9. The misogyny is thick in this country.

That's all it can be, IMO. The economists side with Harris. The orange stain has threatened to go after the media. If that's their concern, then their cowards, but I think it's the woman thing. Democracies around the world have elected women leaders, yet here we are, the supposed gold star of democracy & a whole bunch of people, but mostly small-minded men, can't get past a woman leading the country.
