She wasn't defeated, was she - just robbed by an antiquated system designed to keep slavery safe.
Based on the system used, she got her ass kicked 304 - 227.
Since slavery hasn't existed in over 150 years, that claim is meaningless.

Is this something right-wing Americans say when they collapse in the gutter after a skinful, or what?

Ok Boomer is a phrase started by liberal millennials and Gen Z kids basically as a way to respond to arguments made by Boomers. So the fact that a conservative Baby Boomer used the phrase is actually pretty funny and well played.

I am a conservative.
There has never been a female US President because there has yet to be a female to win 270+ electoral college votes.

But why is that, since the People voted for one?
No, defeated. The rules have not changed. She was fully aware that electoral votes determined the outcome but failed to campaign in states critical to a win.
Just a poor campaign strategy.

It was a question of whether the electorate or someone else that prevented there being a woman President. Clearly it wasn't the electorate. Our system of voting for House of Commons members isn't representative either, but one wonders whether it is currently important that the States should have equal weight in yours. Doesn't the President represent to population of America now? With us it is genuinely a matter of local representation, which is different.

"The People" do not vote for President. The Electoral College does. The Electoral College voted for Trump.
Popular vote is really just mob rule which is why the electoral college was used. Yes the popular aspect is represented in the portion of electors assigned by house seats held. But the interests of the states are supported by equal seats for each state. Its a good and proper balance.
