P.S. Living in a purple state, I’ve heard a lot of comments about HRC being a woman: people who support her often said it was a reason (or the only reason) to support her.
People who did not support her said they didn’t feel it was right to vote for her just because she’s a woman. And women often said they felt insulted by the assumption that they should vote for her just because she’s a woman. If you continue to be tone-deaf and refuse to understand how your message (if you can call all the inchoate screaming these day a “message”) lands on those who aren’t true believers, you probably shouldn’t expect to do better in the next election.
