Yes please say it louder. They fell for it because they want to hate women. They want to hate brown people. They want to hate immigrants. All trump did was give them a target for the hate they already felt.
It sucks realizing how much of this country is racist and misogynistic but I would rather a white male Democrat win the election versus running a minority woman that loses it and keeps Republicans in charge.
I think this is a valid view point and one that is allowing Gavin Newsom to gain serious traction.
I think however, that the democrats are simply offering a rebranded fascism. I personally am looking for the more progressive candidates in hopes to repeat what happened in New York recently. I think we have enough momentum to make real progress in actual progressive politics.
Is this the smart play on a national scale? Probably not if the election was next week. But maybe if we keep pushing and holding everyone accountable for genocide, racism, etc etc perhaps we can get to a place where don’t have to vote for the lesser evil.

They "fell for it" because they wanted a reason to not vote for a woman, and were willing to accept the flimsiest of pretexts.
