    Or, stop putting up female versions of the most right wing presidents possible. People didn’t hate thatcher because she was a woman. She was evil, she happened to be a woman.

    People didn’t hate Clinton because she was a woman, they hated her for presuming she deserved the seat (“it’s her turn”), they hated her for her blatant racism only tipped by Trump, they hated her for promising to expand America’s wars and international meddling, and unfairly, they hated her for her husbands failures when he was president, the assumption being she would be similar.

    People didn’t hate Harris because she was a woman, they hate her because shes an uncharismatic genocidal racist that desperately wants to continue Biden’s policies when it’s clear they’ve hurt more Americans than helped.

    Democrats, if they want votes, need to be a party of hope, not hate. We have a party of hate. Running on a right wing platform doesn’t work against a right wing platform. Every single neoliberal is closer to fascism than the center, so if you’re going to edge conservativism you will always lose to the guy promising fascism.
