You can't say you want someone who is "decently progressive" and then pretend we can't nominate a woman because we don't want to turn off moderate conservatives. It's nonsensical.

Her gender wasn't even a serious line of attack during the campaign and she went so hard to the center she was losing votes in the cities, the core source of Democratic votes.

It's not what I want. It's what the non-MAGA moderates would vote for.
