Summary
Many Democrats, especially women, expressed disillusionment and frustration online, viewing the result as a reflection of deep-seated misogyny in the U.S.
Harris supporters highlighted anger that a “felony convicted, twice-impeached” Trump prevailed over a female candidate.
Comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss resurfaced, with many attributing Trump’s win to targeted appeals to young men, including appearances with influencers like Joe Rogan.
The election outcome has intensified concerns over growing right-wing radicalization among young men.
Misogyny is an easy excuse that doesn’t question the effectiveness of any of the politicians or consultants involved in the race. People forget that Biden only barely won what should have been an easy race. Now the difference between losing and barely winning is a big deal, but they all ran pretty similar campaigns trying to get the “good Republicans” while neglecting their base. Maybe Biden’s shriveled dick was the difference to get him to barely squeak past Trump while a woman wouldn’t, but none of these races should have been close. There’s a much bigger problem at play than “just don’t run women because too sexist”.
I’m with you. Some of the simplicity of this is what’s going to keep these cycles going.
Not defending bidens record here but are you really dissing an 81 yo dick? You think anyone has a girthy hog at 81?
Arnold Palmer maybe.
Also, is this post serious? Because I’m assuming someone taking offense about colorful language about an old man’s penis can’t possibly be so, but it’s being played very straight that this is a real thing worthy of conversation.
Huh? I just think it’s weird to bring up as like, a burn.
We’re a mile down in a Lemmy thread, nothing here is serious.

Oh, you’re the person who thinks I like Jill Stein for some reason. You’re clueless.
He won by more than she lost by. It’s not an excuse, it’s just a part of the equation that cannot be ignored.
And? It’s been 4 years and a lot of factors have changed. If kamala didn’t engage with those 20 mil who felt Biden made promises he didn’t deliver and kamala has no plans to change anything then that could explain it. Blaming this purely on gender without any justification is just careless. Although I’m pretty sure the dems will see this as “women can’t win” rather than “we’re deeply out of touch and need real reform”.
No one said “purely” that’s ridiculous to begin with but also I chose my words carefully. seems like some of you really don’t want to face this for some reason
In a win as close as his, that’s not saying anything particularly significant. Biden’s win was what, 80,000 votes or so?
…if we are talking popular vote, hell no, it was several million, more than 5, which is what she lost by. If you don’t even remember this basic fact about it, why the hell make any argument at all?
He didn’t win by 5 million. Running up the numbers in California doesn’t win you the White House. He won in a few swing states by nail-biting margins.
