I mean they are not important in and of themselves and should not be used directly as a reason to either support or dismiss her. I’d’ve thought that was obvious by context of literally everything else I said.
Don’t support a person because of their skin color, sexually, or genitalia situation. Support a person for their actions, beliefs, and intentional associations. Yes, their skin color, upbringing, etc affect these things but that is not the same thing.
Cannot only matters if someone stops them which hasn’t been the case thus far

If people say they’d vote for her and don’t during the primary, they’re fuckasses and can be called out as such. Also the people who vote for her specifically because she’s a woman of color. Her skin color and gender are not important. Furthering progressive ideals of “kids and poor people not dying”, “healthcare should be between the person and their medical team, not including insurance and landlords”, “not having to choose between eating, seeing a doctor, and housing/utilities”, and so forth.
Is she perfect? No but the enemy of good is perfect so we need to push for progress, not perfection. We also need to be aware of how any chosen progressive candidate will be maligned and be able to combat it. The red scare is still a factor in today’s time as are racism, misogyny, and toxic masculinity. People automatically shut down upon certain words or ideas without listening to the actual content being said. There is no trying to understand, only soundbites and tweets and headlines.
Anyway, back to point. She’s a hard sell to the average idiot. Doesn’t mean we can’t try though. The opportunity is there to push for more progressive movement
The irritating thing is that the voting population is, on average, stupid, easily led, and anti woman. She would not fair well no matter how good she’d be in charge because brown woman bad or something equally idiotic. We’re nothing if not committed to shooting our own feet and wondering how it happened
So the ai has already won?
I’m not saying she shouldn’t run. She’d be my most likely vote assuming some unicorn progressive candidate doesn’t show out of nowhere. It’s just irritating as fuck that she’s fighting from behind purely because she’s not a rich white dude
