For completely different, purely political reasons. I wouldn't vote for Michelle Bachmann, either.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

What's your least favorite "reason" we're down to two men as usual? [View all] Sparkly Mar 2020 OP

Because women keep voting for men nt Xipe Totec Mar 2020 #1

This is the conversation that dominated my house during this campaign HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #15

I am not blaming men alone for the voting. Sparkly Mar 2020 #19

I know, sorry to give that impression. I should have been clearer.. HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #20

To your point about knowing their own power HarlanPepper Mar 2020 #22

I find the Super Tuesday exit polling showing that Biden & Sanders each did better with women ... Kaleva Mar 2020 #28

It's clear that happened from the results. Sparkly Mar 2020 #31

I wrote an OP talking about Warren's problem with female voters. Kaleva Mar 2020 #33

What were their problems with her? Sparkly Mar 2020 #34

The exit polls don't say why more women voted for Biden and Sanders each then for her Kaleva Mar 2020 #36

Yup. Choose an excuse above. nm Sparkly Mar 2020 #37

I cannot speak for the women who preferred Biden or Sanders over Warren. Kaleva Mar 2020 #39

You miss the point. Sparkly Mar 2020 #41

It might be beneficial for someone to study why women went to Biden and Sanders instead of Warren. Kaleva Mar 2020 #68

I clicked on other for that very reason...I though Biden had a better chance in the blue wall states Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #62

I wasn't asking for your reason re: Warren, I was asking about annoying reasons re: women in general Sparkly Mar 2020 #64

Are you asking what annoying reasons women may give for not voting for Warren? Kaleva Mar 2020 #69

I think the desire to get rid of Trump was paramount for many. Kaleva Mar 2020 #70

They all strike a chord... LisaM Mar 2020 #2

For me, that goes to the "uninspiring" and "nobody likes" categories, too. nm Sparkly Mar 2020 #3

Strategically, she did run a bad campaign dansolo Mar 2020 #10

We'll have to agree to disagree on that. n/t LisaM Mar 2020 #11

I disagree. Sparkly Mar 2020 #17

Wait, we had a woman at the head of the ticket last time. gulliver Mar 2020 #4

I am talking specifically about WOMEN. Sparkly Mar 2020 #7

AOC endorsed Bernie instead. Laelth Mar 2020 #5

Do you think AOC is that powerful? Sparkly Mar 2020 #9

I just know what the polls told me. Laelth Mar 2020 #13

That corresponded with other events as well, I think. Sparkly Mar 2020 #35

I picked other. The reason I was a Biden supporter is that he was the best to take the three states Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #6

Just a question Sparkly Mar 2020 #8

He was born in PA...also, I saw how he was in Ohio in 08 and 12...He can deliver the Midwest in 20 Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #21

So, "electability." Sparkly Mar 2020 #25

I would add that I have always liked Biden... I was happy to support him...but much as I like him, Demsrule86 Mar 2020 #30

Other: misogyny. stopbush Mar 2020 #12

She won the nomination DESPITE misogyny. Sparkly Mar 2020 #14

This feels like a trap. BusyBeingBest Mar 2020 #16

Why? Sparkly Mar 2020 #18

Bernie said a woman can't win. n/t zackymilly Mar 2020 #23

Then he denied saying it Sparkly Mar 2020 #26

Every candidate has problems... Moderateguy Mar 2020 #24

That doesn't answer my question. Sparkly Mar 2020 #27

Misogyny Moderateguy Mar 2020 #32

Two men and one woman, and my LEAST favorite reason Hortensis Mar 2020 #29

first step is to understand what is our voting BASE and I tell you it is not liberal beachbumbob Mar 2020 #38

So.... Sparkly Mar 2020 #40

Hillary had more appeal to the base than sanders could ever have. beachbumbob Mar 2020 #46

PS - Again, it's not about YOUR excuse... it's about the one that most annoys you, from sexists. Sparkly Mar 2020 #42

Can we please stop this crap !?!!? MFA was ... ***NOT*** ... popular and sticking to a non popular uponit7771 Mar 2020 #43

Actually MoonlitKnight Mar 2020 #44

GE polls did not show it was popular uponit7771 Mar 2020 #45

No. This crap continues. Sparkly Mar 2020 #50

Her tactic not just the policy, the tactic was to hug Sanders and not constantly go after his BS ... uponit7771 Mar 2020 #51

Why does one thing work for Sanders and not for her, then? Sparkly Mar 2020 #55

Cause Truman's right, if people have a choice between the original and the copy without much ... uponit7771 Mar 2020 #57

She had her own set of plans, far more detailed Sparkly Mar 2020 #61

The lack of substantive attacks on Sanders campaign tactics, his lack of disclosure on policy ... uponit7771 Mar 2020 #63

Okay, peel back the layers. Sparkly Mar 2020 #66

There's a woman tax, 5% at most ... that's big but I still believe NOT separating herself from ... uponit7771 Mar 2020 #67

If so -- Sparkly Mar 2020 #71

I don't think she would've won hugging Sanders no matter what gender she was. uponit7771 Mar 2020 #72

Again, I am NOT speaking of her specifically Sparkly Mar 2020 #73

our last two nominees weren't white guys treestar Mar 2020 #47

First, race and gender are separate biases. Sparkly Mar 2020 #54

A man will still win sometimes treestar Mar 2020 #80

I don't understand the thread NedBraden Mar 2020 #48

The reason Biden is going to win is simple dsc Mar 2020 #49

I am asking why. Sparkly Mar 2020 #58

great minds !!! uponit7771 Mar 2020 #65

Your reminder that we already elected a woman president, named Hillary Clinton shenmue Mar 2020 #52
