if you honestly think a penis is why hillary or harris lost than you are simply out of touch with the majority of america.
people didn't vote for harris...they voted waltz, the country is tired of these wolves in sheeps clothing. harris drug down the campaign when she flipflopped on universal healthcare a week in, she became "just more of the same" instantly.
it's why so much of the country votes republican, not abject bigotry and hatred (though there is a large contingent of that)...they vote republican because they know republicans are slimy pieces of shit that can be relied on to cause as much pain as possible, it makes them predictable and by extension makes protecting you and yours easier.
when dems are in charge you have to do a deep dive into everyone's past, to see if they're a snake or not. while republicans are either easy to please/step around/ignore (if you have the privilege to do those things) because they're so open and proud in their corruption
not saying it's right, just laying it out there as to why most of the country votes for wm over some dem.
obama won because he promised Hope and Change...then showed just how much of a lie that campaign was over his two terms. no democrat will win the popular vote again unless it's a safe assumption they're a pushover (biden) or america can trust they're actually honest about pushing for change (waltz).
the country is tired of playing this stupid fucking game, everyone knows it by now...but if you have to choose between a devil you know vs. one you don't the choice is easy for most.
if you think simple sexism wasn't a major factor for a sizable portion of America, my friend, you're out of touch.
You need to go out to the country/mountain areas. I was out there when Hillary was running. My family are all red voters. Hell, my grandmother told me she would never vote for a woman as president. Paraphrasing her "Women are too emotional and what about once a month with hormones". Yes, that's a driving factor in A LOT of rural voters. Simple sexism.
If sexism wasn't a major factor in America, we wouldn't have the massive incel problem we have. We wouldn't have the constant "woke feminism" backlash bullshit.
Pretending America isn't sexist and isn't contributing reasion why Hillary/Kamala lost is willfully ignorant.
If conservatives in Britain can elect a woman as the leader of their country in the 1980s, then the US can elect a woman in the 2020s. We have a problem with misogyny, but I refuse to believe that even though enough conservative Britains could overcome their prejudice to get a woman elected in the 1980s, progressives in the US can't somehow manage it in the 2020s.
Reality check. A few points swing would have resulted in Hillary of Kamala winning. These were close elections. I'm sure sexism was a factor, but their unpopular policies and corporate fakery were what really killed them.
Those people already weren't going to vote for a Democrat...women are winning high ranking positions in what most people would consider much more culturally machismo-prominent cultures than the US
