Two milquetoast Neoliberal women lost because them being women was enough to lose the few % of support their male counterparts had.
I think most people want leftist leadership these days. Most people want a third party.
So the issue with this thinking, is that those percentages will still be there no matter what candidate it is. I do agree with you that people generally prefer leftist policies. I'm a progressive, and would love a Bernie platform to be the policy foundations for the country.
The issue is, if you're going to voluntarily cede 2-4% of your electorate just because they are a woman, why not run someone who's a guy who has the same policy legs.
Personally I would vote for either. Idk if Bernie would make through a presidency but it would be a solid ticket if it was Bernie+ AOC as VP
Bernie is just too old. I'm tired of geriatric people being in charge, to be honest.
He believes all the right things, but the issue is he has never, in his time in the senate, ever gotten anything major passed.
That is a huge part of leadership. You can't just 'be right' you have to also get things done. I love love love Bernie's ideas, but he has never been a good leader in that dept.
