15+ million Democrats sat out compared to voting for Biden. I suspect this was less about Harris not being progressive enough, and more about sexism.
I repeatedly heard Democrats tell me they didn’t think America was going to elect a woman president, and it looks like what they meant was they wouldn’t elect one.
she had a huge surge in popularity when her candidacy was announced. then she decided to move to the right assuming she would gain more votes from the mythical center than the votes she would loose from marginalized people and the left.
She was wrong. so many people said this was happening. and she did nothing to fix it.
Betraying people and then blaming them for not voting for you because the other guy is worse is EXTORTION.
you know those abussive partners that yell to their victims “where are you going if you leave me? you’ll sleep in the streets. You’ll be worse without me ”.
She had a huge surge in media popularity, but how many of the eventual sit-out voters would still have sat out from day 1, we’ll never know.
Either way, the DNC has to go, because their choice to back Biden and delay everything until the last possible moment created this entire situation in the first place.

i suspect it has more to do with the fact that she supported genocide against Arabs abroad, and she needed Arab-Americans to win this election.
I wish I could at least believe it was about principles, but my gut tells me otherwise. This gap looks too similar to Hillary’s in 2016.
If there’s a ~20% drop in your voters every time a woman is up for election, you’ve got a problem.
