... and it is the sad truth.

Besides, Harris's campaign wasn't what sunk her. It was a lot of conservative and middle roader, usually Democratic voters who felt they were being ignored and voted for TACO because somehow they felt the Democratic Party was ignoring them for "minorities", which is code for women, PoC, LGBT and non Christians. And most importantly: they just stayed home.

Thanks for helping me see straight.
