Hillary was right. Harris was right. Misogyny ignored them.
Lets not pretend the presidential election is all about gender and nothing else. Thats just not true.
I could understand Hilary not getting elected, but Harris? She's as blank slate as any presidential candidate could get ( and maybe that was the problem). But the demographics which shifted the most politically, was the Hispanic and black male (whom tend to be less educated) voters towards the right. That could either be populism or misogyny, and considering they were leaning left when elected Biden the previous term, I'm leaning towards the latter reason.
If the Dems wanted to stop losing they could have selected Sanders. It's not about gender, it's about trust, and nobody trusted Clinton or Harris (nor should they, frankly). Meanwhile Sanders has spoken for the working class the whole time he has been around.
