Okay so when Mamdani has a cordial meeting with Trump everyone is fine with it??
Which surprises me because I remember when Whitmer got heavily criticized for meeting with Trump in the Oval Office...
One set of rules for men, another for women in politics, I guess... The same as it ever was.

Republicans are the kind of gang even an American cop can love. I know this because American cops support him, never arrest him, and all wear a tramp stamp of his angry face tattooed on their hearts.

"When we see Democrats like Newsom and Whitmer... semi-genuflecting before the Trump throne... when the fascist regime has made its intentions clear... [W]e see people who have sucked on the crack-pipe of realpolitik for so long that... they have lost touch with everyday morality. They believe in nothing except political survival... Any principles beyond those have atrophied into invisibility."

Group says Michigan is at the cusp of achieving gender parity with women in elected office • Michigan Advance
Michigan ranks third in the country for the state with the best gender parity for women in elected office, according to rankings from RepresentWomen, a non-profit organization tracking gender representation in elected office in the U.S.
With a 49.5 out of 100 score, Michigan is at the edge of gender parity. The two states that outrank Michigan, Wisconsin and Maine, have achieved gender parity with Wisconsin scoring 51.8 and Maine scoring 54.1 this year.
Michigan has never strayed far from the top ten states since RepresentWomen began compiling its annual Gender Parity Index in 2013, but since the 2018 election when women were elected to lead all three of Michigan’s statewide executive offices, the state has been inching towards parity.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan’s second ever female governor, often speaks on workforce and educational opportunities for women in the state, embracing a “wear pink, get sh*t done” mentality to femininity in politics.
Last summer when the “Barbie” movie was coming out, Whitmer’s office came out with an unofficial “Governor Barbie” calling for empowerment for children and women to seek out their dream jobs and roles.
“Together, we work to create spaces and structures that empower women to show up as they are and allow them [to] lead from the front,” Whitmer posted on “X” in July of 2023.

Ms. Harris is seeking to select a running mate on a highly compressed timeline,
aiming to make her choice by Aug. 7
— a little more than two weeks after she entered the race to replace President Biden on the Democratic ticket.Besides Mr. Cooper, those known to be under serious consideration include Gov. Josh #Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gov. Tim #Walz of Minnesota, Gov. Andy #Beshear of Kentucky, Senator Mark #Kelly of Arizona and the transportation secretary, Pete #Buttigieg.
The remaining leading candidates are all white men. All except Mr. Buttigieg have a history of electoral success in politically divided states.
Mr. Beshear was elected twice in deep-red Kentucky,
Mr. Walz represented a conservative House district before being elected governor,
Mr. Shapiro won his attorney general race in 2016 when Mr. Trump carried Pennsylvania and
Mr. Kelly has won Arizona twice in the last four years.Mr. Shapiro on Monday campaigned for Ms. Harris in the Philadelphia suburbs with Gov. Gretchen #Whitmer of Michigan, who may have been a vice-presidential contender had she not taken herself out of the running last week.
Two people with knowledge of the vice-presidential vetting process said
the list had been narrowed to five,
though the Harris campaign has vetted a dozen potential running mates.They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the private deliberations.
The only other vice-presidential contender known to have withdrawn from the process is Adm. William H. #McRaven, the former commander of the United States Special Operations Command, who publicly took himself out of consideration last week.
Ms. Harris’s vetting process began last week and is expected to run through this weekend.
She has yet to meet in person with any of the potential running mates.
The initial candidate interviews with members of her campaign staff have begun over video calls.
Several of those contenders have been campaigning publicly
— and thus auditioning
— for Ms. Harris in recent days.Mr. Buttigieg appeared on Fox News over the weekend and is set to appear on “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart on Monday night.
Mr. Walz has been a regular on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News
— and even had a profile in the magazine Runner’s World.Mr. Beshear campaigned in Georgia.

2022 is going to go down as one of the most consequential elections in Michigan's history.
Not just for the major overhaul to our electoral system or the generational infrastructure we have been able to roll out (obviously related to the 2020 election too), but all of these little things too that are just changing the structure of Michigan.
We will be feeling these effects for decades.

T•••• team polarizing race by gender. #Kamala should pick #Whitmer, run on abortion and seize this big juicy opportunity with both hands. Though not like T•••• would, that’s another gender wedge :) https://puck.news/jd-vance-honeymoon-is-over/

Shame.
Smart, young swing-state woman leading a big administrative office with good media composure and sales skills.
A dream ticket, really, for campaigning against Trump/Vance.

With #Whitmer out, and #AOC, #Abrams, and #Porter all very unlikely choices, which woman would be a strong #VP choice for #Harris?
I don't think any man would be as overwhelmingly energizing as a woman for the position.
A two woman ticket would be mind blowing, in the very best way, if it's the "right" woman, not a neoliberal or conservative.

#Buttigieg is my preferred candidate, but #Harris-#Whitmer has some appeal in terms of getting people excited, which we need.
