I mean......they're trolling, but they also aren't wrong. America have now twice ran a female candidate against trump, and twice lost. People forget that trump did not run for president 3 times. He's run for president 5 times.
That means he's lost 3 times when his competition were men. He won both times his competition were women. With the latest round even getting the popular vote.
America is sending a clear signal that they DON'T want a woman as president. Whether you personally agree or not, is irrelevant. People made their choices heard at the polls this past week. The results have shown that we want a facist dictator to rule with an iron fist, who's in charge of everything. Who appoints lifelong judges. Who decides how overseas wars will be handled. With no red tape. With no restrictions. With no checks or balances.
America twice were given the choice of him, or a woman. Both times, they chose him. This will completely set women candidates back 20 years. AOC, Elizabeth Warren, these are people who just watched any chance they had in the distant future of being president vanish in 1 night.
This is not an invasion. I don't see any evidence of election tampering. I don't see any fraud. I only see a stupid public. Nobody forced this on us. We chose this. America chose this.
If you've seen any of my other long winded posts the past few days, yes I am repeating myself. I'm just in shock that America chose this.
So, the taliban saying America isn't ready for a woman.....they aren't wrong. They're assholes, and they're absolutely trolling. But they aren't wrong. America chose this.....
OOTL foreigner here. When were the other 2 times?
He's conflating losing miserably in the primary with losing the general election after being nominated (beating men and women to the nomination).
