"Why couldn't Harris win, despite having broadly the same planks in her platform as Biden, but slightly better and more popular?"

that's racism my dude

"Why did her proposed policies appeal to male voters, but NOT when her name was associated with them?"

that's called sexism

"What could possibly explain this loss? She must just be UNCHARISMATIC."

I can only assume every media pundit in the country is wired to a car battery and gets a shock every time they use the words "racism" or "sexism."
