Took a minute, but how bout we hear from a member of the constituency Dems DIDN'T lose ground from?

Trevor Noah says it all, says it better and says it truthfully about Black women like no one else can, so that’s why I started this diary with that clip. It’s worth seeing the whole spech when you have a chance. It’ll give you some insight into some of the reasons Black women vote the way we do (and it’s NOT because we’re necessarily so enamored with Democrats!!)
If you got tender eyes (and ears), don’t read this diary. I’mma try to contain the cuss words, but I don’t know how successful I’ll be.
If you’re a white person who has listened to and believed ANY pundit’s “post-election analysis” where the effect of MVP Harris’ race and gender was not part of said “analysis,” don’t bother reading this diary because you sound like the white liberal friends Dr. King warned us about (and no, I’m not providing no link-do yourself a favor and look it up. While you’re at it, read King’s “Letter From A Birmingham Jail”).
If you’re buying the pundits’ “Dems do too much identity politics” bullshit, skip this diary. Because you know whose campaign was literally ALL about “identity politics?” Drumpf’s!!! It’s just that folks who look like me and other people of color and have a uterus were just the wrong identity.

This is a pretty righteous piece. You need to read the whole thing.
