Farida Jalalzai, a scholar of gender in politics, on America’s glass ceiling: “I can’t say it was a main reason Kamala Harris lost. But what I can say is it was a factor that contributed to her lack of support, especially when you compare her performance with Joe Biden’s in the same places and with almost all of the same voting groups he won in 2020.”

Nope. More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than for Donald in 2016. Kamala Harris was handicapped by having only 100 days to campaign, and she did a helluva job in that time. Donald's been running for 4 years. And running his mouth for 40.
Legacy media failed by repeating propaganda instead of countering that crap with factual information.

@suedorazio Another view on that point: theconversation.com/what-shoul…

What should journalists do when the facts don’t matter?

Historical examples abound of American news consumers being presented with verified facts about controversial figures or events, only to have the excellent journalism have little to no effect.
