That makes sense because you are legitimately stupid but just for giggles let’s take a walk down memory lane and look at some of the geniuses in the last 100 years who have been elected and compare them to leaders during the first 120 years or so of the Republic since you are in fact very stupid: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams, Andrew Jackson, James Monroe, Abraham Lincoln, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson. Now, let’s compare that list to this list absolute statesmen: Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Bush 1, Bill Clinton, Bush 2, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden. The three exceptions to the rule during the female voting era are FDR, Eisenhower, and Reagan. Even the abject “failures” during the first 120 years of the Republic were considered as much because they died early in office or were tied to the Civil War but compared to the likes of Johnson, Kennedy, Carter, the Bush’s, Obama, Clinton, Trump, or Biden were Rhodes Scholars. Outside of the Civil War and the Vietnam Era nothing has caused more damage to this nation politically than women voting. The facts over the last 100 years politically speak for themselves. Look at many of the representatives, mayors, and governors that have been elected in that time span or judges appointed. It is an absolute disgrace

The thing is, we all grew up accepting the fact that women voting is fine and normal as none of us on TD were born before 1920.
But, this was not the case for at least 2,000 years (only going back to beginnings of Roman Empire as we know that the Roman men did vote but Roman women were prohibited).
So, this relative newfound “right” is very new and has had a profound impact on society.
Imagine an election where abortion was not the top issue for over half of the electorate. An election where the primary issues were taxes, immigration, etc. for the majority of voters.
Literally what would Biden run on without abortion? Abortion has been the key issue for democrats for at least the last 50 years…a full one-half the amount of time women have been able to vote.
