    I believe I conceded that some voters may have had sexism play a part, but being cynical and avoiding crtitique wont get the party anywhere. Its really easy to just say shit, but coming up with solutions is harder. So if its just sexism, I’d like to hear your 5 step plan to mend this qualm.

    Biden and Harris have the exact same policies

    Maybe that was part of the issue, when voters want change, how is that supposed to help?

      Let’s be real if they had progressive policies they wouldn’t be the Democratic party anymore

      But if people actually gave a shit about policy then they would have voted for Bernie in 2016, and we all know how electable he was

      You can’t pretend that people suddenly care about policy because they never fucking have

      This was sexism plain and simple

      A bunch of man children got a small pp and stayed home when they realized that a woman may outrank them

        Okay and again, how does this solve anything? People dont have to care about policy to know they don’t want more of the same. I get why you’re frustrated, but you can’t think you know this reason when I don’t even fully, but at the very least try not to be reductionist? Because it actively sabotages any progress to constantly infight on demographic blame.

        I just noticed each of my notifications have been yours in order, I dont know if you want to prove your reasoning or are just here to argue, but I suggest you actually read about half of what Ive said if you genuinely care why reason lost this election.

        Millions of people did vote for Bernie, and he absolutely would have won the general… Clinton and her minions rigged the primary. The right doesn’t care about policy, but the left, especially the moral “Bernie” left absolutely care about policy. The sexists who can’t bring themselves vote for a woman are right-wing voters and always have been. The idea that the left is filled with blatant sexists is delusional.
