I get tired of white guys opining on women.

“Gender is not my beat”? I think I see a basic problem w/ Nate Silver’s approach to voter analysis. How about letting someone whose “beat” IS “gender” — perhaps a woman! — help you out with your inadequacies there, Nate? Crazy, I know.

“They prefer the implication that women/minorities are the ones who are finally ‘ready,’ not the system itself.” Exactly. Privileged white men, the architects of modern-day American patriarchy, will always view any defects in their structure as having been the fault of whomever they are oppressing at the moment — and never, ever admit you’ve done anything wrong. Well, at least Kamala won’t have to hear “You should smile more!” all the time from the Male Gaze Authorities.

Stephen, as usual you’ve knocked it out of the park. Yes yes yes to everything you’ve brilliantly written here. Thank you!
