MAGAts rose to prominence because a black man talked down to them (in their eyes).
Dems then tried to run a woman and it failed .. it failed so badly, she lost to an incompetent failed reality TV game show host who was in dire financial straits.
Dems then smartened up and ran a failing white man who was part of the "establishment" and he wiped the floor with the failed reality TV game show host, despite being completely uninspiring.
Dems then tried another woman ... this time doubling down and having her be a minority. She was running, basically, to just continue what the failing old white man had done in his time in his office. And that failed so epically, she lost convincingly to a failed reality TV game show host who was now a felon.
So, the lesson? All the Dems have to do is put forward a middle of the road white dude, and they walk away with this thing. Doesn't matter how awful he is, unless he's a serial killer/rapist or something similar, he'll win the thing walking away (and if he was a serial killer/rapist and a MAGAt, MAGAt would vote for him ... policies, amirite?).
So, who are they leaning toward, to take the reins? A progressive minority woman.
Cool, cool, cool.
It's almost like they WANT to lose and then complain about it.
Note that I'm not saying the obvious bias against women or minorities is a GOOD thing ... just that, it's there ... and people will try to cover that up by claiming that candidate was [insert negative characterization here] and THAT'S why they didn't vote for her ... I'm just pointing out the practical reality of the situation.
And, so, we're left with a substantial portion of the left promoting minority candidates, and yelling "down with the establishment." Good lord. The unmitigated stupidity. A lesson in how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. "OK, guys ... we have them on the ropes ... the Second Reich has been an utter disaster and no one wants a repeat of that ... all we need to do is put a milquetoast white dude up there, and we take back power ... anything else, and we'll revive the fading embers of MAGA hate and push others away from us ... so what are we going to do?!?" "I know, let's do the 'anything else'!"
This is why we can't have nice things.
