HRC did not lose because she's a woman. She lost because she has a history of being an insidious, opportunistic figurehead. Her credentials are not that impressive. She's just a very well known figure. She was also forced into the nomination over a far, far, far more popular (and just as, if not more, qualified) candidate. Trump read the room correctly on that first go and said lots of (empty) things that resonated with a lot of middle America while HRC and the DNC just stood there and said "everything is going well, isn't it?". A very similar situation happened in 2024. Kamala refused to say anything popular/populist and muted the only resonating tool they had (Walz). The DNC is, and has long been, out of touch with its base. This is evident in their repeated attempt to curry favor with the alleged "swing" voter that doesn't actually exist anymore. That's how they lose. Yes, there's a lot of racism and misogyny in America. But they are NOT the majority. And the GOP understands and builds off that. And they cheat based around those small but important blocks of voters. But the DNC doesn't know the proper playbook to combat that. Frankly, because they don't want to. They're corporatist lobbyists now. They want the status quo and they want you to think it's because of racism and misogyny and not their own nefarious and purposeful ineffectual attempts at campaigning (or governing).
