Hillary won the popular vote, so the “you’re too misogynistic to elect a woman” take does not have a basis in reality. Also, you might have noticed that AOC is filling football stadiums in red states just by being willing to speak.
Kamala lost because people got poorer for four years under Biden and she very publicly affirmed she’d change nothing about his policies. Hell, she didn’t even put a platform on her website until two weeks before the election. Kamala was a legitimately bad candidate.
Likely to do with how they tend to campaign, for some reason most tend to be more chummy and try to seem approachable then their male counterparts. (Its still bullshit, though)
She also had a lot of whispering in her ear about how to run a campaign, including from Joe Biden who still thinks he would have won. That’s also partly the reason she started stronger then diluted her platform.
If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won.
Hillary won the popular vote, so arguing for misogyny in her case isn’t a reasonable argument. As for Kamala, no. She’d have lost if she had a penis too. Her campaign was a comedy of errors and she knew it. She was even caught on hot mic once expressing worry about her campaign’s ability to connect with young men. (Admittedly a tough thing to accomplish when you tell people you won’t change anything and young men are struggling economically and lack access to basic necessities in your country.)
The only way the Dems had a shot here was to hold a primary and actually select a seasoned, authentic candidate. Instead, they rigged it like they always do and just happened to pick someone extremely weak.
At least you don’t have a woman in office, huh America?

Why is it that female candidates are addressed by first name?

If Hillary or Kamala had been men they would have won. If Kamala had been white I don’t think that would have been enough to get her elected.
But if Kamala had more than a hundred days to campaign, then she might have had a fair shot.

She was a bad candidate in 2020, when she ran in the primary
She was, couldn’t even beat Tulsi Gabbard.
