1. El Racismo y la Misoginia como Factores Decisivos.
Esta perspectiva sostiene que la principal razón de la derrota demócrata radica en el racismo y la misoginia profundamente arraigados en la sociedad estadounidense, incluso dentro de las filas del propio partido. Los votantes, según este argumento, no estaban dispuestos a elegir a una candidata mujer y de color, independientemente de sus políticas o la campaña.
- Get real people. There are only two reasons dems lost, racism and misogyny. They were not going to elect a black woman no way no how.
- Racismi and misogyny lost the election for democrats. We have done nothing to stop this terrible flaw in our culture. We will lose again until we have the true battle for equality.
- The dems lost because too many dems stayed at home because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a black woman. The repugnants aren't the only ones with a racism and misogyny problem.
- I am 100% convinced the misogyny is the reason that both hrc and kh were not elected. I also think that despite positive policies and messages, the diversity of the democratic party is why more whites vote for republicans.
- This! i am so tired of anyone blaming dems for what has transpired. Dems are the only group who has brought progress to everyone. Their messaging was never a problem. Our systemic racism and misogyny is the problem.
2. Los Fallos del Partido como Causa Principal.
En contraposición, esta visión argumenta que culpar al racismo y la misoginia es una excusa para que la cúpula del partido evite asumir la responsabilidad por una campaña deficiente, políticas neoliberales y la incapacidad de conectar con las necesidades económicas de la clase trabajadora.
- It was not misogyny. It was not racism. The democrats ran a shitty campaign on more neoliberal hypercapitalism and capitulating to the far right. That's why they lost.
- The point of blaming "racism" & "misogyny" is to avoid discussing things the democratic party could get better on.
- Democrats always blame racism and misogyny. Yet they never seem capable of running on policies that would transcend those limitations.
- It’s not misogyny or racism it’s the fucking economy and corporations over people, stupid.
- Aye, hide behind race and misogyny when it's all about status quo or change. The democrats lost because they didn't offer a cohesive manifesto that appealed to the legitimate concerns of people suffering under the current system.
3. Una Interacción Compleja de Factores.
Una tercera corriente de opinión sugiere que la derrota no puede atribuirse a una única causa. Sostiene que el racismo y la misoginia son realidades innegables que influyeron en el resultado, pero que se entrelazaron con errores estratégicos, un mensaje populista débil y la incapacidad del partido para ofrecer soluciones económicas y un cambio real al status quo.
- Racism and misogyny and economics are often intertwined; people are looking for solutions, if not that, scapegoats. Dems provided neither. Ergo, they lost. To just pin blame solely on "waggh racism misogyny" is the true absurdity.
- We do have a problem with misogyny and racism in this country and also, the democrats need to stop trying to appeal to “centrists” that lean right wing. Both can be true.
- The loss was due to a complex set of factors. And yes, the rampant misogyny & racism in our country was *one* factor.
- Misogyny and white supremacy definitely play a part in why they won, but i think this post also really downplays how badly dems fumbled like, everything lmao. Particularly their colossal failure at delivering an aggressive populist message and promising any change at all from the status quo.
- You're not wrong that misogyny and racism were factors, i think, but i strongly disagree that it wasn't politics. We're seeing pretty clear signs that people are tired of dems—not for being too woke as so many consultants and pundits insist, but for trying to be gop-lite rather than help people.
