    For the 5900098325893th time, Harris lost because of her platform, not her gender.

      No matter how many times you say it, it doesn’t make it true. When a woman runs against a known rapist, felon, racist con man and loses (twice!) yet a borderline demented white man wins (with essentially the same platform), it is much more likely that voters are misogynists than “because of her platform”.

        Biden only managed to win because of how Trump fucked up COVID. But since voters have goldfish memories, it didn’t hurt him again four years later.

          I disagree that a woman would have won in 2020 because of COVID.

      Just a reminder, Trump won election against 2 well-qualified women and 0 men. The platform of the meh man who beat him was not essentially different from that of either woman.

      And yet, 5900098325894 times, some guy on the Internet has insisted sexism had nothing to do with it.

        Your argument is just shit liberals tell themselves to try to excuse the failure of their ideology.

        Why do you love enabling fascism by refusing to make common-sense reforms to help the working class?

        It’s also telling on yourself that you resorted to falsely insinuating sexism on my part. Shame on you.

            If the shit ideology is the problem, how did Biden win? He has all the problems of both women.

            I already addressed that.

            Also your history gives clear evidence of your sexism, and apparently you’re so shameless about it, you don’t even recognize it.

            Cite it, liar.

              Ugh, typed a bunch then hit cancel instead of preview.

              Short version, 3 main female candidates for D nominee split the meager amount of votes available to women in the D party.

              Even after Kamala kisses the ring and Klobuchar bows out, Warren is seen as pulling from Bernie rather than people who might have agreed with her ideas as ideals clinging to the same old guy.
