Kamala Harris’s loss this week to Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election, had me thinking about sexism, race and the issue of character.
It’s now clear that the cost of living, crime and border/immigration anxieties soured voters on the Democratic party, Biden and Harris. She carried that baggage to a humiliating defeat. But as several pundits and everyday citizens also declared before and after election night, “America just isn’t ready for a female president.”
Toxic misogyny runs deep and is so bred into the body politic in the U.S. that it can’t be discounted as impacting Harris’ fortunes significantly.
She seems nice.
