this thread is full of people placing blame on everyone except the people who actually voted for trump. face the facts: the democrats could have put caucasian jesus on the ticket and trump would still have won.
Open to discussion, but since 2008, the Democrats have won every election where the leadership didn't "put their finger on the scale" in the primaries/picking the candidate. Obama, Obama; Clinton arguably shouldn't have been the nominee and Sanders should have; Biden was (?) properly primaries; Harris was picked
obvious pick, but still, not primaried.
Or the other reason, that the US is too sexist to elect a woman. It's depressing either way of course.
