When Harris was nominated, I told a friend of mine that my biggest fear was it was going to energize racists and sexists because she was black and a woman. I though she was great candidate, but the level of racism and sexism in this county is beyond insane.
Well it's a good thing your worries were unfounded then because Trump got 72 million votes in 2020, and as of right now he's got those same 72 million votes in 2024. 10 million or so democrats sat out this election compared to 2020 and that's why Harris lost.
Maybe we're a bit more racist and sexist than people are willing to admit?
Or maybe it's not a simple answer? Have you considered actually thinking about what happened instead of looking for a zinger headline?
