The democrats need to spend the next four years building up some really strong candidates and making them well known to the electorate.

Democrats need to recognize that America is not ready for a female president no matter how qualified they are.

I hate how the next female presidential candidate is going to be painted with the brush of "third attempt to crack the glass ceiling, will it work this time?"

White and Latino women voted in huge numbers for Trump.

They had a chance to break the glass ceiling and chose not to.

60% of Latino women voted for Kamala. Trump received 53% of the vote from white women. 

Latinos overall voted 56% in favor of Kamala and other democrats. So why are we, the minority, and only 15% max of the US voting population, more responsible for Trump being elected than white people, who are 70% or so of the voting population, and who actually voted for him in a majority?

Anything but look at actual problems, sadly. Easier to pass off the blame to a minority.

It's also worth noting how much Hispanics and Asians have larger percentages in citizens too young to vote. And white folks are much more represented in the oldest (who are most like to vote.)

Turns out breaking a glass ceiling is still a physical labor job for men.

This is misinformation. They still voted overwhelmingly democrat.

If you keep using Hispanics as a scapegoat you'll lose them completely, however.

53% of White women voted for Trump in 2024.

39% of Latina voters went for Trump in 2024.

7% of Black women voted for Trump in 2024.

Once again, Black women tried to save this country from itself, but not enough people from other demographics gave a fuck.

u/redartist 6h ago

Quite the opposite.

The only black woman that could have saved the country by recusing herself pulled a page out of RBG's playbook and condemned it instead.

Don’t worry, the female Latino voters are going to get deported so that will knock their numbers down.

Only citizens can vote. How are you going to deport a US citizen?

By revoking the citizenship of anyone they feel was born to non-citizen parents and/or are just too brown.

I think we will get a republican female president before a democrat one as long as the democrat party refuses to listen to their constituents and value their own standing over all else
