I think cultural issues hurt Harris more than we thought, but we cannot abandon our core values.
It would be an empty victory, winning but selling our souls in the process.
It's not an option to stop fighting for marginalized people struggling for acceptance such as trans athletes or tolerating sexualized images of women in video games and other media that dehumanize them. Giving up on these things is too great a price to pay in order to flip a few sexist, racist dudebros to our side.
The real obstacle to winning is ignorance. We must educate more of the public on these issues so that they are not so easily convinced by right wing propaganda in the future.
