It was racism and sexism. There is a certain percentage in EVERY DEMOGRAPHIC except Black women who voted for Joe and wouldn't vote for Kamala.

We need to recognize the racism and sexism within our own party. I get it that it's hard. I don't want to give up my dream of a woman President in my lifetime. But I have.

Please. We all know this. "Inflation" is racist cover language for "Not voting for a woman, and certainly not a woman of color." And this author has added "cultural fever" as another cover phrase.

Trump will trash the economy and no one will blink. He will cause the deaths of untold numbers of Americans and the media will applaud. Again.

It's racism and sexism. Among our own.

Fair points, but I'm pretty sure we haven't yet gotten to the point of having a clear demographic picture of that. ancianita Nov 13 #11
