i don’t think so many women rejected hilary only on the basis that she was a woman
that happened, sure
just like im sure some people rejected obama because he was black
but she was also rejected because she was hilary clinton
hilary was too much a complicated figure, with too much baggage, from her days as first lady of arkansas all the way to the dnc favoring her over bernie sanders. she was more hawkish than obama, she was cozy with wall street, she spoke lika a lawyer, and she has anticharisma. good politician, shitty candidate.
the main thrust of her campaign was “i’m not trump”. all publicity is good publicity after all. well then.
there was a populist wave last election cycle, trump rode it and the democrats tried to play it safe instead and shut down bernie.
to ignore these things and say it was just misogyny is sheer cognitive closure and wishful thinking.
but for the next election women will be all up in arms after president pussygrabber.
there will be record numbers of women running for office in coming election cycles
and unlike hilary, warren does not have decades of scandal behind her, nor a history of protecting an alleged sexual predator, and she could ride a populist movement if there is still one. not sure.
i also think she understands economics better than pie-in-the-sky bernie sanders, so she can appeal to both the left and the center, which is how one wins these things.
don’t know if you know this, but warren used to be a republican.
