I don’t know, it’s quite simple when you view it from a race-perspective.
White women in America do not want a black president, male or female.
In 2008, when Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic primaries, do you think white women rallied behind Obama? Nope. They overwhelmingly switched their party to Republican, so “I can see Canada from my house” Sarah Palin, a white woman, could serve as VP to another old, decrepit white man.
What about in 2016? I personally got shitted on for supporting Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton, and was called misogynistic by white liberal women.
Oh, and the cherry on top. In 2024, a young, healthy, uncontroversial, educated black woman ran against a vile, bigoted, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, capitalistic septuagenarian. EVERY demographic majority voted for him except black men and women.
As I said, it’s really simple when you view it from a race-perspective.
For the record I voted for Hillary and Harris.
That said, Hilary is/was a shit person. Harris is/was a shit candidate.
I voted for them because the other option was a literal traitor rapist, but that still wasn't enough becuase the Dems ran shit candidates.
You’re not wrong. But, majority of the time, I hear white women using the “you don’t support women” argument when, historically, many of them do not care to support black people at all, including a woman, Kamala Harris. Their political track record has proven they’d rather have an outspoken fascist white man as their leader than anyone who is black.
The irony is that Harris is more politically aligned to McCain than Obama was.
