They hate the politics, not the gender.

Yep, but admitting that won't get people riled up.

Roe vs wade got overturned in the Supreme Court
Women are paid less than men
The previous president bragged about sexually assaulting women
There is an aggressive war on transgenders

States can now declare women have less rights than guns

The right wing absolutely hates women or at least hates any man or woman that calls for equality or women's rights

When hillary Clinton said many on the right would rather their daughters be dead than a feminist there was an overwhelming response "Damn right" from Trumpers

As usual, shes right on the money. Sadly, in this case.

Being a pessimist about it is kinda dumb. People said the same about a black president, and Obama proved that wrong.

Stop making excuses preemptively. The bane of left leaning folk is believing you have no control over anything. Fucking Donald Trump became president. Who thought some reality star businessman could pull it off?

even in reality TV i think chaos kass in survivor said it best

if i was a man making these moves id be labeled a strategic genius
but because im a woman and a mom im just a bitch

Except Kass, like Sarah, failed to realize that they dont actually have social skills. Kass even course corrects in a later season.

People love Cirie and Parvati, for example. People with likable charisma.

I mean, she aint wrong.

Unfortunately.

Obama being president drove the right insane, led to Trump and an increase in sexism and racism

What do you think "woke" and "culture wars" are dog whistles for?

Americans need to respect women.

I dont hate women. All men should be at womens feet. Women are glorious creatures.

It's a defeatist attitude and I respect her less for it.

So she only thinks she's able to run where women have step foot before? What about the first House of Representatives woman, what if she never ran and said "they'll never pick a woman"? What about the first woman actress?

She should quit politics if she thinks she can't make a difference tbh

I don't think she said she won't run.

They also hate strong women, and whatever ethnicity she is or they decide that she is.

Do you think that's more down to her being a woman though, or down to her acting very snakey?

I don't see why it has to be just one option

She won't be president because the major parties won't nominate anti-corporate candidates, and even if they did she's too socially/environmentally leftist to win over swing states.

Has nothing to do with identity, this would apply to a white man of the same politics.

Cool caveat to put out there before you ever run, just in case you dont win.

Well, I wouldve won but people hate women.

Fuck off with that.

As its been said in this topic, Clinton came very close despite being a pretty repugnant human being.

AOC would likely have a good shot, if she would stop saying stupid shit like this.

Honestly, she's probably not wrong. I've seen even white female conservatives say that women shouldn't be President.

I'm sure there's some people who wouldn't vote for her because she's a woman.
But she won't get elected because a majority of people don't agree with her some of her policies. Even some in her own party.

There is definitely a possibility that there will be a suitable woman as President of the USA during our lives, hopefully AOC's psychotic ass doesn't get anywhere near that.

This. Obama becoming president made the right even more anti.....everything they were against before.

He won though. Twice. Hilary Clinton won the popular vote.

The debate is Can a woman be president not Will 100% of people be happy with a woman president?

What, because people were more angry with Jackie Robinson playing baseball, that means its less likely for more black Americans to play?

Like someone else said, its a defeatist attitude. I like AOC for the most part, but her saying this is lame.

Typical left projection.

She hates women

Shes exaggerating.

And she's not even a very nasty feminist; she has long hair and wears makeup.

Oh, please. Hilary nearly won and Kamala is Vice-President. It is utterly ridiculous to think this country will never elect a female president.

The complete lack of self awareness to be like "Is it because she's a woman or is it because she's a *****".

Hillary won the popular vote, I don't know how you can even say this.

And it is such a toxic message. She hasn't even run yet and she is already saying she has lost, blaming it on her gender.

Do people not understand that this kind of language is what has driven the divide in the first place?

In a generation or so maybe

Why tf did you censor "snake" tho

I mean women arent even allowed to be topless in the same places men can be, and america tries to paint that as anything but sexism. And lots of Americans get angry at public breastfeeding as well. Let us know when those problems are solved and then maybe we can consider describing america as not sexist. Also the whole abortion thing going on right now
