Sexist. Seriously.

her victory speech is better than any speech trump or hillary ever gave. Plus she speaks Spanish.

I'm not the sexist one. The country is.

It's weird how in so many countries the first female leader came from the conservative party.

I'm scared (I hope this is wrong) that America will be the same.

Plus she's a Californian so obviously she'll win the popular vote

Bernie should be vice-president of the next ticket tbh.

I don't think he should lead it but putting him on board with someone like Kamala sounds like a masterstroke.

Plus the debate with Pence would be hilarious.

Actually I think2 women in a row would be good. Especially when many consider one dishonest, and they wont be able to say the same about the other. Plus white women would prefer her to hillary bc she's a POC who acts white.... thats awful and racist, but its how white women think.

The only problem with a Kamala/Bernie ticket is there's no South/Rust Belt credibility there... which would be risky as hell as Virginia could have even flipped without Kaine.

Bernie won't be VP or P. He'll be too old and endorse/ campaign for whoever. Get a southern white (mid 50's to early 60's) male democrat with an accent for VP.

edit: get one who loves hunting and doing romantic things for his wife. Relatable.

Hillary was voted as most admired woman of America for a record breaking number of times beating Eleanor Roosevelt as close second. In 2014, she was 2nd most admired woman in the world after only Angelina Jolie. When the press and GOP wanted her disliked, they achieved that effortlessly. Believe me, if they wanted to take down Kamala they'll do it. Steer clear of women for now and let's go with a white guy.

Going with a white (albeit a woman) is what costed Democrats this election.

Can someone please explain to me why Illinois is so solidly blue when everything around them is now so Republican/marginal?

And please don't just say Chicago

Sherrod Brown is going to be in that mix. Don't forget about him.

If y'all want the Rust Belt, he's your guy.

Well, it is Chicago

ONE PARTY is. Hillary got almost the same amount of votes as Obama. The country is not sexist.

If we're not going to elect more female leaders because of this one election, then we aren't any better than the actual sexists. If only Hillary had not been seen as establishment/corrupt, she could've won. 3 states determined this election. Remember that forever.

Majority of the country voted for a woman to be president (Hillary+Jill Stein's votes combined)

The state is not Republican. A lot of the smaller suburbs are moderate. But yes Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are indeed blue and enough to carry the state. Also they have college educated people, and their economy is working.

Not sexist but 46% of them didn't bother to show up and vote for her? Bye!

And if you get a woman less establishment/corrupt than Hillary, she'll get hammered for being a silly inexperienced little girl. The country is sexist. There's a reason no woman climbed higher on the political ladder than Hillary and she still couldn't win against an absolute clown. There's a reason it was so easy to bring down her favorables.

Did sexism play a role in her lost? Yes. It was the difference between lost and win, even if it just a few thousand people were sexist.

Does the country have a problem with gender? Yes.

But to say she lost because she's a woman is just a false statement simply because majority of the country is not sexist. Half of all votes cast was for either Hillary or Jill Stein. Two women. And a lot of Gary Johnson voters rejected Trump because of his sexist comments. Give the country some more credit. I know it's going to ****, but remember the 70M+ who voted against him.

I'm not really sure Blackout.

If the Republicans stood a woman I'm sure there wouldn't be that sentiment. I agree it exists, but a lot of it is political moreso than just misogyny... at least that's what I'm telling myself to help me sleep at night nnn
