I was gonna title this “And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice” and then write “Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again” here, but I’m not sure if that comes off like gloating and that’s honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.

    I don’t think the white guy thing is as important as at least he would have been someone that wasn’t directly tied to the White House that has been lying about genocide for the last year, or apartheid for the last 4 years.

        OK, but the people who are that racist and sexist are voting republican anyway. Of the dems many mistakes, running a black woman wasn’t one of them.

          No, plenty of them vote Democrat too, because the majority of the country is racist and sexist, even if it is just subconscious.

          I’m not saying running a black woman was a mistake, just that a white man has an advantage because the population tends to favor white men.

        I don’t think you’re wrong but I also have to add that I won’t accept that we just can’t run black women for offices for that reason

        e; I should have read this thread further, it looks like other people are already discussing this

        I’m not pretending racism and sexism doesn’t exist, but that didn’t cause her to lose. I hope one day you’ll come to accept that.
