    I don’t agree with this take. Most of the people who wouldn’t vote for a woman of color for that reason wouldn’t vote for Dems in the first place.

    The failure of Kamala and Hillary was in trying to pander to the so-called moderate swing voter crowd which largely doesn’t exist.

    Refusing to run a strong woman candidate to appease racists is not how you win.

      They know. It’s just an excuse to shut out progressives.
