I'm honestly curious: you think people didn't vote for Harris because she was a black woman? What would you estimate the split is between people for whom that is their legitimate reason, and people who just found her to be a bad candidate?

Also curious: you use celebrity endorsements as a goalpost for what should make people care enough to vote. Why? Given the wacky things they often get up to I'd almost see their endorsement as a negative.

It somehow feels like the serious tone of first and last paragraphs is masking the sarcasm in the middle.

I agree.

We should listen to BIPOC and female voices. It's our responsibility for what we did to them.

I'm equally honestly curious: what objective and rational evaluation criteria, unaffected by gender and race, would one use to conclude that Trump is a better candidate than Harris?
