    Also, there were plenty of people who were never going to vote for a woman, no matter what.

      I’m sure that’s true too, but that’s not the reason she lost, and Democrats will continue to stack losses if that’s the narrative that they go with.

      Democrats haven’t been ceding male voters to Republicans for 16 years because they hate women. It’s because, in the liberal and activist communities, it’s become customary and accepted to treat men like shit.

        this is just as dumb as the opposite “they didn’t vote for Kamala because she’s a woman”

        people don’t like Kamala because she’s an extension of Joe Biden and Biden has been a failure. that’s why she lost. she offered status quo when people want change. the DNC is incapable of changing quick enough to avoid fascism

      If that’s why Kamala lost, then explain why Tammy Baldwin is winning Wisconsin and Elissa Slotkin is winning in Michigan.

      Plenty of people will also never vote for a black man, but that worked spectacularly for the Democrats the first time.
