Good, clear headed summary, Rui.
I will add into,the mix that Harris had additional strikes against her . Woman, Black.Indian.
America is nowhere near as forward thinking as one might think. Still racist and old style thinking. Add in the Baptist religious types.
Additionally, Harris has one of the most wimpy manners of speaking. She should have had vocal coaches teaching her proper speaking skills.
Even if you are delivering a pack of lies, if you are able to do so in a commanding way, you will get your message across. Kind of ties into what you were saying.😈
