Seriously? She couldn't even beat a demented, doddering old man in her party's primaries debates. (This is going to be fun...)
No one could beat the demented, narcissist, dictatorial, sinner, possible criminal old man in his party's primary in 2016. This is indeed going to be fun.

Except that the popular vote from 2016 says the exact opposite...

Clinton WON the popular vote by more than 3 million votes.
Did she win the presidency?

What I wanted to say was that it wasn't her gender that prevented her from winning. But it also didn't help her.

Did she win the presidency?
Nope.
The electoral college gave the Presidency to Trump, IN SPITE of what the American People wanted as evidenced by the fact that Trump LOST the popular vote.

Which is the exact opposite of your claim:
Americans would have chosen a female president in 2016 if it wasn't Clinton.

What I wanted to say was that it wasn't her gender that prevented her from winning. But it also didn't help her.
It was the Electoral College that prevented her from winning.
Nothing more.

Biden has chosen Kamala Harris for his running mate. I just wonder if Democrats can win with a female Vice president. Are Americans ready for it?

I like Harris way back when but she didn't get a lot of democratic support. I suppose that has changed now.

The EC never "gives" anything to any candidate. Trump won almost 85% of the counties in the US; this entitled him to the EC votes. What you're saying is that we should be governed by 15% of the nation. This is the genius of the EC, and this is why it's worked for over 200 hundred years. Thank goodness it's never been changed by a group displaying a bad case of sour grapes.

Hopefully this means we won’t be afflicted with any more puff pieces about Stacey Abrams.

I figured Biden would pick a female VP. I just hope Harris is prepared for some hands on politics... :D
During the Democratic debates Biden mentioned that if he were the nominee he would choose a female VP. So he is just keeping his word.

And who forced the Electoral College on the American people?
