Bren, I basically agree (and have written about facing the reality of Sexism and Racism in my post Democrats: Swallow the Red Pill! It’s about letting go of this delusion of America we wish existed). And, there is usually more than one single issue at play, right? I’m not saying that if Biden had done a better job at stopping price gouging, Harris would have one. But it might have sway enough voters squeezed by inflation, who voted for change.
The greater point is —how to deal with the loudest truth - the US is not ready to elect a woman — any woman — as president? I don’t see how the Dems are going to grapple with that at all.
