The 2020 campaign saw several female presidential contenders. But Democratic voters "wanted anyone who could beat Trump," @alivitali tells @mehdirhasan: "That’s why they went with someone who looked, frankly, like all the presidents before, which is...an older white man."

Well, not ALL the presidents before were older white men.

There was a robust 2020 Dem primary. The best candidate won, and is doing fine work on the job

Remember that early debate, with something like 12 candidates spread across the stage? It was so exciting: POC, women, a gay man, etc. Even if half of them probably weren't really qualified, it was amazing to see a lineup that reflected the country they were vying to serve. +
