I'm sick of hearing this. Hillary Clinton was roundly disliked by a lot of people, not just conservatives. Remember when she tried to ban GTA San Andreas over the Hot Coffee mod? She literally went out of her way to center Trump in the media and used her media connections to promote Trump and Cruz as whackadoos, unintentionally giving Trump more media coverage. She thought for sure she was gonna be running against Jeb Bush in the general, which put a lot of people off who didn't want another Bush or Clinton in the White House. She was rude to her constituents. She told a young black woman who had spend $1000 to be able to meet with Mrs. Clinton that she should stop complaining and run for office herself. Why are we going to continue to ignore a historically unpopular choice as a candidate and someone who doubled down on her worst takes, like being proud of her friendship with war criminal and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Maybe it's not women as much as that specific woman.

Harris was a better candidate, but because Biden wouldn't step away we didn't get a primary, and that left a lot of voters feeling very much like we've had candidates forced down our throat by the DNC that weren't really chosen by the people for 10 fucking years running. Why can't we consider that maybe treating your voters like shit and constantly swinging to try to capture Republican voters instead of, you know, getting their own voters excited just isn't that big of a draw. For real, bringing out Dick "Darth Vader" war criminal Cheney was fucking idiotic because the shit him and GW Bush pulled helped set the stage for Trump. I think this attitude that "America won't vote for a woman" is a poor and honestly sexist misreading of the political climate.

People didn't want a political dynasty with Clinton, just like they didn't want another Bush (Jeb) who happened to be a man in the same election. Americans generally are against political dynasties because Americans are generally fickle and want to be able to kick out the last bastard. The conservatives for whatever reason are just too fuck stupid to see that Trump is breaking every system that allows them to do so.

Anyway, bottom line. I don't believe that America won't elect a woman. I firmly believe that if AOC actually ran on the platforms she actually cares about that she would walk all over the competition. I believe our last two women candidates were wrong place, wrong time, wrong situation and that this idea is the wrong conclusion to take from the outcomes.
