all-female ticket?
