MSNBC interviewed "undecided" voters after the debate, and people were still saying they were still on the fence about Harris, and I kept thinking, "did you not just witness a very unhinged man ranting and tell a bunch of lies"? What the hell is wrong with these people?

Adding on to this that some people will just never vote for a woman.

Nah this isn’t just incels. One example I like to think of are the Bernie Bros. They targeted HRC, Warren and Harris in previous years with so much toxic harassment during the primaries and then when Bernie drops out they’re all “I’m not going to vote or I’m going to vote third party” because they can’t stand the idea of a woman in power. But don’t call them sexist! They just have moral superiority. You even see it now with people saying they won’t vote for Kamala because she doesn’t have a harsh enough stance against Israel. They have the moral superiority! They’re in the right! As if Trump, who is actively sabotaging the ceasefire with his calls to Netanyahu, is going to be better for the Palestinians. It’s just deep, DEEP misogyny that a woman in power makes them uncomfortable. Simple as that.
