ALL about the sexism in the end....wouldn't elect a woman

But not just any woman mind you, an articulate, brilliant, persuasive and intelligent woman. You know, like so many MAGA(s) wish deep down they were either A) married to similar or B) jealous because KH is the kind of woman they could never be. I've bounced this off a few people tonight and it hurts but it's the truth. The negative, venomous, nasty BS that Trump spews appeals to the lowest common denominator in this country and fear unfortunately sells.

We'll persevere and this fucker won't break us but he and his gaggle of dipshit buddies sure will try: Bannon, Stone, Flynn, etc...and it'll be a long 4 years but if things get bad enough maybe, just MAYBE we can set a permanent course correction in '28. Hang in there DU'ers.

And this country really hates us. We saw it with Hillary, too.

Kamala was the perfect candidate, smart, caring, charismatic, didn't do anything wrong, and yet look where we are in this shit hole race against an illiterate low class felon.

They weren’t afraid of her failure. They were afraid she would succeed and show that there would no longer be a need for male preference in leaders.

that it wouldn't matter because she was so superior to that POS. But in the end? They simply won't vote for an overqualified woman. She could've done the job standing on her GD head. Now we can watch that fucker go after her and Joe for no valid reason and basically terrorize them. While he runs around and does that (bright shiny object) Vance and Thiel will be dismantling our country bit by bit. 4 more years of this fucker cuz our idiotic fellow citizens felt too threatened and insecure to vote for 'her'.

she lost because too many people were threatened by a woman leading this nation. Pure sexist fuckery. Sure, Joe is male and won it before but he was deemed 'too old' by the MSM. The same bastards that wouldn't frame Trump as too old no matter how bad he was melting down the last month or so.

Electing President Obama in 2008 did not do that much to lessen the malign influence of racism in American politics.

Hillary and Kamala were 100 times more qualified to be president but American doesn't want a woman president, the patriarchy won.
