    Women can’t be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing.

    Tried twice with two exceptionally shitty candidates. Blaming Hillary and Harris’s losses on their sex is a massive cop-out. Trump should have been destroyed in every election he ran in, but the only time he lost was with the weight of a worldwide pandemic working against him, and then, he wasn’t exactly blown out of the water.

    A woman can definitely be president in America. But as long as people like you blame the losses on that, the actual reasons these candidates are losing will never be fixed.

    It’s time to take some accountability.

      I agree, I can’t say this is 100% a cope but it’s a partial cope. Look at when “Ghostbusters” was rebooted. I’m sorry, that’s a really terrible film. However, at the time, if you said that you were likely to get someone to pop up and say “That’s just because you hate women!” No, that’s because that movie was fucking horrible and happened to have women in it. How many people are still watching that film now? Is it remembered fondly?
