I wondered if the vagina was the main cause of the votes for D T. Very sad if it was. Thank you for your comment Dr. Lightbrown.

The only thing is the majority of voters chose Clinton over Trump in 2016.

No. I don't think misogyny was the main factor.

I'm thinking it might a combination. A vagina is strike one. Non-white is strike two. She's from California which labels her as a 'coastal elite'; that's strike three. --> One, even two can be overlooked. Three? That's 'too much' for a lot of people. My bet is in 2020 the playing field was level so enough people actually started looking at qualifications and judged Biden as the lesser of two evils.

You may be right, Anton. In comparison with your two US parties, I am beyond doubt a pinko-anarcho-communist. I would have to choose the prettiest, the youngest, the richest, the tallest, the nicest or other irrelevancy. Far beyond that, in my opinion, you need to go back to the drawing board and create a new electoral system, plus getting rid of money and influence by big self-interested business. By the by, I cannot think of any country that is truly democratic so I'm not getting at the US alone.
