53% of white women voted for Trump. Your “America won’t vote for a woman” argument doesn’t hold water.
Americans won’t vote for specific women, sure. Namely Hillary Clinton, and Kamala Harris. The fact that they are women is not why they lost so cataclysmically; they ran platforms that were deeply unengaging to Democrat and Independent voters. Worse, they tried to appeal to Republicans, which only underscored how out-of-touch and unprepared they were to hold the office. Moreover, neither of those specific women, nor the DNC that backed them seems to have learned anything from their continual failures, which, again, only deepens the divide among Democrats’ necessary coalitions.
Their failures are a function of being bad at post-Obama politics, and bad at running for the highest office in the land. It’s not because they are women.
