I’m so tired of women leaders being held to a higher standard and needing to be “likable”. I’m sorry but I’m calling BS on this.

It is NOT her fault for not being a perfect candidate or for not running a perfect campaign. Her qualifications were clear. Her message of unity and inclusivity was clear. She inspired more excitement than any Dem candidate in years and broke records in her campaign fundraising in the very short time she had to campaign as a late entrant.

She shouldn’t have needed to be a perfect candidate to beat an authoritarian, untrustworthy, unethical, unhinged, and convicted felon candidate.

People chose hate and fear instead. Blame the MAGA cult voters, blame those who sat home and didn’t vote, blame non-MAGA voters who still just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a woman of color because of their own biased discomfort.

"Her message of unity and inclusivity was clear" yep I'm sure the teens digging their siblings out of rubble and mothers holding their children with their insides spilling out heard the message loud and clear.

  1. She wasn't. She was a horrible person, with a horrible record and a horrible immediately recent legacy.

  2. Even if they chose ThePerfectCandidate, with immaculate record: if said candidate defended the previous administration and campaigned on not changing anything except pivoting to the right even more, doubling down on it over and over, not even willing to lie and tell the voters what they would like to hear; they would have eaten this same amount of shit.

  3. Are they in some kind of denial that they legitimately lost?

Yes they are. A number of them have been hanging on to the conspiracy that Elon musk rigged it in trumps favor.

I lost against a popular figure, it must be the nazi-southafrican-russians!

broke records in her campaign fundraising

That’s like losing the World Series but then bragging you had a bigger payroll than the team that won it.

they have their work cut out for them in reframing the loss 2024 as a reason to continue/expand every proxy war and offer no material support to the working class.

it seems the tactic is to frame the trump presidency as collective punishment for every demographic of the typical coalition behind democrats failing to eagerly, enthusiastically abandon any sympathy for the victims of american empire.

that is the calculus at work here: either turn a blind eye and let them die in brutal ultraviolence or the administrative state will be dismantled, the austerity will kick into high gear, the treats will cease to flow, and the professional managerial class will, similar to the less secure working class, be made to fight over smaller crumbs.

so long as they keep the narrative under control and the left away from platforms, the heightened class tensions will struggle to cohere around the working class and instead feed increasing policies and projects of barbarism like we are seeing with the El Salvador deportstions.

Not trying to excuse genocide with feminist messaging. Thats why intersectionally needs to be a component of feminist rhetoric.
