Since I got this when attempting to start a new discussion "You don't have enough posts to start new threads. Please reply to some threads first." I'll leave this here:

There’s a Lot of Fighting Over Why Harris Lost. But Everyone Seems to Want to Avoid This Explanation.
It wasn’t the fascism-loving felon whom voters couldn’t trust. It was the Black woman.

It’s not just that she was running against an unhinged demagogue who infamously already presided over this nation during a uniquely chaotic time in American history that ended with a devastating pandemic—which he completely mishandled, becoming one of the world’s leading sources of dangerous health-related misinformation. I could go on, but it wouldn’t matter. It didn’t matter. When faced with the options of chaos, greed, and anger or relative common sense—the kind wielded by a competent, qualified Black woman—voters overwhelmingly chose the former. It wasn’t the fascism-loving guy who spurred an insurrection whom they couldn’t trust. It was the Black woman.
