    Sexism and racism seems like an obvious answer and one that it’s easy to find evidence for the existence of. But if you break it down a bit further, sexists and racists vote Republican anyway.

      You have a voter turnout of about 60%. That’s nothing. If all of your sexists and rapists were republicans, you’d have significantly less than 30% sexists and racists. But I strongly suspect that only a fraction of your republicans can be called blatant sexists and racists. Hint: The world isn’t black and white and sexism and racism are systematic problems that can’t be boiled down to left vs right.

        She was also unlikable as a person. I don’t think I even heard much from her until she was foisted into running for president.
