for a woman for president, they didn't show up.

And it wasn't just sexism; most of my liberal female friends refused to vote for Clinton, because they were pissed off over the alleged treatment of Sanders. They voted for Stein, even though I practically got down on my knees and begged them to vote for Clinton.

But you deflect however you want.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
