It's delusional to say that Kamala lost because of her gender as Biden has been going around claiming in interviews rather than pointing out any other reason, she had much bigger problems like inflation, economy, border and being the VP of Biden, an unpopular president proven by the polls. She was trailing Trump on the biggest issues except Protecting Democracy, time and again, with the majority of voters saying that the country was headed in the wrong direction. No president has won re-election when voters say this.

Yes, it may be a bigger lift for a woman to be the preside but I can only find one poll where 57 percent say that the country is ready to elect a woman, 23 percent say that the country not ready and 20 percent not sure in October 2024. The sample size, Hillary and Kamala, is too small to know it as both were candidates dogged by a variety of issues. I I concede that it may well be that a white Christian man is the safest bet. I personally dislike identity politics and would like the best and winnable candidate to be nominated regardless of gender.
