    I pretty strongly believe that if Harris was a man she would have won, even if you swap nothing else out. In the end, it doesn’t take a lot of misogyny to change the electoral map. Just enough disinterest voters.

    Of course, I will keep shouting into the rafters that we need to have a bigger discussion rather than nitpicking over campaign messaging, policy promises, or whatever. A literal bag of shit should be able to be Donald Trump. It shouldn’t be a competition at all.

      I don’t think so personally. If you’re the type where your vote is dictated by the gender of the candidate then you’re likely already voting red regardless.

      That being said, there isn’t enough data out there to accurately state the real reasons why she was lost so I can’t actually say that you’re wrong.
