    We can point fingers at demographics, and certainly that may have been a part, but its reductive to say just sexism. If we accept any single reason, there will be no reason to improve our platforms.

    You’ve got Democratic leaning media blaming the dems for being too woke… and more than half the country just didn’t vote. We need a platform that argues in favor of worker and individual rights alike while not capitulating on either, because as soon as you do capitulate to the right, you lose support, plain and simple.

      When the only voters who sat out were white and hispanic men then what would be the logical reason?

      Why didn’t women sit out this election at the same rates? Why not any other groups besides white and hispanic men?

      What other conclusions can you even draw for these specific groups that have masculinity issues than not voting for a woman?

        We cant split hairs on demographic turnout if overall turnout is way down from 2020, I mean we can make Latinos a scapegoat, but again we’re completely subverting critique that could actually help win an election.
