Lest we forget: She was running in the Democrat primary. Republicans wouldn't have had an opportunity to reject her until after she had won the nomination. This is a Democrat race. She has been rejected by other like-thinking people. And yet, the wags reporting on this train wreck of a Democrat primary can't seem to figure out what is happening, because they don't want to spend the energy to actually think.
Sad about Kamala Harris - she didn’t dropped out, she was pushed out by the sexism and racism of our media coverage. She also faced internalization of both in our base that we still need to grapple with.
— Amy Siskind ?????? (@Amy_Siskind) December 3, 2019That is lazy analysis. Harris is out because her message didn't resonate with her own party and she was polling in the low single-digits in HER OWN PARTY. No Republican rejected her; nearly all of her own party rejected her.
It's a humbling experience to be rejected in an election. I know, I've been there. As I've watched this train-wreck of a primary, I often thought that the Democrats could use a little humility.
The worst part of watching this process, though, is the laziness of the media and political analysts. It was neither sexism nor racism that pushed Kamala out of the race. It was her message. Until the media and the the Democrats start doing the hard thinking, they are probably doomed to fail.

I agree with your assessment. And when they lose next November, they will blame Toxic Trump for taking advantage as POTUS having spotlight. I'll worry about them winning when the American working person flocks to their rallys like they do Trump. Not the multi-hued hair ANTIFA skinnies with the signs.
