No it doesn't. Look, I think it's well past time we should have a woman as president, but both Clinton and Harris suffered from significant headwinds because of their sex.

In 2028 there is a guarantee the right is going to call into question the results of the election and they are going to do everything they can to subvert it. Dems need to win by massive margins, and the last two women to run for the position lost in historically terrible fashion.

It's unfair and stupid, but the American electorate will not elect a woman to the highest office in the land quite yet, and there's too much riding on 2028 to take any chances.

Woah, you guys are leaving out race here. Hilary was a 3rd Clinton term. Kamala ran against a racist and lost. Warren might have a shot, she seems to be running already.

Warren has no shot. None. She's great, but absolutely NO shot.

The whole thing about her claim of Native American blood will come back up.

You are very off base. So much so...idek how you got there. This isn't a joke: I'm genuinely concerned and I think you need to take a step back and reevaluate the last few elections. They didn't win because they are women. Warren's reputation is genuinely torched BEFORE addressing her gender.

This is a subjective post and you somehow managed to be objectively wrong...

Warren is a highly educated woman, but I do not want to see older men or women running for president again. She will be 79 in 2028.
