NOTE: Because this is DU, I voted for both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, happily. I will happily vote for a female candidate in 2028, but please read my misgivings.

We Dems ran Hillary Clinton in 2016, one of the most qualified (if not the most qualified) candidates in history. She loses to a sociopathic con man who has the advantage of being a Caucasian male, like all previous Presidents. Yes, Comey doing his stunt did not help at all.

Granted, Kamala Harris only had a short window to run in 2024 (looking at you, Mr. Biden), but she was also very qualified as Vice President to be the President. Again, the Caucasian male sociopathic con man and friend/possible participant with Jeffrey Epstein wins.

Two women Democrats have run. Both have lost.

If we run another female candidate in 2028, I HATE HATE HATE to say this, but I think she will lose to another Caucasian male. We Democrats have no trouble voting for a woman and a sizable number of independents and a few (no clue on percentages) Republicans, but sadly, I think she is correct. Not everyone in this country has a "liberated" attitude about female leadership, like the UK and Mexico and other countries. One day, yes, I think a female presidential WILL win, but not in 2028. We cannot gamble on losing.
