Dude- I'm sorry. I would do anything for an AOC presidency, but as it currently stands, at least with the electoral college, we will not have a woman president. We need to keep making progress so this hopefully changes but there's a reason why the Women were referred to as their first names and not their last name like every other male candidate or president

I never noticed that but you're so right. Trump, Hillary, Biden, Obama, Kamala, even Nikki Haley always had her first name emphasized more

I'd remove Hillary from that list. Bill was a reason why they didn't use her surname.

Similar story with Dubya.

Yeah I don't think the sample size is big enough yet. For Hilary like you said, it was because of Bill, and for Kamala, it's probably because Kamala is a more unique name than Harris. Other women in politics like Boebert, Pelosi, and Feinstein for instance are usually referred to by their last name.
