WASHINGTON (AP) — The concern has been there all along, but now it’s being
talked about openly: Are some men reluctant to vote for Democrat Kamala Harris because she’s a woman?
The vice president rarely references her gender on the campaign trail, but her key supporters are starting to make more direct appeals to male voters, hoping to overcome ingrained sexism — or just plain apathy — as Election Day
looms.
Former President Barack Obama said he was speaking to Black men in particular when he suggested some “aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.” Actor Ed O’Neill implores in a new ad, “Be a man: Vote for a
woman.” And Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is helping lead “
Hombres con Harris ” — “Men with Harris” — to help energize Hispanic male
voters.
“I think, in many ways, it’s other people who need to be the messenger,” said
Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women in Politics at Rutgers University. She added of appeals to men by the vice president, “I don’t think she can get up and say, ”Shame on you.”’
“It’s sad, but I think she needs these outside validators,” Walsh said.

It is difficult to change the mind-set of a man when he is convinced that a woman is incapable of doing a job as well as a man. This is not limited to Black people
There are biological differences between women and men, which make men
better candidates for highly competitive leadership roles

Out of how many? ;) I think that proves my point. Shall we have a look at >generals? Presidents? Men are by nature less emotional and more prone to
do what ever it takes to reach their goal.
Women are more caring, which is not an asset in a fight.

Merkel was a total disaster

Historically in US, females were mostly domestics until sometime after
WWII. Males were the breadwinners, and females staid home, to tend to
the children, meals, etc.
Also, when females did work, they were paid low wages.
Merkel was a total disaster
Unknown, but I suspect business interest had their fingers involved.
It works that way in the US....
Putin fears Trump
Bullshit....
Merkel grew up in East Germany before reunification.
It is hardly surprising that she was kindly disposed towards Russia,
even to the extent of making Germany almost totally dependent on
Russia for its energy.
Putin fears Trump

Putin bromance has US intelligence officials fearing second Trump term
Ex-president's support for the Russian strongman has experts fretting
over American interests and security sources overseas
Donald Trump's continuing lavish praise and support for Vladimir Putin
are fueling alarm among former intelligence officials and other
experts who fear another Trump presidency would benefit Moscow and
harm American democracy and interests overseas.

Those are a few, now compared that with the nr of male leaders
historically, and you'll see that they are very, very few. Merkel was a
total disaster and we have her to thank for Russias current war in
Ukraine, so that proves what happens when a woman leads.
There is a reason why Putin fears Trump and laughs at Merkel.
Remember that Merkel grew up in East Germany before reunification.
It is hardly surprising that she was kindly disposed towards Russia,
even to the extent of making Germany almost totally dependent on
Russia for its energy. As a result, Germany cannot be relied on to
stand up to bully-boy Putin. Was she a fifth-columnist? You decide.

Trump is in deep financial waters, and would cut a deal with Putin to
end US support for Ukraine. Putin holds the purse strings...not
Trump.
Trump and family have enriched themselves when Trump was POTUS

Same MO...with no morals
During a call on Jan. 2, 2021, former President Trump asked Georgia
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to help him "find 11,780
votes" and overturn the state's 2020 election results in his favor.

On the other side, you can have a look at the democrats.
This is incorrect. Trump is a successful business man
Who was Chancellor when the decision to shut down German
nuclear power generation was taken on 30 June 2011?

Oh, they are the same as us logic...since it makes no difference, then
man-up and vote for the Democrats...
Ahh, but let me counter!
Therefore we can learn than any potential bankruptcy dealings was
business strategy

Oh, Trump deep-sixed the Taj Mahal
Btw, bankruptcy is a consumer or business strategy when the
money pooch has been screwed.
For rich crooks bankruptcy is just another way of legally not
paying people the money they're owed. It's a swindle!

Trump did not attend Thursday's oral argument, but his lawyers are
seeking to overturn the judgment levied by state Judge Arthur Engoron
in February, who found that Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric
Trump, and his business liable for fraud, as well as issuing false
financial statements and false business records.

I know, or knew, a businessman who claimed bankruptcy, it went
through the courts and everything... yet he still had more money
afterwards than I'll ever earn in my life. He'd squirrelled his
money away in the years before the "bankruptcy".
