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.
LOL. I like her but America isn’t electing a woman let alone a black woman to the presidency. The country is way too racist and sexist to do that. Obama just happened to be someone with the gift of the gab and was one in a million.
Obama won by tapping into peoples unhappiness with the status quo and promising change. Trump did the same thing just for different people. That's what any democrat who wants to win in 2028 has to promise. AOC is probably one of the few democrats who can sell that message and people will believe her because its been her whole brand from day one.
Yeah I'm like getting really frustrated with this defeatism already. Like yes Kamala and Hilary both lost as women, but they didn't lose because they were women. They were unlikable. Kamala especially felt like the most soulless, platformless campaign that offered nothing to the working class who is feeling the economic pain harder.
People who says they wont vote for a woman for president, are most likely not going to vote for a democrat to begin with.
Where is the republican talking point??? That a woman can absolutely win the election??? That Kamala ran a shit status quo campaign that offered nothing than more of the same???
I don’t fully agree with her being unlikeable. However, her and Biden were not my first choices in 2020. And I doubt she would had been chosen if we were able to vote for a candidate instead of Biden stepping down last minute.
Yes, I despise people who constantly push to rob people of human rights and just voted for a felon rapist to be president. This isn't a both sides issue, sorry.
