Comment on Every female Democrat presidential nominee has resulted in a Donald Trump presidency
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoYeah, unfortunately it was to close, as clearly she still didn’t win enough states. Not that I want Hillary to be president, but if she had one we would have never had Trump at least. The entire supreme Court would look different, and who knows what things would look like now.
I despise the Clinton’s, and I’m not convinced things would be significantly improved, having watched Obama and Biden enthusiastically embrace fascism and genocide.
But the point remains: can’t really claim misogyny for Clinton losing the election when she received more votes than Donald.
Your despising of the Clintons is the real point: there was an anti-Clinton machine working for 20 years before her run, making everyone who listens to AM radio, or eventually conservative TV, absolutely hate them both. She was pre-judged before she ever got up there. Everyone had an opinion. What a fucking mistake.
That said I do think it would be silly to run another female candidate with this electorate, there is a gruff male-driven populism at work, and Dems/Progs/Liberals/Whomever would do well to play into it rather than fight it if, of course, we have another real election.

I disagree. There was a ton of reporting on people who voted strongly for AOC and also for Trump.
The problem isn’t nominating a woman. The problem is you nominate shitty women who lack authenticity.
How did Obama and Biden embrace fascism?

Better. We know they would look better. We could have elected a dryer with a magic 8-ball inside of it and done better.
His mismanagement of covid alone is damning.
