i think america was more ready for a black man as prez than a woman because we have been more socialized to see black men in positions of leadership...ceos, head coaches, gangs, action movies, etc.

on the other side...a woman candidate with more political baggage than anyone in modern history got the 2nd most votes ever recorded. more than any white man. and i have a hard time seeing as many dems staying home in 2020 as did in 2016.

so it might just come down to basic fundamentals. the dem base is expanding, getting more female (the gender gap is at its highest ever), and millenials and gen-x-ers are poised to start outvoting boomers and silents (they actually outvoted them in 2016 by a slim margin). a woman being a democratic candidate might be more significant than a democratic candidate being a woman (if that makes sense).
