No you misunderstood. You’re boiling the entire issue down to race and sex, which is just absurd. Firstly, Harris retained more male Biden voters than female. And the race thing? I mean, Obama was elected by a massive margin. So you’re either saying a huge number of people have become racist in the past 15 years, or you’re just wrong about it being a determining factor in presidential elections. Are these issues for some people? Of course. Racism and sexism very much exist. But attributing her loss to them is stupid.
Harris couldn’t carry close to a majority of democrats in the primary. In fact she got nearly zero traction. She was almost invisible for four years as vp, and then was shoved into place a few months out from the election. And what does she do with that precious little time? She carts out the fucking Cheney family and says she wouldn’t do anything different from Biden and waffles on the genocide until catching flack, and then said she would push for a ceasefire. And didn’t she basically disappear the last few weeks of the election?
She ran such a terrible campaign while towing the line on Israel. Republicans don’t care. But a good portion of dems and leftists were saying it was a big issue. And how many times have we heard lies from the pulpit? So when she basically came back and said “no seriously I’ll do something!” No one who cares believed her.
So many people who would vote democrats feel entirely betrayed by the party for way too long. And they’re not solving that problem. They continue to lean right to capture “swing voters.”
The right doesn’t have this problem. They’re pushing further and further extreme and the democrats are not offering a legitimate opposition party. Blaming that massive issue on people being “sexist and racist” is so fucking absurd. That is why I said your take is dumb. Because it is so simplistic and off the mark that there’s no nicer word for it.
