she was responding to a question of if she thought a woman COULD be elected POTUS. And she responded that not only did she thing a woman could be elected in present day America but she thought it was time fo a woman to be elected.
You said it!
Again, this is everyone's point who has faulted this for identity politics.
As you yourself admit, she did say "it's time for a woman to be elected." That has only one interpretation: that it's necessary, desirable, or at least okay, to vote for a woman because she's a woman.
And that's identity politics. Which stinks.
