Sexism was a factor. Racism was a factor. As you know, surely? You do know that some people in america would say outright that they would never vote for anyone who wasn’t a cis man and would never vote for anyone who wasn’t white?
You’re saying that the proportion of those people who might have voted democrat is too small to matter. I disagree. I can’t remember exactly the proportions of the demographic which voted or didn’t vote for kamala but it was clear that more traditional voters (Hispanics were one subset maybe) weren’t voting for her exactly because she’s a woman.
Answer this - if the dems would have wanted to run a trans candidate, would you have said this was a viable candidate to win the presidency? I’m not asking if you would have personally supported them (assuming they were a decent person/tested politically etc, but could they have won?
No, not in america today. And that’s why taking the risk that a woman could win for the first time was a bad idea when the alternative was Donald trump and project 25, which is going to be a huge set back for anyone not a white cisman.
