Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

There is a shocking amount of sexism and racism in here for Lemmy supposedly being left leaning.
Literally contrary to evidence people just want to blame it on their own subconscious prejudice I guess cause if they are struggling with it everyone else must be, instead of just listening to the answers that are given.
What are these, "answers given," and who made you the arbiter of 2024 election analysis?
Women do not underperform in elections compared to men
Peoples insistence in blaming it is inherently sexist and my pointing that out does not make me an arbuter just willing to look at reality.
Ok, the way you framed your original comment was ambiguous and seemed to imply she lost because or her gender/race, and people on Lemmy were unwilling to admit that.
Darn. I meant to imply the literal opposite of it after seeing all the comments saying women can't win. But second comment seems to have read it exactly that way as well so I definitely didn't manage my sarcastic annoyance with those comments right.
On me.
So how did Hilary win the popular vote? How did Obama win the election? Not going to say there is not a sexism or racism issue in the US. But wrting it off like that is the sole problem is lazy and defeatist.
Wait what? I'm saying they got the votes cause people are generally not racist or sexist. Hillary got the votes cause people didn't care about her gender but she didn't win cause they managed to divide the electorate by her somewhat cavalier attitude towards widwestern states that she basically didn't campaign in.
Im saying all the people saying Harris couldn't win cause they are saying she had color or was a woman is the ones being both sexist or racist.
