being a brown woman isnt the reason people didnt vote for kamala, they didn't vote for her because she flipflopped on all her "lets actually change things" speaking points so fast it broke records. could see immediately when the establishments donors cracked her whip.

the kinds of people who wouldn't vote for a woman/brown person are never voting for anyone other than a republican anyway, i guarantee you

It's definitely debatable on the exact percentage, but I saw many interviews of people on the street who were mostly unaware politically, and the first thing they said they either didn't vote or voted Trump was because they didn't think a woman was emotionally strong enough to lead the country.

Actually after writing that paragraph I looked it up. Four in 10 Americans say they know someone who would not vote for a woman president.
