    One of the reasons Hillary lost (aside from that asshole James Comey) was that a significant percentage of this country doesn’t believe a woman can lead, and not all of those disbelievers are Republicans.

      Lol, are you seriously still peddling the “if you don’t vote for Hillary you’re sexist” bullshit? It was pathetically transparent back in 2016, it’s downright delusional now.

      Couldn’t have anything to do with her being an unapologetic war hawk. Or a Clinton (the last one helped set up our economy to crash in 2008). Or a weak candidate with weak positions pandering to the middle even during the primary instead of pushing left. Or an entitled narcissist who colluded with the DNC leadership to put their thumb on the scale. Or a petulant child who was too busy smearing her primary opponent even after the general was over to take responsibility for the fact that she and her campaign directly gave us Trump by propping him up as a pied piper.

        Yeah, like the people who equate not voting for Hillary with sexism seem to forget that she ran a hideously out of touch campaign - “America is already great” as a direct response to “Make America great again” which didn’t exactly resonate with anyone who was making less than $200K a year and struggling with the forever recession.

          It’s wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it’s “Bidenomics” says the economy’s great, why won’t you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden’s too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden’s had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden’s net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they’re scared of. Next thing you know, we’re going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.

        Or her sexism. Or sense of entitlement. Get terribly out of touch comments and attempts at jokes. Her unfair attacks on Bernie like suggesting he wasn’t working on healthcare in the '90s

      Tbh I don’t even blame Comey since everyone thought Trump would lose. Better to make it look like he wasn’t waiting for her to be president first and have conservatives going bat shit that the FBI is run by Democrats trying to steal the election…I mean they do that now anyways lol, but still.

      You’re absolutely correct. People are seriously misinterpreting what you said, maybe intentionally. I don’t know why people are clamoring to defend sexists.

      No.

      I wouldn’t vote for Hillary period for many reasons. Her sex is not one of them.

      A random fact, I actually did vote for a woman to be president. But, it damn sure was not Hillary. There is too much stink associated with her. Too much shit swept under the rug.

      Fine with a woman. Not fine with someone that everyone feels is crooked as hell. People just don’t like Hillary. Plain as that. Damn near any other well spoken woman could have beaten trump in 2016. The crooked DNC shoehorned Hillary in because they thought anyone would win against trump.
