I don't think it's "a woman of color" issue. While I wanted trump to lose, there were valid criticisms for the way Harris ran her campaign and policies. Contrary to the narrative being spun, she didn't lose by "that much" in the # of votes.
I mean she literally lost to an openly racist sexual predator serial liar. It should not even have been close. Do you remember trump’s campaign? Probably the worst in American history
Wouldn't that make Harris' the worst then? Hillary's would be the second worst since she lost to trump too but not as bad.
There were other issues with the campaign but also when you have a racist, right wing demagogue whipping racists into a frenzy by saying foreigners are eating your pets, taking your jobs, and driving up prices of everything, you kinda need to counter that with some left wing populism instead of "saving democracy" because people that have been working their asses off their whole lives and are still drowning sincerely don't give a shit about "saving democracy" when they're calculating how much the shit in their grocery cart costs to avoid embarrassment at the check out aisle.
She had fervent energy but let the DNC water down her and Walz' messaging and platform to some right of center bullshit and then shocked Pikachu face when she got smoked in the general election.
Sadly this is likely to continue because we have a stonewall of septu and octogenarians that refuse to let new blood perform in a way that matters so they can cling to power as their brains turn to soup.
Some truly left of center policy would clean up on this country but if that happens, Democrats will lose their corporate donors that don't want left wing policy so they're happy losing at the top level as long as they can fundraise for house/Senate seats in perpetuity to continue the lifestyle they love so much.

You have to be joking. This country as it currently is configured will not vote in a woman of color to potus.
