To all the "pragmatic" Americans will never vote for a woman crowd... There are already women in high positions of government all around the world, including Italy, not exactly a bastion of progressiveness.

Hillary Clinton and Harris lost because they were terrible. Maybe the Dems should run a candidate who's not terrible??
The "never women" crowd would never vote for a progressive candidate to begin with, so I don't think it really matters.
The "people will never vote for a woman" crowd is sort of right. A woman will never be elected with the current DNC, but only because they view a woman candidate as an excuse to be shittier. They think their base will hold their nose and vote for a worse candidate just because of what's in her pants.
AOC might get elected because she's interesting on her own merits and has enough name recognition to not be buried by the DNC. They'll do their best to prevent it though.
The “never a woman” crowd confuses me because I’ve never seen a president or my father take his dick out to fix anything.
I will direct you to Johnson.
Now I'm confused
This is the one tool a man has that a woman does not. So if men are somehow more in tune with leadership then it must be related to using their dick. Or something like that.
Clinton and Harris lost because ~~they supported the status quo of people not being able to afford things!~~ ~~they like genocide!~~ they're WOMEN!
Michelle Obama would crush Trump... But unsurprisingly the dems would rather lose.

Michelle Obama only polls well because of name recognition, she's essentially a non-political figure.
What's her position on the genocide in Gaza? What's her take on universal healthcare? What's her plan for Ukraine? Would she fight for gun control? Etc etc...
Right now, people can imprint their personal beliefs onto Michelle. If she would run, she would have to clarify all of her political positions, and then her poll numbers would naturally drop.
