      Sexism run deeeeeeeep in this country.

      It’s not that big of an issue.

      When you run Kamala and Hillary, sexism is an easy excuse. Neoliberals will never blame a loss on their policy, even though everyone is outright saying it’s due to policy.

      Someone who identified as a trans-racial Martian could win a general if they also had a progressive platform, charisma, and authentic delivery.

      Like, if sexism was such an issue, she wouldn’t poll so well

        My wife argues that the only reason dudes support AOC is because she’s fuckable which is a whole other level of sexism and patriarchy.

          People ignore how many women hate women.

          Lots of them have the mindset that every woman is completion, just like lots of men see it.

          Women (not dissing your wife) can be fucking awful.

          And just like some men can fall victim to that line of thinking and say prejudiced shit without meaning to, so can women.

          Like, sure, it’s undeniable that AOC is attractive. But I’ve had loads of platonic friends who were more attractive than she is. Above all else we’re all just human, it’s fucking played out to assume physical appearance is always the most important quality.

          Baddies can be more than one thing

          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?

          Weird how sexism is only a reason a woman can’t run when she’s a progressive…

          Also weird how the people saying a woman can’t run are the ones calling people sexist for saying a woman can be president.

          Anything except admitting neoliberalism is dead I guess
