    No matter how many times you say it, it doesn’t make it true. When a woman runs against a known rapist, felon, racist con man and loses (twice!) yet a borderline demented white man wins (with essentially the same platform), it is much more likely that voters are misogynists than “because of her platform”.

      Biden only managed to win because of how Trump fucked up COVID. But since voters have goldfish memories, it didn’t hurt him again four years later.
