President Donald Trump launched a vicious attack on Rob Reiner Monday following the shocking death of the legendary film director and his wife on Sunday, which law enforcement is investigating as a homicide.“Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star...
From the outside it was very much the Democrats election to lose. The first time around Trump was a joke and losing to him was ridiculous, this time around Trump was a malicious threat and losing to him should only have been possible if you were trying to
Trump won because he ran against 2 women.
Biden was inevitable because of how shit Trump’s policies were and that the public was in real pain from the 2017 Tariff and trade war…
Once the Democrats had tipped the economy back onto it’s feet and were digging the country out, the pain subsided and the sexism reared it’s head again.
That the Democrats couldn’t see the most basic sexism working to Trump’s advantage, is breathtaking. Any serious male Democratic candidate would have beaten Trump last year, but no… We got touchy-feely women-power at the same time the online spaces were poisoned with gender identiy wars and it torpedoed ANY chance with a female candidate.
Will say one thing, the conservatve right knows how sexists think and for sure they leveraged men’s rage to the detriment of everyone.
I’m not prepared to just buy the “it was sexism” excuse, that’s a convenient one for Democrats to tell themselves - “oh, there was nothing wrong with the campaign we ran, Americans are just sexist”. If a man had done exactly the same campaign as Harris did it would have ended the same way. Fundamentally the Democrats went with a “you guys have to vote for us” strategy and figured they just had to win over right leaning voters instead, and they didn’t really win them over and lost chunks of the left at the same time. I’m not suggesting sexism played no part at all, but I’m not putting the blame solely or even mostly there.
