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.

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

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