    It’s not reductive to acknowledge that we have a sexism problem.

    When mostly white and hispanic men voted for Biden but not Harris then it’s hard to pretend like that has to do with the economy or some other shit.

    Biden and Harris have the exact same policies, white and hispanic men voted for Biden but stayed home for Harris, logically you have to accept it was about being a woman.

      I believe I conceded that some voters may have had sexism play a part, but being cynical and avoiding crtitique wont get the party anywhere. Its really easy to just say shit, but coming up with solutions is harder. So if its just sexism, I’d like to hear your 5 step plan to mend this qualm.

      Biden and Harris have the exact same policies

      Maybe that was part of the issue, when voters want change, how is that supposed to help?

        Let’s be real if they had progressive policies they wouldn’t be the Democratic party anymore

        But if people actually gave a shit about policy then they would have voted for Bernie in 2016, and we all know how electable he was

        You can’t pretend that people suddenly care about policy because they never fucking have

        This was sexism plain and simple

        A bunch of man children got a small pp and stayed home when they realized that a woman may outrank them

          Millions of people did vote for Bernie, and he absolutely would have won the general… Clinton and her minions rigged the primary. The right doesn’t care about policy, but the left, especially the moral “Bernie” left absolutely care about policy. The sexists who can’t bring themselves vote for a woman are right-wing voters and always have been. The idea that the left is filled with blatant sexists is delusional.

          Okay and again, how does this solve anything? People dont have to care about policy to know they don’t want more of the same. I get why you’re frustrated, but you can’t think you know this reason when I don’t even fully, but at the very least try not to be reductionist? Because it actively sabotages any progress to constantly infight on demographic blame.

          I just noticed each of my notifications have been yours in order, I dont know if you want to prove your reasoning or are just here to argue, but I suggest you actually read about half of what Ive said if you genuinely care why reason lost this election.

      Have you seen a demographics poll of the 7 million Biden voters who stayed home? I’ve been looking. If you found one can you share it please? Thanks

      Wrong about mostly everything. Sexism is a part of it, but way smaller than you think it is. Kamala is not popular at all, and the dems are a dying party in their unilateral support of Israel and genocide.

      Kamala had the worst speeches and the most disgusting conversations with people during Q&As. She was never going to win. She has no spine and doesn’t stand for anything, the biggest puppet we’ve ever seen.
