AI generated explanation(nemotron-4-340b-instruct):

The Twitter thread and the accompanying commentary are discussing a well-known social science result regarding the electoral prospects of female candidates, particularly those from minority backgrounds. The key points are:

1. Women, on average, do not face an electoral penalty compared to men. In fact, they have a slight advantage, as evidenced by a meta-analysis of over 300,000 experimental profiles of politicians in more than 40 studies.

2. However, left-leaning female candidates often believe they are disadvantaged, which may discourage them from running for office. This perception could be a reason why some of the most high-profile female leaders in countries like Germany, France, the UK, and Canada are right-wing.

3. The meta-analysis also found that voters do not discriminate against minoritized politicians, and women and Asian candidates even have a significant advantage compared to male and white candidates.

4. Despite these findings, many journalists and commentators continue to perpetuate the narrative that voters discriminate against women and people of color, which can negatively impact the political prospects of these candidates. This assumption of discrimination can hurt women politicians and politicians of color, even when voters are not as prejudiced as commonly believed.

5. The thread highlights that while voters' first impressions of women and people of color are not negative, political opponents can still mobilize negative stereotypes, which can change voters' minds during campaigns. Examples include the "Birther" campaign against Barack Obama and negative campaigning against Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

6. The author of the thread, Sanne van Oosten, expresses concern that the positive findings from the meta-analysis are not being reported as widely as they should be, possibly because they do not fit the narrative of widespread discrimination by voters. She encourages more journalists to share this hopeful message to promote representative democracies.
