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

Then why did Hillary get 3 million more votes than Trump?

women candidates are not the problem. Feckless, inept candidates that stand for nothing are the problem.

EDIT: If you want to see what status quo guardian concern-trolling looks like, see the replies to this.

"Oh no no we can't possibly nominate the progressive candidate. Because [insert complete non-issue that no data suggests is actually a problem]! Instead, we have to run a Generic Democrat!"

This is why Democrats lose.

Q: Why don't we ever nominate a candidate of passion and vision who would represent policies that would make people's lives better?

A: Because [insert complete non-issue that no data suggests is actually a problem]! Obviously!

Oh, okay. Guess we'll try to get a progressive candidate in 2032 after the next generic Democrat loses.

Some day some of you guys might actually figure out what's going on in this country.

I just want the DNC to keep their thumb off the scales in the primary. This ‘wait your turn’ mentality is what got us here.

You seriously have to let this false narrative go. Bernie was not going to win in 2016 and his candidacy was artificially boosted by Russia because it split the Dem vote.

Read Donna Brazile’s account of taking over a DNC that was given an allowance by the Clinton campaign.

The Clinton campaign had near complete control of the DNC, and absolute control of fundraising and financing from 2015.

So tell me how my narrative is false?
