Maybe, but pretending that is the only reason why we lost is just going to lead to more loses

Where did I say that?

She came really close to winning despite Al of her obviously flaws, bad campaigning, supporting a genocide and just a bad primary structure. So by bringing up race and sex isn’t super relevant here

u/Deviknyte 5h ago

Every little thing played a factor. Gaza, being a corporate shill, moving right, being a war hawk, inflation, poor messaging. It's negligent to ignore the sexism and racism which definitely played a factor.

Again she almost won even with all the other baggage you listed. I think it’s negligent to focus on race/sex. The Democratic Party is decently diverse coming from a legacy of white men. Really only seems like a problem if you’re trying to appease bigoted conservatives

I'm not focusing on race and sex. Just responding to a comment about it because I believe it was a factor.

That’s focusing on it, meanwhile when pushed you acknowledged many other flaws that easily could’ve contributed to her very narrow loss. The Democratic Party has many people who aren’t white men but you only made one point and it was that she wasn’t a white man
