a little fancy
Every now and then, I entertain myself with a little fancy. What would happen if the ONLY two big Presidential candidates running were women? Or what if both were gay? What if both were still straight, affluent men, but one was Jewish and the other atheist? What if both were poor? What if neither were white? In other words, what if of the candidates offered, there were NONE which could appeal to the usual sexism, racism, classism or homophobia? Of course, these truly ARE flights of fancy in our culture, and for obvious reasons many people strangely seem never to consider.
