One day, American women will decide that having voted for imperfect (and far less than imperfect) male candidates their whole lives, they want a woman president. And they'll make that choice affirmatively when a smart, qualified woman like @ewarren presents herself. Or not.
In this race, women had multiple options. @KamalaHarris was an outstanding candidate who should have gone further. Women had @amyklobuchar, @SenGillibrand & more to choose from. But even after @HillaryClinton was denied the WH by insane circumstances in 2016, it was a no.
It's fair to ask ourselves, as a country (including women asking ourselves) why that was so.
And by the way I'm not talking about voting for any ole woman candidate. But if a quality woman candidate who largely aligns with a majority of your values, across racial identity and class lines comes along and y'all sleep on the opportunity? Well... it is what it is.
Many in this thread counter-arguing the obvious: that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. That's why I specified Clinton was DENIED the White House (through extraordinary circumstances & the Electoral College) not that she didn't win. Still, most WW voters opposed her.
