Hillary was right. Harris was right. Misogyny ignored them.
Lets not pretend the presidential election is all about gender and nothing else. Thats just not true.
I could understand Hilary not getting elected, but Harris? She's as blank slate as any presidential candidate could get ( and maybe that was the problem). But the demographics which shifted the most politically, was the Hispanic and black male (whom tend to be less educated) voters towards the right. That could either be populism or misogyny, and considering they were leaning left when elected Biden the previous term, I'm leaning towards the latter reason.
She's a former cop and prosecutor that wasn't selected through a primary process (not that Dems ever allow anyone not selected by party elites.)
She's basically a Republican with zero progressive policies, which isn't going to appeal to an increasingly radicalized base.
There were a lot of problems with her that had nothing to do with her being a her.
Democrats keep chasing votes to the right, abandoning the actual left and the working class.
