@seachanger @Heidentweet Yeah I've been thinking about that trajectory a lot lately.
When he started looking like he had a chance, I thought "oh hell yeah, subaltern identity, fucked up childhood, he's going to aim for deep and abiding structural change β LFG!"
And then he just... protected the status quo. At every turn. That whole 8 year period was such a perfect example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. I feel like I still need to learn more lessons from it.
@inthehands right, that's kind of the point. The people you're asking already acknowledge it. Some may even be taking action to reduce it.
If you want to encourage a broader movement to address misogynoir, it seems helpful to have an explanation for why that hasn't happened already. I mentioned the campaign because that was the original topic. Plus some future Black woman's campaign might benefit.
@inthehands In that case what would the appropriate action(s) be?
Let's say some people need to acknowledge misogynoir. Who are they? How do we get them to acknowledge it? What will change once they do? And, more to the point, what could the Harris campaign have done differently? Let alone regular voters.
(FTR though, I'm with @futurebird. It' seems implausible shedding that many Biden '20 votes, in that many places, was mostly one big problem.)
