Besides Black women, there is no cross section of our population - no cross section of our Democratic allies - where, when we break it down, we did not lose voters to racism and/or sexism.

I dream of seeing a woman President before I die. But we can't ignore the fact that there are racists and sexists among us. Among us Democrats. We have been taught that lesson twice now. Hopefully we have learned it.

She ran a GREAT campaign. If she was a white man with half her qualifications, she would have won in a landslide.

I agree. Dem policies benefit them tremendously. For example, spooky3 Nov 2024 #30
