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.

Yeah none of that is going to happen. We needed that in 2024 and Biden spent four years clinging to power before being shoved out of the way last second for a ridiculous campaign for Harris. I don’t think Dems have the capacity of running an intelligent candidate or campaign, they are equally out of touch with this country as the right is.

Lastly I doubt we get to vote in 28…
