Marita Vlachou at HuffPost:

When then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton conceded her defeat to President-elect Donald Trump in November 2016, she told her audience to keep one thing in mind. “I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but some day, someone will, and hopefully sooner than we might think right now,” Clinton said at the time. Eight years later, Vice President Kamala Harris assumed the Democratic nomination following President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the race, meaning another woman was within striking distance of finally winning the White House. However, that did not materialize. Trump won the race after securing 312 electoral votes while managing a clean sweep of the seven battleground states. Trump is also still on track to win the popular vote.

As Democrats continue to assess the reasons for the bitter loss, many wonder about the effect the result will have on future female presidential candidates. As opposed to Clinton in 2016, Harris did not emphasize the historic nature of her candidacy, choosing to not bring up her gender as part of this campaign. “I’m clearly a woman,” Harris told NBC News in October. “I don’t need to point that out to anyone.” Despite their different strategies, both lost to Trump, indicating a unique challenge for female candidates. “It is clear how much work we have to do, because you can’t win either way,” said Erin Loos Cutraro, the founder and CEO of She Should Run, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization focused on increasing the number of women considering running for office. “There isn’t a road map for this.” Despite the issue of crafting an effective message as a female candidate, Cutraro said it is undeniable that the U.S. would benefit from more female representation.

[...] Prior to her presidential run, Harris made history on several fronts in 2020 when she became vice president as the first woman, first Black person and first Asian American to be elected to the role. And before Harris, the late Rep. Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to be elected to Congress, made history in 1972, becoming the first female candidate to run for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination as well as the first Black candidate to seek any of the two major parties’ nods. Glynda C. Carr, the president and co-founder of Higher Heights, an organization that works to elect Black women, told The Guardian that Chisholm set an example by having “the audacity to run for president all the way to the convention” as a Black woman.

Kamala Harris’s loss to Donald Trump could provide future clues on how a woman candidate can succeed as President.

November Wrap Up--

I was surprised when I went to take this month’s wrap up photo and realized that most of the things I read were eBooks and eARCs. I was able to read a bit more than I thought I would this month which I know can’t last going forward. My favorite thing I read was probably Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson which I was so lucky to get in eARC form.

Comics/Graphic Novels-- 1. Skyward Vol. 1: My Low-G Life by Joe Henderson-- 3.5 stars.

Novellas/Short Stories-- 1. His Curvy Friend by Mary E. Thompson (Kindle)-- 1.5 stars.

2. Stupid Love by Tara Wyatt (Kindle)-- 2 stars.

Novels-- 1. An Unkindness of Magicians by Kat Howard (Kindle)-- 3.5 stars.

2. The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson-- 4 stars (original rating).

3. Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson (NetGalley)-- 4.25 stars.

4. Half-Blood Prince-- 5 stars (original rating).

5. It takes Heart by Tif Marcello (Kindle)-- 2 stars.

6. The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson-- 2.5 stars.

7. Unraveling Eleven by Jerri Chisholm (Kindle)-- 3 stars (original rating).

8. Fling by Adriana Locke (Kindle)-- 2 stars.

9. Across the Universe by Beth Revis-- 2.5 stars.

Overall, my ratings for the month average out to 2.98 stars. Which is definitely the worst my average ratings have been for any given month. But I did clear out a lot of my eBooks/eARCs. So, at least there’s that?

Miami Marlins-Minnesota Twins Series Preview

9.24.24-Ryan Weathers LHP (3-6) 3.94 ERA Vs. Bailey Ober RHP (12-7) 3.84 ERA

9.25.24-Edward Cabrera RHP (5-8) 4.12 ERA Vs. Simeon Woods Richardson RHP (5-5) 4.00 ERA

9.26.24-Valente Bellozo RHP (3-4) 4.82 ERA Vs. David Festa RHP (2-6) 4.80 ERA

The Marlins At A Glance- The Marlins are in the middle of a rough season and Skip Schumaker won't be back. The team announced that they would not extend this contract beyond this season. The Marlins will exceed 100 losses for the first time since 2019. The team traded Luis Arraez away early and sent some bullpen arms to other teams at the trade deadline. Jazz Chisholm was also traded to the Yankees. Jake Burger leads the offense with twenty-eight homers and sixty-nine RBI. Xavier Edwards has played well with a .311 average through sixty-four games. The team consists of a lot of young guys, who are getting their chance. Griffin Conine is hitting .238 and is the son of longtime MLB player Jeff Conine. The Marlins starting rotation has a 5.35 ERA, which is second-worst in baseball behind the Rockies. The Twins will see Ryan Weathers on Tuesday, who is a big pitching prospect of theirs. The bullpen is a little better with a 4.27 ERA. JT Chargois is on the Mariners now, Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing were traded to the Padres, AJ Puk was traded to the Diamondbacks, and Trevor Rogers is on the Orioles now. Calvin Faucher is the closer with six saves.

The Twins At A Glance- The Twins can only blame themselves for their demise. They didn't get depth during the trade deadline and injuries to Joe Ryan, Chris Paddack, and Brock Stewart have piled up. The Twins are (11-22) in their past thirty-three games and are lucky that the Royals are on another seven-game losing streak or else they would be out of the American League Wild-Card race. They sit a game behind the Tigers for the final playoff spot. Kyle Farmer has been the hottest hitter with a .395 average in September. Carlos Correa has knocked in five runs since his return. Matt Wallner has three homers and ten RBI this month. Max Kepler took live batting practice on Monday and it's unknown on if he'll be back. He didn't play in any rehab assignment games for the Saints and now their season is over. The pitching has been decent at times, but do not get enough run support. Scott Blewett has allowed just two runs over 16 2/3 innings of work since his call-up. He finally received a higher leverage inning in the extra inning game on Friday night. I'd expect Griffin Jax and Jhoan Duran to be used heavliy in this series given that they've had three days off.

What To Watch For- The Twins are (10-9) all-time against the Marlins. The Marlins took two of three games from the Twins early in the 2023 season at loanDepot Park. The Twins won the prior series in 2019, which was also in Miami. The Marlins haven't been to Minnesota since 2016, when they lost two out of three games. None of the six scheduled starters have faced their opponent before. The Tigers get three with the Rays this week and the Royals get three against the Nationals in DC this week. The Twins need to win and get a little help to stay in this Wild-Card race.

Kamala Harris is a strong candidate, but we still need to help her stand tall

Kamala Harris’s life as vice president took a 180-degree turn in 24 hours: She went from stumping for President Joe Biden in Provincetown, an LGBTQ+ culture hub and haven, on Saturday, July 20 to becoming a potential presidential nominee on Sunday, July 21,  when the news broke of Biden leaving the race.  The crowd at the Biden Victory Fund event at the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum last Saturday showed their enthusiasm about a possible November win for the Biden-Harris ticket. As the keynote speaker, Harris was wildly welcomed to P-town with placards that read “VP-Town!” The entire Biden team at the event was on message — however, most attendees hoped Biden would exit the race. Related The Democrats are quickly unifying behind Kamala Harris as their presidential choice Democrats are quickly shaking off the paralysis of Biden’s failing campaign and getting excited about his VP’s chances. So when the news hit that Harris was now a potential presidential nominee for the head of the ticket, enthusiasm swelled. Both the Black and Asian American Caucuses immediately endorsed her. Within 30 minutes of her announcement, One Silicon Valley,  a software engineering consulting firm, raised more than $1 million for her candidacy. Dive deeper every day Join our newsletter for thought-provoking commentary that goes beyond the surface of LGBTQ+ issues Subscribe to our Newsletter today Hours later, a national Zoom call from the D.C.-based Black women’s organization #WinWithBlackWomen — a national intergenerational and intersectional sisterhood of black diasporic women who leverage talent, influence, and networks to support Black women — had over 40,000 sistahs in attendance. In three hours, these women raised over $1 million to support Harris, which TV personality Star Jones, the campaign chair, spearheaded.  It’s not easy being one of the first Black women running for president When I heard the news of Harris running for president, I immediately thought about how my deceased Brooklyn Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm would be proud of this moment. Chisholm was the first African American woman to campaign for the presidential nomination in 1972 on the Democratic ticket. A woman of temerity and integrity, her slogan was “Unbought and Unbossed.”  Confronted with racist and sexist opposition, Chisholm lost the nomination. In 2024, similar concerns arise for Harris, too.  When news broke that Kamala was in the race for the White House, Black Twitter was abuzz with exuberance and trepidation.” Much of Black Twitter is on board with Kamala as a candidate, but unsure if America feels the same way, the Black media outlet The Root reported.  “Okay, so now it’s Kamala. Every white person who wanted him to drop out needs to figure out how to defend a Black woman in person and online for the first time in their lives. That’s the job now. I’d like to see it, but I never have,” comedian and podcaster Akilah Hughes wrote on Twitter.  Okay so now it’s Kamala. I think—AGAIN—every white person who wanted him to drop out needs to figure out how to defend a Black woman in person and online for the first time in their lives. That’s the job now. I’d like to see it, but I never have. https://t.co/CMukwoDb2X— Akilah Hughes (@AkilahObviously) July 21, 2024 Prominent Democratic donor John Morgan of Florida emphatically stated he would not fundraise for Harris. “She would not be my first choice,” Morgan said in The Hill. “The donors holding the 90 million can release those funds in the morning. It’s all yours. You can keep my million. And good luck,” he continued. Striking the right balance with white Americans is difficult — for both Republican and Democrat politicians — in this polarized era, especially for a woman of color in power who identifies as black. The “angry black woman” trope hovers over all sisters of African descent. Harris is attacked for her laugh. She runs the risk of being perceived as too loud, too forceful, not knowing her… http://dlvr.it/TB2XRB
