Also, establishment democrats fundamentally misunderstand what attracts people to women candidates because their understand of feminism hasn’t updated since the 60s just like their strategy.

I appreciate everything you say, but this fully knocked me over. Like, OF COURSE?? But also I guess I needed to read what you said specifically. Thank you, Imani.
I think a lot of folks don't get that much of the current Dem leadership was in their teens & twenties when the Southern Strategy started, so at some level they still think of hyper-conservative bigots as "lost Dems" that need to be appealed to and brought back into the fold
makes sense why their takeaway from this election is "we can never run a woman again" and not "we need to run a progressive and not someone appealing to conservatives" like voters have been saying.
