Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Conservatives will beat a woman every time. I love AOC, but for the love of God do they want to win?
America is still too sexist.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. She only lost because of the electoral college, which is an antiquated concept that needs to go away.
Kamala Harris lost because she was a terrible candidate who was shoehorned in at the last second after it became apparent that Joe Biden was unfit to run for a second term. The Democrats and media lied about Biden for so long that it was too late to hold a proper primary. And by then, enough people were so upset that they just didn't show up to vote, especially since the media kept telling everybody she was going to win for sure.
Oops didnt mean to!
Unfortunately, winning the popular vote doesn’t really count for anything, as broken as it is, the EC is here to stay.
True, but my point was that the reason Hillary Clinton lost wasn't sexism, it was the electoral college.
I will add that broken systems need to be acknowledged or we will definitely be stuck with them forever.
Maybe by 2276 the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will finally get enough buy in to render the EC obsolete.
