Focusing on campaign strategy and tactics is a way to ignore a deep and fundamental misogyny and racism in this country. It’s misdirection to avoid looking at the ugly foundations of power because those foundations are our souls. There is an ugly deformation in the core of our being.
Let’s imagine a world where Harris ran against a “conventional conservative”, like a Romney or McCain. In other words, the differences between the Dem candidate and the GOP candidate are not terribly wide, whether we’re talking about character or policy. In this world, a Harris loss probably represents some level of racism and misogyny. It’s hard to say if it’s the deciding factor, but let’s just say it’s there in the mix.
Returning to our world, the differences between Trump and Harris are staggeringly wide, whether you look at character or policy. Trump is a criminal, people. He’s not merely unqualified to be the president, he should be disqualified based on character alone or on policy alone. He is an active force of destruction and chaos who, even when not committing actual crimes, has always acted with criminal intent and a criminal mindset.
We elected the worst possible person to the presidency to avoid electing a woman. We would rather elect a person who is going to destroy many of our lives, who is going to damage us, (and lord help us when there is a real crisis like we saw with Covid), than elect a woman.
I’m focusing on gender here because we elected a black man to be president and then re-elected him, and apparently that’s enough to take race off the table.
But the point is not that we merely prefer to have a male president over a female one, but that we’d pick the worst possible male over a female candidate that is qualified for the job by any objective measure besides her reproductive organs. If Harris was magical and could give everyone the policies they wanted on both the right and the left, we’d still elect Trump because he has a male sexual organ.
My two conclusions is that 1) we have a much deeper problem than politics that politics alone can’t solve, and 2) If you want to win presidential elections, do not under any circumstances nominate a woman.
The biggest political mistake the Democratic Party made was running a woman candidate for President. That’s not me being misogynist, that’s the reality. That is the state of the union. So we can accept the reality and work to change it, or we can deny it and deceive ourselves that it was about economic issues or Palestine or being too conservative or too progressive. The hardest truth is that Kamala Harris was rejected by the majority because she was too female.
And being black wasn’t doing her any favors, either.
