"Are your positions too left-wing to appeal to swing voters?" "Is your race or gender a barrier to appealing to some persuadable voters?" Those are more precise questions than what Gillibrand was asked. If we are going to talk about electability, we should talk about it clearly. https://t.co/tdwdPTU2Pa — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of the questions that Gillibrand was asked on cable news today. If we think that there is sexism or ("electability" used against female candidates) at play, the best way to address that is probably not to ask the female candidates, "so why are the guys winning?" https://t.co/Q29pmwNg1q — PolitiTweet.org

A lack of "electability" is not a condition that hits politicians at random. It's about actions some people take or might take (voting) that at times seem to be based on immutable factors (gender or race). And media coverage should be honest about that. https://t.co/CK5wY7c5mw — PolitiTweet.org
