I didn't even realize title was a contentious thing, I've always just assumed it would be "first gentleman" because nothing else makes any sense. Though FGOTUS is horrible... horrible...

I think "First Gentleman" is the most directly equivalent to "Lady", but ideally we could just find a gender-neutral title and use that for everyone.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:That's an interesting question. If we were starting this country from scratch right here in 2016, how would we set up the ceremonial aspects of the executive branch? I've always assumed the whole First Lady thing was intended to make it clear to foreign monarchs that she was on the same social level as them. We can hate classism as much as we want but the dickishness of nobility is still something to factor into diplomacy. What if the next President was widowed, or never even married? Would America fade into a footnote of history?

Duscat posted:What if the next President was widowed, or never even married? Would America fade into a footnote of history? Like Pakled already said, historically a female relative of the President has taken on the role. Or in the case of President Shepherd, after his wife's passing I believe high-ranking female staffers rotated duties until his remarriage to that lobbyist.

Seriously though, a transit strike is pretty much a perfect test of GOTV. It would certainly depress turnout across the board (in places where polling places aren't walkable, anyway), but would disproportionately affect low-income people who don't drive to polling places. A competent field operation would start organizing asap, getting voters to carpool to polling places, getting volunteers to ferry people to voting places, hiring buses and minibuses and vans to drive voters for the entire day. A really great field operation would probably already be planning to sink extra money into Philadelphia to try and compensate, bringing in cars and buses from out of town ahead of time so you can make sure to still get all your voters to the polls (and to their jobs), and stepping up early voting drives to ease the load on election day. An incompetent field operation would say "gently caress it, they'll sort it out" and not change anything about what they were doing. If Philadelphia stood alone and Clinton's GOTV is as much better than Trump's as we've heard, if anything a transit strike could actually increase her victory as her GOTV operation still gets all her supporters to the polls but Trump's doesn't, leaving his low-income supporters at home on election day. Unfortunately Philadelphia isn't a city-state and Clinton's GOTV can't be that impossibly perfect so it would inevitably mean reducing the number of Philadelphia votes and strengthening the rest of Pennsylvania, which is pretty deep red. vyelkin fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Nov 1, 2016 |

People have to get to and from work. If their transit time is longer than usual, they will not make time to vote. It's a pretty scary situation imo.

I mean, obviously we dont take titles very seriously in america, but surely whatever a male husband of the president is called, slick willie still gets to be called "President" or at least "Former President" i would assume.

I get that, racial identity in post-colonial Latin America was a big part of my undergrad research, but even taking that into account I still can't see it reaching 85%. Like 60 ok, MAYBE 70, but 85? Not buying it.
