Yes, we do. Reaching for racism/sexism as an answer is convenient because it absolves Biden and Harris of any responsibility for the loss.

After Clinton and Harris you're willing to spin the wheel with another woman candidate? Or a person of color? That's some mighty wishful thinking. I'm happy to be proven wrong but 2 losing woman-led campaigns out of 3 is the best survey yet.

I don't "spin wheels" or engage in "wishful thinking". I spend years collecting and crunching candidate and election data, meeting with candidates and observing them in the field. As for "two out of two" women candidates, I'll point out that Clinton got MORE votes than Trump in 2016.

Sincere question: Can you point me to any evidence that race/sex weren't the deciding factors in either 16 or 24?
