Many Democrats continue to believe that the racism of average Americans — many of whom voted for Barack Obama twice — explains why Donald Trump won. This moralism suits party elites who would rather demonize the public than address growing inequality.
Racism? No. Sexism? Yes.
Yeah and a lot of it was on the part of women. Why do we assume putting up a female candidate will make women inspired? A lot of them believe the role belongs to a man - enough to fuck a party over. So will we keep virtue signaling by putting women candidates in front of the same electorate?
