Politicos from all over the Democratic Party have been declaring for the last year that a woman can’t win the presidency. Even Michelle Obama made the claim!
What’s up with that?
Let me start by saying the claim is obvious baloney. But once we’ve established the utter foolishness of the claim, we have to figure out what to do. Why do people keep making claims this like?
I’m going to provide an error theory to explain it. We’ll begin from the point that the claim centers on certain professional class liberal anxieties.
And it says more about them than it says about the world.
