Real person. Live in the south. Kamala being a woman had no impact on her election chances. Most people in my circles were big Haley fans.

Claiming that half the country wouldn't vote for a woman because Kamala didn't win and couldn't possibly have had any other faults as a candidate is very bot like, however.





The funny part is that most female world leaders are right wing, since right wing voters are more likely to vote for a woman than left wing voters. There are many more left wing female candidates, but those that win elections are mostly right wing.

In the US, the far-right party elects many fewer women than the center-right party[0]
