Clinton won the popular vote though.
Kamala did not.
Sarah Palin being the largest cluster fuck of the three almost seems unfair.

Sexism was a part but was not the reason people didn't vote at all. I think if Hilary and Kamala stood firm against Republicans and Israel they would have won.
Interestingly, Hillary did get more votes than Trump. 3M votes more (and 2% of the total count)... it just wasn't in the right places to count as a win thanks to the Electoral College.
I donno, I wasn't aware of the full extent of the sexist remarks and backlash these politicians faced, and the article only grazes the surface. It was more pervasive than I let myself believe at the time.
I don't know how many of you guys noticed this, but when Kamala started running, she started talking about fixing the housing problems, and a week later, she stopped mentioning it and never mentioned it again.
If she would have leaned into that and actually fixing real people's problems and also tried to support Palestine, she would have won in an incredible landslide.
Overdependence on consultants has been an issue for Democrats for years. It seems like everything a candidate says has been run through consultants before it can be used.
overwrite decades of conditioning about who was allowed to have authority and what might be possible. The shifts would be seismic, I argued, even if they weren’t immediately obvious. This was a moment when progress still felt inevitable.
Having this perspective after eight years of Obama is either ignorant or insane.
