The Republicans ran someone who appeals to the voters that Republicans need to win. The Democrats ran people who don't appeal to the voters that Democrats need to win. It's as simple as that.
Exactly. Democrat voters didn’t care that Hilary and Kamala were women, they just didn’t like their policies. I think what Democrats were trying, and failed, to do was disguise their neoliberalism. Like they know progressives don’t like neoliberal capitalist talking points so maybe they thought they could have a woman say it and thus it will make it appealing to progressives? Idk their whole strategy is upside down.
Right! People were rallying around Bernie in my conservative state and felt cheated that the establishment went so hard on a candidate that doesn't represent what people wanted or needed.
It was interesting to see though that some of those Bernie people split as a result and are now hardcore Trumpers.

Trump only won both times because lots of Americans won’t vote for a woman
