14. There's a misconception that a woman can't win.

Hillary (who was hated by Maga more than anyone) would've easily won if not for Comey's last minute betrayal, which moved the independents away from her. Biden won because he did better with blacks and the suburbs, and due to Trump's mishandling of covid. Hillary did much better than Biden with Latinos. Both did poorly with white rurals, which Trump owns. Both elections were a flip of the coin. Hillary lost the deciding swing states very narrowly, as Biden won them very narrowly. Biden being a white man did not give him any advantage. If Kamala can reassemble the Obama coalition she can easily win this thing.
