I don't think you can hold those two specific candidates against women in general. Hilary Clinton was godawful on a legendary scale (although of course still better than Trump), and Kamala Harris was in no way shape or form prepared for the globe-spanning contest that was suddenly thrust upon her to win with a few seconds still on the clock. AOC is actually popular, which is a rare thing in a Democratic candidate and not to be taken lightly I think.
