    it’s sad, but true.

    The only way we are getting a woman in the White House is when MAGA convinces Ivanka to run.

      This is such dumb rhetoric

      How did Obama win? He ran on a platform of systemic change and healthcare reform. He made change his primary message and sent that down your throat. He didn’t deliver and he droned the shit of a bunch of kids, but that’s how he won

      How did Kamala lose? Same way Hilary did. Not because they’re women. Because they ran shit neoliberal campaigns pandering to centrists and conservatives rather than trying to capture disillusioned workers who are desperate for change

      Trump voters make up like 27% of voting eligible population

        Sure, if we ignore the historical data, a woman at the top of the Democratic ticket 100% has a real shot at winning the White House.

        AOC is obviously one of the only people within the party who gives a damn, and is fighting - but putting her on the ticket isn’t going to end well at this moment in history. Voters are clearly terrified to not have an old white man in the Oval Office

          Sure, if we ignore the historical data, a woman at the top of the Democratic ticket 100% has a real shot at winning the White House.

          During the past two times that a woman has run for president, it has been in a time in which people want change. In both cases, we’ve had a centrist candidate who represents the untenable status quo.

          All the “a woman can’t win” line does is hold back all women because democrats don’t want a particular woman to be able to run.

          There isn’t anything more to it.

      Not even then. Magas are trying to kick women out of positions in their own party etc. Some of them are talking openly about how only strong white men can lead.
