    I mean the Democrats can keep running women candidates, but it’s really not working at all. It’s mind boggling that people chose Trump over a woman again, but here we are. America has a severe daddy complex going on.

      Hillary won the popular vote. While America does have a sexism problem, I don’t think being a woman is why they lost. They lost because they were terrible candidates who were completely out of touch with what Americans want.

      I don’t think we’ve had enough women running in presidential elections to draw that conclusion. Sexism isn’t stopping women from winning congressional or mayoral seats. I suspect the women we’ve seen lose the presidential race have lost for the same reasons so many men have.

        The observable fact is that women have lost to a complete monster twice. People prefer Trump to a woman. I get Hillary a bit, but after Trumps first term, any warm body would do compared to this complete shit show.

        It’s an observable fact. The Democrats have lost when they have ran a woman against a monster.

          You’re begging the question. We are aware that they lost to Trump both times they ran a woman. I think that if they had ran a woman instead of Biden, and men instead of the women that ran, we’d’ve observed the same result.

          you seem to have forgotten that they were plural. kamala and hillary. thanks for the tip about capitalization though, i’ll keep that in mind.

          (respond and i’ll use proper grammar on my next 10 comments.)
