ETA: Before putting words in my mouth, read the words (evidence) of what I said "precisely" to: "Because being a woman alone isn’t a reason to vote for someone. Both of the women that had the chance at presidency were terrible options".
Democrat women who make it to the top of their political party get there on the shirt tails of rich and/or powerful men. They try to rule under the authority bestowed on them by rich/powerful men rather than their own demonstrated leadership.
Look at the enthusiasm for Michelle Obama. Besides being married to Barrack, what’s her political history? Would anyone know who Hillary was had she not married Bill? Look at Nancy Pelosi connections.
Obviously, it’s not a matter of being a woman when we do have female leaders in power. Maybe the majority of the country just doesn’t want a specific woman to be president.
@Yasmine19L To be very honest, I think Trump should have picked Tulsi Gabbard to be his veep over Vance, whichever side does run a woman should pick one with far more integrity than either Hillary and Kamala had.
Canada had a Female Prime Minister, (Kim Campbell) England had a Female Prime Minister, (Margaret Thatcher) The Philippines had a Female President, (Corazon "Cory" Aquino)
If only the United States could have a Female President, then I could die a happy man.
The answer is actually pretty simple, but most of voters will not like it 🙃 Because it is about who they are as people.
There are enough corrupted voters who would vote for corrupt males over a corrupt female, because they are male.
There aren't enough corrupted voters who would vote for a corrupt female, over gender.
Ultimately it is because most women don't crave power as much as men do, so they don't have blind allegiances as much as men do.
Men in the US are by large more corrupt and would support politicians without hesitation, without empathy, without examining the collateral damage, as long as they believe it will serve them. Women crave safety and are more hesitant to put faith in an unpredictable hypocrite.
@carpediem Odd how they want one for president. Odd how they talk about patriarchy and can't tell you what a man is either. Who are these oppressed people? What are they? Who and what are these oppressors?
Because you won't elect anyone at all. You prefer the privatized parties put on an expensive show making you irrelevant. You take genocide and put up a parking lot and bomb Russia - and you don't really vote.
@MarkPaul I doubt an individual matters much. Nobody thinks Americans lack the deadly aim or the Will to prevent all resistance. Dead man walking! Here's comes Dead world! You won.
Partly at least because neither party has yet fielded a good enough female candidate. But you have come close. If Biden had resigned rather than declined to stand for re-election you would have had Harris for a few months.
Ngl I would like to see one in my lifetime just cause why not Just there's not a lot of options for candidates in general So some people won't even vote for the one candidate we had because she didn't stand for what they wanted.
Because Killary has a very nasty history and badly insulted half of the country, and kackler had no real platform, was weak during her veep years, and insulted over half the country.
