    I’m sorry, but you don’t get it. The patriarchy is insane in the USA. She polls well because the folks who will vote against her mostly keep it to themselves.

    If I was into betting, I’d put all my money on her losing. It might appear to be close, and I’d even vote for her—she’d make a great president, but she WILL lose.

    The US will have a robot/AI president before it will elect a female to the highest office in the country and there are millions of men (largely deeply religious men) who will make sure of that.

      The patriarchy is insane in the USA.

      Two of the last three presidential elections have had a woman candidate…

      There was a laundry list of valid policy based reasons why the last two women lost, and they barely lost.

      How the fuck does that make you think no woman in America could manage a win?
