I'll never understand why a huge party as the American Democrats, with
plenty of marketing experts, sociologists, psychologists en political
scientists in their ranks, thought it was a good idea to present as
their candidate a woman (1) of colour (2) with a woke reputation (3).
That's asking wayyyyyyy too much of Americans. Any male, white,
average man would have beaten Trump.
