But if it was, then you need to be asking why, in an election they claimed was existential, the Democratic Party anointed a black woman to run as their candidate against Trump.
Because that's the conclusion of the excuse you're making - that the Democrats can only nominate men, or they're choosing to lose.
It was obvious the party was cooked in 2018 - when, in response to regaining power after losing in a great upset to an insane game show host, they kept the exact same leadership.
My point is if you believe the US is incapable of electing a woman candidate (which is what the people who claim, falsely, that Harris lost because of sexism are doing), then isn't nominating a woman candidate choosing to lose the election?
Exactly. People forget that Biden in 2020 under performed polls, and it's pretty clear that absent COVID he would have lost.
