I want to preface this by saying that in no way am I minimizing misogyny as a reason she isn't president. That's a real and true thing, and obviously any kind of shitty bias of this kind plays a role. And I don't think that any existing bias like this (or racism or Islamophobia or homophobia or transphobia, etc. etc.) are reasons to not run a candidate...with the right messages and appeals those things are hurdles you can overcome. I mean, we elected a black guy with an African name as president because he had a good message and an appeal to voters that was strong enough to overcome enough of that bias to win by huge margins.
Enough ink has been spilled about it, but her campaigns goal of converting suburban Republicans that were turned off by Trump was a colossal failure. They may hold their nose as his tweets or his blatant racism, but they still agree with what he's about fundamentally, just not the way he says it. She did this at the expense of turning out disenfranchised and disillusioned voters, and it cost her big. Not to mention how her campaign ignored swing states...i think Trump out campaigned her in these states by like 50 percent or something outrageous. She didn't visit Wisconsin once during the last 100 days of the election!
Look, she had more than that against her as well. Our system is stupid and archaic and dumb as hell...but the rules are you get 270 electoral votes and you win. Seems like a bad campaign when you lose that focus...that or hubris (probably both here, TBH).
Hillary ran a bad campaign? Please explain
