Wow, you guys are really trying hard to not say 'no', aren't you? :)
Because the answer isn't "no." She won her race, and has had her subsequent success, due to a ton of things that would easily translate to a bald man, if that bald man had all of her other attributes. A charismatic, deeply progressive "bartender to contender" change agent with a mastery of social media and a deep skill for organization and crowdsourced funding would have similarly fared very well in that race in that district at that time, and would have similarly been well positioned to rise to prominence in the subsequent years, even if that person had been bald and male.
Fetterman isn't the right example. For one, his positions are Classical Democrat, not what the party is now.
He ran as a progressive darling in 2022. He was a longtime supporter of Bernie, endorsed by AOC, and was beloved by the progressive left. It's been after he took office that he's taken positions that estranged him from the base. But he was able to successfully and overwhelmingly captivate the progressive base in 2022 despite being a middle aged bald dude.
She had none of this when she started, I'll remind you.
Right. I note it because shows that she has formidable political skills and talents, which skills and talents can be possessed by a bald man just as easily as a woman with hair.
