    Harris was a victim of both sexism and racism in the voting process. A sad truth in the world we live in. You take those out of the picture when presenting socialism, and there might be a fighting chance.

      Brother, a black man with the middle name of Hussein won a presidential election.

      Yes, racism and mysogyny were challenges in the 2024 race, but it was the Democratic policy that was the primary issue.

      Look at what Obama offered in his race and compare it to what Kamala offered in her race. That lack of promise accompanied with her refusal to split from Biden on foreign policy (Gaza) was enough to both not draw in enough voters and push some over to Trump.

      Take a look at Trump’s policies as well. We who are here know he was lying, but to the uneducated voter, it sounded good enough to vote for over the other candidate.
