We must come to the realization that America is deeply racist and sexist, incapable of electing a Black, Asian woman to its highest office because of our culture’s innate, widespread, and unreconciled bias and hatred.

If that's true, then why on earth would the DNC do everything in their power to ensure that was the only "choice" available to voters? Do they like losing?

She holds some blame, but at the end of the day there are nearly 18 million people that didn't vote for her, but did vote for biden. The only reasonable conclusion to draw is, well, she's black and even worse: a woman.

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib had no problems keeping their jobs. It's almost like they are different from the all the losers in their party in some way (hint: it's nothing to do with race or gender).
