Minnesota has an all female ticket in the governor's race.

Maye Quade, who is an out lesbian woman of color, was the only candidate in 2016 who flipped a state house district from red to blue.

Rep. Erin Murphy has chosen Rep. Erin Maye Quade as her running mate in her campaign for governor.

3. True, but I'll take a Dem woman over any Repub...

6. Who said that it did?

Do you think that political representation that includes qualified people who are marginalized is bad?

[Blue_true]

8. No. That is not what I stated.

It does not matter to me one bit that a ticket is all female, the two women appear to be very capable.

The point that some should have gotten from what I wrote is that the operating assumption in our society is that males are more competent and that an all female leadership team in any endeavor will have some issue, which is a bullshit assumption. Maybe I should have added another sentence to expand on my thinking.

9. Thanks for the clarification.

I may have been hasty in my interpretation of your post.

10. I should have expanded on my thought process with one or two more sentences.

I see how you could have been offended given just the one line without expansion on the thought.
