I don't think she's using the metric you assume, I think she's speaking from experience as a First Lady & reacting to the sum total of how America reacts to the idea of women having agency over their own bodies, finances, and futures. The stats on sexual assault, domestic violence, & femicide.
Personally, I think the idea that all women should be measured by the failures of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris is actually a sort of sexist doomerism.

Labeling Kamala and Hillary's runs as "failures" does a real disservice to the fraternity of Men Who Professionally Run for President and Lose and Consider This a Form of Serving the Country

Buttigieg polled an impressive 0% with Black voters. Zero. Percent.
Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!
It's 2025, And I still run into people that don't know why Black voters don't like Buttigieg.

The tenderness that the Long Beach cop displays towards this ICE agent who spent weeks brutalizing the community as part of his "job," then decided to spend his off-duty time drunkenly waving around a loaded firearm and menacing women--and who violently resisted arrest!

So… A BP agent filmed in LA in June kidnapping someone from a Walmart got arrested by Long Beach cops after drunkenly flashing his service pistol in a women’s restroom. He demanded they call BP Commander Bovino. After making bail he died of a drug OD at his parents house. lbpost.com/news/isaiah-...
A viral arrest, a drunken brawl and an overdose: the last days of a notorious Border Patrol agent
We obtained hours of body-camera video that give the fullest — and perhaps last — glimpse of Agent Isaiah Hodgson’s mindset when he became a flashpoint in the fight over immigration raids.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

They are being abused, neglected, disenfranchised, illegal renditioned, and even killed because of their identity.
What a ridiculous man.

I would love to read an article about how the NY Times abetted the Epstein coverup. There are probably enough disgruntled ex-employees floating around that you could start piecing it together.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

THIS is the sort of stuff we can all do. I know a lot of people don't know where to tap in, I get it it's hard to know where to start, but you can't go wrong meeting like-minded neighbors and supporting the communities most at risk.
We sold out 2 tamale vendors, bought out 2 more vendors, and absolutely swarmed a family owned bakery. It was a good day with some the very best of #BikeChi 🥰 for the 4th installment of the Street Vendor Bike Tour. We persist. ✊🏽
