      Harris lost every tax bracket between $25k and $100k. The administration was only popular with white collar workers and with the folks at the very bottom of the income slope, and only relative to Trump.

          Plenty of women winning seats in states Harris lost.

          Slotkin beat Rodgers in Michigan. Fischer beat Osborne in Nebraska. Rosyn beat Brown in Nevada. Baldwin beat Hovde in Wisconsin.

          Dems seem to confuse their habit of running weak national candidates at the top of the ticket with some generic social hatred of whatever gender or ethnicity those candidates claim. The idea that Biden - who was polling in the 30s against Trump by the time the party dropped him - would have outperformed Harris because he was a white man is absurd.

            Women account for roughly 25-30% of the members of the house and Congress, and that’s a record high in both cases, there’s a roughly 20% gender gap in elected officials.

            They’re at roughly 30% across the board for elected positions in the U.S.

            Women candidates actually almost reached gender parity for the Democrats this year, so about half of candidates were women.

            https://carnegieendowment.org/posts/2024/11/2024-election-results-women-representation-gender-gap?lang=en

            Republican candidates saw a drop from last time, and fewer of them won.

            Republicans don’t support women like Democrats do, Republicans won everything this year

            93 Women in the house are Democrats , and that’s les sthan half the Democrats, so even in an election in a party with near-parity gender representation in their candidates who have voted in record numbers of women, there’s still a gender gap in representation, but it’s close, I’ll give them that.

            The Republicans regressed, they’re no where near gender parity, no surprise there.

            And at the national level, the results speak for themselves. Misogyny was absolutely a factor.

              They don’t pander to younger and browner women in the same way Democrats do.

              But when push comes to shove, they support Wall Street.
