      “The electorate” was racist when Obama ran too, and there were racists saying he shouldn’t run too.

        Yes, and his win sparked the racist backlash that ended with Trump being elected. Remember that Trump’s original political role was the “birther” in chief. But, Obama was male, which meant he had to deal with racism, but not sexism. Clinton had to do with sexism but not racism. Harris will have to deal with both racism and sexism.
