That is a different subject, but Harris is a woman and black which was an even harder sell.

Harris got about half the votes in 2024. It wasn't a MAGA mandate as Trump insists.

And her campaign missteps were Israel and courting the right while people were still hurting from the economy. She also was at a disadvantage due to Biden's resignation from the race and the lack of a primary.

The voters who don't like women and non-whites are already Trump loyalists, and will stay that way even as their kids starve.

From what I see here, it's folly to run a centrist neoliberal Democrat. Those who care about platform want something bold, progressive and public-serving. Those who don't care about platform vote Republican.
