(60,955 posts)It did not happen. We are both women, and I assume that it is 100% certain that even if it were Palin/McCain, we would have both voted for Obama/Biden, without the least bit of concern that we would be voting against the first woman who could have been elected President.
Note that in 2016, it was an oft spoken Democratic idea that the white suburban women would abandon the Republican party for Clinton -- again, for the most part - even with the most offense Republican possible - they didn't.
Not to mention, with the way you say it - you are implying 2 uninteresting, lackluster white men. Yet, one of these boring white men would have had to have won the primary - over several potential women, at least one hispanic person and a few African Americans. Note the primary will be the more diverse voting block - because the Republicans bring down the amount of diversity. If NONE of the female, minority candixdates can win the primary, why do you assume that they would do better in the general election?
I do not have a favorite at this point and would welcome having a candidate who inspires me, but I will vote for whoever wins.
