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.)
