This post on Mastodon I think nails it:
It’s because she’s a woman.
I don’t want to hear any other excuses or analysis around “the campaign could have done this or that”.
It turns out the majority of the American people would rather vote for any man over a woman. 2016 was not a fluke.
Deep, deep misogyny. A whole new level of disturbing.
From another Mastodon user:
I’d just like to point out that an incredibly “likable” woman ran this time, and it’s still really close with that awful, monster of a man.
It was never about Hillary’s “likability.” Many Americans will simply repeatedly choose the most unintelligent man over the smartest woman time and again.
Also see what to do in the face of an impending fascist regime.
