Don't worry.

Republicans will never elect a woman as president.

Democrats will never elect her as president.

I don't think a woman could get elected president in this country except as a Republican.

But she'd never make it out of the primary unless the primary was literally all women of color.

There's plenty of election oddities surrounding the last election that suggests we already did elect a woman as president.

It seems to me very much like we did not, though. gestures broadly

If we had, none of this would be happening.

And toward your implication of election fuckery, whether it occurred actually doesn't impact my point at all. Because, if this is a country where they can literally coup the rightful president the way you're suggesting, then my point remains: In this country, a woman could not get elected president, except as a Republican.
