She lost cause she’s black and a woman. People need to stop divorcing the two from each other. People will tell you she “didn’t appeal to so and so” group but that bs, trump didn’t appeal to those groups really outside of just resembling something familiar.
If walz has been the ticket head he would have won. A black woman was a step too far for this incredibly racist nation. Any other analysis is moot I’m sorry. The country’s behavior is very clear, to ignore it is incredibly short sighted.

I 100% think racism and sexism were factors, but I think Biden likely would have lost too. Voters blamed him for the rising cost of living (and somehow thought Trump would do a better job of addressing that).

I think this too. My conservative European parents are baffled and think it’s about her not having enough time to campaign and I’m like no, they just won’t elect a woman, and definitely not a black woman. Doesn’t matter when she became the nominee. Just like with Hillary she would have won if she were a white man. My 80 year old parents can’t for the life of them understand that this is what the USA is like.

One million percent. The hate for anyone not white and male in this country is real.
