    1. Stop with this shit. It’s 2025. This is stupid.

    2. Women can’t be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing. If you want to win, find another candidate with a dick. That’s a requirement in America. Not saying I like it. Just saying that’s reality.

      Women can’t be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing.

      Tried twice with two exceptionally shitty candidates. Blaming Hillary and Harris’s losses on their sex is a massive cop-out. Trump should have been destroyed in every election he ran in, but the only time he lost was with the weight of a worldwide pandemic working against him, and then, he wasn’t exactly blown out of the water.

      A woman can definitely be president in America. But as long as people like you blame the losses on that, the actual reasons these candidates are losing will never be fixed.

      It’s time to take some accountability.

      Harris was less than 2% behind, and Clinton was ahead in the popular vote. I don’t think gender was not a factor, but I also don’t think it was a major one.

      Nah, women can. The Democrats just keep picking bad candidates. That’s all.

      AOC is great, but probably still a bad candidate.

      I would go with Taylor Swift. It’s about charisma and following, and at least some proven progressive credentials. She fits the counter-counter culture narrative perfectly.

      It’s possible, but Trump would have to fuck up really bad over and over and over again right before election day and have dementia so bad he couldn’t even say his name anymore and the race between a woman and Trump’s 3rd term would still be close

      I’d like to think it’s close because the republicans purged the rolls of most democrats, but it’s probably just the misogyny

      Hillary needs to run in 2028. It is Hillary her turn. Again. This has nothing to do with them being horrible candidates. Only misogyny is responsible.

      Not only that, the establishment Democrat will win the primary due to the progressive vote being split over infighting among 50 different primary candidates. That’s how we ended up with Biden.
