    But if she instead had been a white male, it’s very possible trump would have lost.

    You mean a white male like Biden who was in the race before her but dropped out because he was doing so badly?

    I always find this argument weird because the people making it typically argue that “America is too sexist to elect a woman” but then go on to infantalize women by claiming that they don’t win because they’re women. It’s never about their campaign, their choices, or their performance like you would talk about if a man had lost. They’re always boiled down to one thing and that thing is a “helpless woman.”

      Admittedly, I hang out with good people not shit-heads, but I don’t know anyone who’d hesitate to vote for a woman because she’s a woman. Give us someone worth voting for, and you’ll have our votes.
