On 4-25-23, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin offered Opinion | Tammy Baldwin has picked the lock on split-ticket voters, on the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
I appreciate the realistic view you take for politicians Ms. Rubin. Here you have recognized a politician who is smart, thoughtful, and communicative on the issues, not the usual type theater of answering a policy question with a question.
It is a shame on our electorate that too many don't want to acknowledge just how prepared and effective the potential of women would have in national leadership.
The concentration on single instances in their tenure that may be a mistake, (and usually blown out of proportion by social medias), are made into happenstances of incompetence while multiple, and I mean multiple, mistakes by male politicians are considered to have excuses like business as usual.
If we don't give more credit to what and how women in politics are improving the standards, (with the obvious exceptions of Palin and Green and their lot), we're missing a way of improving our own standard of governance.
