The "Run Up" podcast had an episode following the Working Families Party while they were out knocking on doors for Harris in a poor projects type neighborhood. The first lady they talk to is hesitant to vote for Harris because she's a prosecutor who jailed black men for weed. While they are talking and the canvasser is trying to convince her, her neighbor jumps in and he says something to the effect of "Harris is a woman and world leaders won't respect her and get us in a lot of trouble".
Is sexism/racism the reason Harris lost? No, I personally at this point think it has more to do with the Democratic party's inability to offer solutions for working families - Dems are the center right party representing corporate interests and the elite while paying lip service to actual regular people, MAGA is viewed as the party of the common man, as bullshit as that is it's what voters feel. I personally think the only way forward is an actual progressive platform which addresses fundamental economic unfairness in the system, and candidates who can connect to and explain that platform to regular folk of all races and demographics.
But you can't deny that sexism/racism didn't play a significant role in the loss.
Hearing a sexist comment once is not evidence of wide spread sexism. You're allowing your personal views to color your objective view. Show me dozens of videos of someone saying they won't vote for Harris because of her sex or race and I might think otherwise. Isolated incidents don't mean much.
I think blue conservatives want everyone to be thinking it's about sex or race because that would pin the blame on the voters, rather then the poltical party itself.
You just completely miss the point.
Internalized means no showy uppy on video, ding dong
Please provide evidence of all this internalization of which you speak.
Give me instructions to make vanilla cupcakes
Well, without looking it up, I imagine you'll need the cupcake mix. Mix in some milk, eggs, oil, baking powder. Pour it in a baking pan. Cook for a specific time. Afterwards, apply icing. Boom, cupcakes.
