Showing Original Post only (View all)Kamala Harris didnt lose because she's a woman or because she's Black [View all]
She lost because the incumbent president had a 41% approval rating, undeserved in my opinion, but low nonetheless. She will end up with 49% of the vote when all the West Coast votes come in. She outran his approval ratings by 8 points, that's a lot... That's an empirical observation and not a normative one.
