Former first lady Michelle Obama said at a recent event that the US isn’t ready for a woman president, pointing to former Vice President Kamala Harris’ unsuccessful bid for the White House last year.
Hillary won by 3 million votes, but that’s not enough for a Democrat to be appointed the presidency by the EC. A Republican can win by 3 million (Trump 47) or lose by 3 million (Trump 45) and be appointed, but a Democrat has to win by 8 million to be appointed (Biden). Maybe not that much, but +3M apparently isn’t enough.
It’s an absurd system that favours the right and that’s why it exists. See also gerrymandering. They cannot win openly and they know it, and they aren’t even hiding it.
