I mean... it's hard to interpret "the problem is her messaging is she didnt come across as a white man with grievances..." as anything but claiming sexism and racism. There's hyperbole there, but blaming the loss on those factors assumes that people couldn't have possibly abstained from voting, or voted against her without those factors. I don't believe that's the case.

Too frequently we call people these things and basically lock them out of discussion. For example, if you called me a racist, I'd no longer trust anything else you said to me because I know myself and clearly you like telling people things you know nothing about. I think that exchange happened with a bunch of people, which is why there were so many people who just assumed many of the things said about Trump were just political lies made to discredit him. After they experienced the same hyperbole themselves.

That said... theres alot of bigots out there too.
