  • God I hate this reductive take. Yeah, it played a part in it (especially in 2016) but it wasn’t THE reason Trump won. And any time this is brought up, nobody talks about how many votes they DID get for being women.

    Both nominations were forced on us…two establishment Democrats when the country needs change. They’d be unpopular candidates if they were men, too. Hell, I’m starting to believe they were chosen because Democrats wanted to have “sexism” in their back pocket as a scapegoat.

    There were no good reasons not to vote for them but pinning it all on sexism is such a cop out. I’d say Democrats need to take some damn responsibility but lord knows the ones in power benefit from a Trump presidency, too.

    “Is it our platform and inaction on the face of fascism what makes people not like us? No, it must be sexism!”
