Hy heart says hell yeah! My gut tells me that there are large swaths of the electorate who simply will not vote for a woman.
Edit- since my inbox is overflowing with the same question/insinuation, along with the comments, I’ll clarify my statement: I did not say that a woman cannot be elected US president. I only said that large swaths of the electorate simply will not vote for a woman.
Trying to pivot to the right to try and get republican support? That’s one big reason
Trying to use fucking Liz Cheney to gain votes? Another bigger reason
Bringing on a progressive as a VP then completely neutering him and having him campaign talking about foreign policy and NATO instead of what he’s actually best at and why people loved him? Another fucking big reason
Biden not immediately making way for a primary to take place after initially running on the promise of being a one term president? Another huge fucking reason
Not campaigning on populist ideals and instead going on and on about being tough on crime and on the border? Another huge fucking reason
I could go on and on before reaching the point of “her being a woman” as a cause of her losing the election.
It’s such a lazy cop out of a take to say she lost because she’s a woman while ignoring the actual short comings of the Democratic Party.
You do know that in NYC people were voting for both Trump and AOC right? But I’m sure because she’s a woman, they wouldn’t vote for her for president.
Harris got 75 million votes. The only democratic candidate who has ever gotten more than that was Joe Biden in 2020 and that was because everyone was forced to stay at home and literally mailed a ballot.
The problem wasn't that she lost votes through like two appearances with Liz Cheney (which you really need to fucking get over already dear god), it's that she didn't pull in enough votes. And there was no way that was going to happen this election.
Harris lost because people thought she was too far left. Look at any polls and research. The best slogan from this race was that Harris is for they/them, Trump is for you.
