and like idk bernie MIGHT have won and sure anything is better than Donald but if you look at it as "Trump is likely to lose but Dems are unlikely to regain the House and Senate"... Hillary is a pretty logical option. Maybe not ideal, but logical.

and also like... if you're looking at it and it's coming out as a wash in your logical objective calculation then 100% you go for the woman. I know we all hate identity politics (which is wrong btw) but surely we can agree "if it's a wash, vote for the first female President."

(oh also hating identity politics is wrong. Identity politics at root is simply intellectual humility, and the assumption that your EXPERIENCE of a given social position is as valuable as my ANALYSIS of that social position in qualifying us for leadership positions.)
