Americans choosing Trump twice instead of a moderate woman candidate is all the proof I need that the country won't have a woman become president in my lifetime.
I don't think Hillary Clinton was rejected primarily because she was a woman but primarily because she was about as establishment as it gets in an election that was shaping up early on as an anti-establishment election.
Omar would have done better than Harris. And she's the 'scary communist'. And Muslim. But she has actual policy and very clearly communicates it. That's literally the baseline for any candidate for any race, and somehow Harris fucked it up. Stop running candidates who only see regular people on TV and maybe you'll get a win.
This election was not decided on clearly communicated policy because Trump has not clearly communicated anything in his life.
On the contrary. He told voters that 'those people' are they reason they're hurting and he would fix it. That's a very clear message, and one a lot of people responded to.
Harris didn't even seem to realize there was a problem.
I think a lot of people just realized that. I would be surprised to see one even do well in a primary in the next decade.
