Is this DEI?

Not necessarily, though it may depend on your interpretation of D.E.I.

The 2028 Gentleman’s Agreement is only promoting HIGHLY QUALIFIED, FEMALE candidates to run for the United States Presidency in 2028.

This movement is about togetherness and support. It is about unity over division.

It is about standing up and doing something selfless for one, singular election because history has shown that a female victory for the highest office may require a heightened level of unity and commitment.

Breaking that status quo can be hard, and sometimes it requires and extra push.

And remember, this is for ONE election, ONE time. Then we can go back to our usual chaos.
