So many in here still don't get it. For most Democrats that preferred Bernies vision both men and women, not talking Republican voters, it was about P O L I C Y. Can you at least try to understand that for one minute. Can you bear to imagine just once, both candidates as genderless? Can you take out the "first ever democratic female candidate for President of the United States!" out of the equation and you're butt hurtness about that for a second and look at what both offered? One was a more-of-the-same DNC top down corporate friendly establishment, one had their campaign funded by $35 dollar donations and represented real actual progressive egalitarian changes.
We need a man or a woman or a trans person for that matter, because that doesn't matter! to take on the corporacracy and the unfair wealth distribution going on that is heading the country to a fascist state regardless of if Trump won this time or not.
