It’s time to man up

It’s time for the guys out there to man up and vote for a woman.

There’s been a ton of chatter suggesting that voting for a woman isn’t “masculine”. Rubbish. Is it masculine to support a pathological liar?

Is is masculine to whine incessantly like Trump, or to fail to accept responsibility for one’s actions? Does a real man secretly make deals with Putin, our enemy, as Trump does? Does a real man ridicule handicapped people and demonize minorities? Doesn’t a real man have integrity, honesty, and humility? Doesn’t a real man put the country before himself? Doesn’t a real man help others?

Trump has none of these virtues. Doesn’t a real man respect women and support their health care?

Face it guys, Trump is a cowardly, mean spirited, liar who will sell out his country, and his supporters in a heartbeat if he thought it was to his financial and political advantage. He even lied about hurricane relief in an effort to make FEMA look bad. It’s time to man up and vote for a woman, Kamala Harris.

It’s time to put our country before false notions of masculinity, as Dick Cheney and many other Republicans have done, and vote for Kamala Harris. You’ll be proud of yourself for doing so.
