Idk I think many Americans are that shallow but I think the majority don’t care about skin color or gender. I think she would have won if the Dems hadn’t tightened the leash and let her run a more progressive campaign instead of forcing her to go into lock step with Biden and campaigning with Cheney.
the hilarious thing is that they had tim walz as a running mate, and everyone obviously LOVES him because he seems like a genuinely good person, and kamala just kinda… did nothing with that?
like especially when contrasted to walz, harris just feels like a cardboard cutout, and democrats are just puzzled why people give up on voting as a whole
Ive seen that one of the major demographics that swung the election was Latino Men, and a lot of the follow up was that there was a lot of sexism/racism in that. They couldnt fathom a black lady being president. At the time, Trump was already threatening to throw them out of the country, and they still voted for him.
Maybe the majority of Democrats, but make no mistake, the “DEI Hire” comments being shouted in from the right are nothing more than racism and sexism.
She was (and still is), despite the shit circumstances of her nomination, one of the most qualified people in the country for the Office of the President.
If she’d kept talking about housing and price gouging she wins, maybe even without distancing herself from Biden on Gaza. If she does all three it’s the landslide the ppl were predicting before she went on tour with Liz
I don’t think Harris was progressive at all. She seemed disingenuous, media-trained to be as uncontroversial as possible, and every talking point focus tested. Her major economic policy was to give more money to business owners. I think Waltz is somewhat progressive, and they did put a leash on him. I agree she would’ve won if she was more progressive, especially if she focused on policies benefiting labor.
tea party was formed in response to obama being elected. america absolutely couldnt even call him the first half white prezzo. ‘He was the first black president,’ who was half white. It was ridiculous how many people lost their mind during his terms.
Only in America. as a biracial person myself i understand how it works. Perception is right. Neither side will accept you, but if you succeed in life they will claim you.

And yet the Mexican President?
Mexican doesn’t encompass all latinos…?

They voted for Obama despite deeply rooted racism. Sexism would be my guess here.

Essentially he was black, since race is a construct, how he was perceived is what matters.
Yeah that racism was poked with a stick by libertarian trash who sold the presidency to whoever pays more.
