Harris' Messaging problem
(lemmy.world)
bullllseye
The problem with Kamala Harris' messaging was that white males still control 60% of the vote in America, either directly or by influencing their wives and kids.
And if you tell that demographic that they don't matter, then you aren't going to win.
I"m convinced that if she ran the same campaign, but had a dick, she'd be the president
This is just misogyny but with more steps
Not really, it's an admission that America is a deeply sexist country that will never allow a situation where the majority of people stand up and say "We want the qualified woman over an unqualified male"
A man would have lost too, with the campaign she ran. We all saw this coming. You're just looking for a morally superior reason to doubt the political capability of a woman, simply based on the fact that she is a woman, and to be just as hateful and presumptuous as MAGA towards fellow Americans whom you disagree with.
Just look at Michigan, they swung for Trump but elected Elissa Slotkin for the Senate. There are plenty of women in politics who ran against men. It's about the campaign, not the sex of the person running it.
Stop playing politics like team sports, stop avoiding even the smallest bit of reflection on the Democrats' campaign, and start pressuring the Democrats to vocally support popular policies that get people out to vote. Writing this off as racism, sexism, or "a voter problem" in general, is not going to solve the problems in your party that made this the most predictable and overwhelming loss in recent history.
Doesn't change the fact that America is a deeply sexist country.
Doesn't negate literally anything that I said.
