But I think he misses the point. He says the GOP made this about a culture war, but then he also says, "It's the economy, stupid." No. It;s not the economy/ The economy is the best it's been in my adult lifetime. Heere's what it is:

"It's the MISOGYNY, stupid!

Right and left are economic principles. this has nothing to do woth that. This is Authoritarian (and misgynistic) as opposed to Egalitarian and including women. That's the culture war we lost. It's the same one we lost in 2016.

The minute that Biden dropped out and endorsed Kamala, my heart sank. I immeditately knew we were doomed. And despite the signs which appeared to be in our favor, I never quite made it up to any real cofidence, as hard as I tried.

IT IS NOT MISOGYNISTICE TO REALIZE AND ADMIT THAT MISOGYNY EXISTS AND TO TRY TO AVOID LOSING TO IT.

Yes, he' right that we have to go to the courts and even go judge shopping. But please, let's not lose sight of the misogyny we are up against!
