Can you read? The argument from the talk is we should run the best candidates regardless of race or gender The argument from the other side (your side?) is that we should only run white men, because *other people* are biased so women have no chance. There is no basis for this but people believe it!

Can you read? It is politispeak gibberish. It is saying nothing. It's something AI would write. There's no substance. It's garbage meant to trick MBA-brained dipshits to part with their money for hefty consulting fees.

Should we run more women for office in 2028. Yes or no. I’m honestly curious about your answer.

Honestly? No. Because if we have faux elections still in 2028 I think the violence towards opposition candidates will be unthinkably bad and women don't deserve to be slaughtered just for political points. (In an ideal world all my preferred candidates are women so yes.)

Okay. The point of the post was that the author tested your assumption, by studying every election around the country, and that your assumption was wrong. People are more likely to vote for women than men, all else considered. The idea that women should not run for office is misogynist.

He's trying to do a Nate Silver. Look at Nate Silver. It's not something to emulate.

Right, definitely not something with any predictive power whatsoever.
