It's a sad reality, but it's true that there are a lot of racists and sexists in the US, so nominating a person of colour or a woman as your candidate really does damage your electoral chances.
I mean, a candidate as horrible as Donald Trump has a 100% win rate against women and 0% win rate against men.
It damages your electoral chances if you are trying to appeal to republicans.
But republicans do not vote democrat.
some dont even vote at all surprising enough, at least the ones pretend like they support more left leaning views, only use it as a veneer.
The republicans who don't vote at all, but pretend to be moderate can't be won by a Democrat either.
Triangulation is bullshit, moving to the middle doesn't win you a big contigent of moderates who like social democratic policy, but only if its complicated and means-tested, who want to starve Cuba and Venezuela, but thinks shooting their fishermen is too much, who want ICE rounding up immigrants into "migrant overflow facilities", but not concentration camps.
there are some i witnessed on Yt, BAD example. the people had a veneer of "progressivism" but then thier minds broke during covid/ trumps 1/6 inssurection.
Based on a false premise, Harris was universally unpopular with women and minorities and everyone else. Maybe that should just tell you that universally unpopular candidates are unpopular candidates and not their characteristics?
Being a poor candidate who is merely tolerated and not appreciated does not automatically cause you to lose. Most people also merely tolerated Biden and many swing voters in 2024 thought they would tolerate Trump despite his fascist tendencies.
It is the combination of being both a poor candidate and being a woman and being a minority that is lethal to a presidential campaign.
Quite off base. It is running as the status quo that was the deciding factor, the fact that you don't know that yet does not speak well to your understanding.
This comment does not speak well to your reading comprehension.
