    There’s a term for people pretending they’re not racist in polls, but then being racist in the actual election. I forget the name. It’s [black candidate who lost election] effect, but searching for it isn’t getting me it.

    I don’t know if that’s what happened this election or not, or if it was even real then, but it certainly could be. Racism/sexism certainly didn’t help Harris.

        No, it’s pretty old. Maybe the combination of sexism and racism effecting polls/actual results can be called that.
