[quote=Anonymous]There have been several polls and studies showing that people who prefer female candidates vote switch because they don't think their neighbors are voting for them, i.e. they vote for perceived electability. Here's one: [url]https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2019-06/daily-beast-gender-topline-2019-06-17-v2.pdf[/url]

Also, 25% of Dem voters scored higher than average on a "Hostile Sexism" score, per a Washington Post study. So, it's a real problem for Democrats. [img]https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/11/women-candidates-must-overcome-sexist-attitudes-even-democratic-primary/[/img]

There was also an old study (can't find it, but it's in Anne Kornblut's book) that showed that historically both Dems and Republicans would switch vote to other party, when theirs ran a woman candidate. The study used actual women as theoretical nominees.

I don't know why anyone wouldn't believe this, though she likely said it so crudely to drive the point home. Though I'm sure people will ding her for that. She's just not that likeable. (/s) [/quote]
