Yup, just too ‘woman’, which is why Elizabeth Warren was comfortably in second or third for almost the entire race and only tanked after she went
voters, extremely shy from Hillary’s loss, were afraid that [Kamala] was too Black
Yes because if Hillary’s loss indicated anything it’s that a black person can’t win. This is definitely a coherent analysis.
I feel that only the democratic party gives half a fuck about “middle [America]” and the people who are waffling between the two candidates. I’m sure you could get a fuck ton of votes doing something, anything popular instead of talking about bullshit Marvel slop quotes to try and convince someone whose high fructose corn syrup coated neurons couldn’t conjure a coherent ideology any faster than infinite monkies could.
It’s a dogshit analysis.
Democratic party analysts, either because they’re incompetent or because they’re always looking for ways to triangulate to the right (or possibly both) imagine that anyone who is not a loyal member and consistent voter of either party exists precisely in the center of the Overton window.
Why are we still doing “too black” as an excuse after having a black president for 8 years?
My theory: I think framing like this is an attempt to create infighting on the left. I remember her doing poorly because she’s center right and wasn’t the most well known center right dem in the 2020 race. Notably Biden had similar positions and was much more widely known.
No, racism isn’t over, I get that. But I also don’t think Obama is a onetime novelty. I think he offered enough, well at least the illusion of enough, material benefit to sway voters. The biggest problem Kamala had in 2020, and even now, was that she really didn’t have anything to offer voters to set her apart from the field.
it’s wild to me that anyone tries to argue that normal people vote based on how they think a candidate will “appeal to the middle of the country”. have these people ever talked to a human in real life that they weren’t paying?
I agree, Hillary was too black.
