Disagree. For one, it’d be an underwhelming point as a historic marker if it’s the only option. And two, we haven’t gotten a female president yet cuz the women we keep running are shit candidates. Sexism is absolutely a factor, but I don’t think it compares to the absolute fuckton of baggage (actual or perceived - doesn’t matter) that comes with Hillary, or Harris’s last minute embrace of Israel’s genocide.
We haven’t actually tried running a woman who’s also a decent human being. AOC would wipe the floor with her opponent’s face, regardless of that opponent’s gender.
Eh, it doesn’t have to be the most stupendous, amazing victory for women to be important and good. Two female candidates would still be a huge deal, assuming proper primaries were conducted. That said, I would be astounded if the Republican nominee is a woman any time soon.
And who fuckin knows on the Republican nominee… I’m sure if MTG says enough slurs, or stomps on enough puppies, or shoots enough kindergartens, etc, on live TV the republican voter base could be persuaded to overlook the fact that she’s a woman. She’s already got behaving like a fucking dumbass down to a science, and the R’s love that shit, so… as Republican standards go for presidential material go, she checks a lot of the boxes.
MAGA voters seem pretty unlikely to vote for women.
I think you’re underestimating the potential power of “vote for a woman to own the libs and show them we’re not sexist. They’re stupid!”
They’d be faster to transvestigate her first
Sadly, I think the only way we get a female president is if all candidates are female. AOC vs. MTG would be a good history maker.

Yeah, fair enough.

The one flaw in an otherwise brilliant plan.
