There is a shocking amount of sexism and racism in here for Lemmy supposedly being left leaning.
Literally contrary to evidence people just want to blame it on their own subconscious prejudice I guess cause if they are struggling with it everyone else must be, instead of just listening to the answers that are given.
Ok, the way you framed your original comment was ambiguous and seemed to imply she lost because or her gender/race, and people on Lemmy were unwilling to admit that.
Darn. I meant to imply the literal opposite of it after seeing all the comments saying women can't win. But second comment seems to have read it exactly that way as well so I definitely didn't manage my sarcastic annoyance with those comments right.
So how did Hilary win the popular vote? How did Obama win the election? Not going to say there is not a sexism or racism issue in the US. But wrting it off like that is the sole problem is lazy and defeatist.
Wait what? I'm saying they got the votes cause people are generally not racist or sexist. Hillary got the votes cause people didn't care about her gender but she didn't win cause they managed to divide the electorate by her somewhat cavalier attitude towards widwestern states that she basically didn't campaign in.
Im saying all the people saying Harris couldn't win cause they are saying she had color or was a woman is the ones being both sexist or racist.
