No I don't think it is because "woman" but rather "obvious awkward disingenous hello there!fellow kids!" Reasons why McCain wasn't nominee Kerry failed and many other reasons. Bernie would have won. Just sayin'. But too late now innit. It's not old guy or woman. It's how the dems campaign with zero and negative ~~conviction~~ benefits or reasons for voters to go vote. Not copium but sad reality. Most people live paycheck to paycheck. If your policies don't align then they won't risk their life for you.
And climate change doesn't reduce the grocery bills or stop inflation. Just sayin'
It's climate change increasing pressures in hundreds of domains, making people fearful and easy to manipulate. It's happening the world over. Blaming candidates for not showing enough conviction is just another kind of copium.
And in fact, wanting candidates to show conviction could be seen as problematic element, as conviction is really not what we need right now in regards to getting elected. Anyone thinking even remotely rationally about the world their children will live in ought to figure that out for themselves.
The big problem is though that vast voting blocks including their candidates are:
a) the ones who fucked it up in the first place. b) too old to care how much things go to shit after them.
