1. Misoginia y Racismo como Causa Principal.
La mayoría de los comentarios atribuyen la derrota de Kamala Harris a una combinación de misoginia y racismo profundamente arraigados en el electorado estadounidense. Se argumenta que estos factores fueron decisivos, superando cualquier otro aspecto de la campaña o la política, y se establece un paralelismo con la derrota de Hillary Clinton en 2016.
- Misogyny along with racism is the real reason he won, both times. He won by 1.5% over harris. It only took 2% of the population not to “stomach” a woman at the helm. Especially a black woman. Media won’t address the issue of misogyny and the election.
- Harris lost because she is a woman. Hilary lost because she is a woman. Say what you will, but misogyny trumps racism here.
- Argue about how trump won all you want but the biggest factors to harris's loss where misogyny and racism in that order.
- Racism and misogyny are why harris lost. Full stop. And this is just more proof of that.
- Misogyny is why hillary and harris lost to trump. Notice he lost to a man. A large swath of americans, especially evangelicals, just will not vote for a woman to be president. Dem leaders need to accept this and plan accordingly.
- Let me introduce you to the concept of misogyny and racism. The only reason that harris lost the election. And if you don’t understand that it’s because you’re probably misogynist and racist too.
2. El Factor "Misogynoir": La Intersección de Prejuicios.
Varios usuarios señalan el concepto de "misogynoir" para describir el prejuicio específico que enfrentan las mujeres negras. Sostienen que la derrota de Harris no puede entenderse sin considerar la intersección única de racismo y misoginia, un obstáculo que consideran insuperable en el clima político actual.
- Kamala harris lost for a wide variety of reasons. Yes, misogyny and racism - also misogynoir, were a part of those reasons. They were not all of them though. I know a few who didn't vote for her, and that was for policy issues alone.
- I picked it up in the aftermath of the 2024 election—when kamala harris, one of the most qualified candidates in u.s. History, lost to a white man known for racism, misogyny, fraud, and utter incompetence. That outcome wasn’t about policy; it was about misogynoir.
- Harris lost because she was a woman of color. The racism misogyny combo was too strong. You could be right, and probably are, but that wasn’t the underlying cause.
- The worst act of misogyny in world history was electing trump over clinton in 2016 but the worst act of racist misogyny was re-electing him over harris. We'll be paying for this for decades. And for what?
3. Contraargumentos: Campaña, Políticas y Otros Factores.
Una minoría de opiniones cuestiona que la misoginia y el racismo sean las únicas explicaciones. En su lugar, apuntan a una campaña electoral deficiente, políticas impopulares, la asociación con una administración Biden con baja aprobación o la falta de carisma como razones clave de la derrota, considerando que culpar a la intolerancia es una simplificación excesiva.
- Blaming racism and misogyny is a cop out. Harris ran a terrible campaign. A black woman who ran unambiguously on popular economic policies would have kicked trump's ass. "only white guys can win" is the wrong lesson. A populist can win. Dems lost because they ran a wall st puppet.
- Harris didnt lose because of misogyny, she lost because she didnt run a good campaign.
- I can hold two ideas in my head at once, ma'am. I can admit that misogyny exists and it's also not what caused her to lose. Hillary won the popular vote against trump and everyone fucking hates her. Oh, it was because harris only had 100 days? she was also the vp for 4 years! she sucks.
- Such a tired chestnut, the “trump only won because misogyny”. It’s bullshit. Pure bullshit. Both clinton and harris were terrible candidates who ran terrible campaigns. Their genitals were not what lost them their races, their terrible campaigns did that.
- Blaming misogyny and racism alone for kamala harris’s defeat is short-sighted. Yes, they played a role, but let’s be honest: she polled under 2% in 2020, lacked strong domestic and global leadership as vp, and failed to connect with young voters or progressives.
- Misogyny is a made up excuse. We both acknowledged hillary won the popular vote over a man. Harris lost not because she’s a woman but because she went all in on genocide. She’s a bad dude.
4. Análisis del Comportamiento Electoral.
Los comentarios también analizan datos y comportamientos específicos del electorado. Se destaca la caída de votos demócratas en comparación con la elección de Biden en 2020, así como los cambios en el apoyo de grupos demográficos clave, como los hombres de diversas etnias, lo que sugiere que la identidad de la candidata influyó directamente en la participación y la decisión de voto.
- Misogyny comes into it too. The 15 million people who voted for biden in 2020 didn't vote for clinton or harris.
- Harris got 6 million *fewer* votes than biden, and trump got 3 million *more* than he got in 2020. This was not an election won on the margins or by the electoral college. Trump, who'd lost by 7 million votes in 2020, won by 2 million.
- Misogyny is the clearer one. Looking at the summary charts, harris performed worse compared to biden 2020 with men whether white, black, or hispanic. As a matter of population, each % shift of white voters means more votes than shifts in other demographics. Straight up can’t vote for the woman. 2/3.
- "it's why we lost"-no, it's not. Misogyny is.there was about an 8 million vote drop between biden and harris because some democrats and indies decided they didn't want a woman as president.can we at least be honest?
- The data shows black males certainly did not show up for harris nearly as much as they showed up for biden. Draw your own conclusions. Misogyny.
