j reacts to hillary's inability to control the white female vote

the identity politics narrative on hillary won't go away.

they express bafflement at women not voting based on identity. then, they try and explain it away using more identity politics. if she was only gay, if she was only black...

stop.

how about: if she was only liberal.

it's not hard. female liberals respond poorly to clinton because clinton is not very liberal. it's the same reason that male liberals respond poorly to clinton.

the takeaway is that clinton tends to do poorly with liberals. which is neither surprising, nor is it new.

you want a control? here's your experiment. do this study:

ask female voters that have picked sanders over clinton about their opinion of elizabeth warren: a white female.....liberal.

you'll see your arguments fall apart, as warren dominates clinton - and probably beats sanders (amongst women).
