This defeatist, placatory attitude will ensure that we never make any progress.

No one has ever been VP for FOUR TERMS, but that's the hypothetical bar you set for her, because you assume that's what it would take? Leaving aside that it's an impossible ask anyways, being VP for 4 terms isn't going to satisfy the "old fat white guys" anyways.

Are misogynists gonna demand more of her? Yeah, of course. But don't go setting the bar higher on their behalf, before they even say anything!
