@wdlindsy@toad.socialSherrilynn Ifill's commentary on how – and why – race and gender have been excised from analysis of the recent election is must-read analysis.
As she says, the "cohort of political experts" who dissect election results in the media may have particular knowledge and expertise, but "they also very particular blind-spots."

"That may be why we have been subjected to the most tortuous post-election analysis of the most consequential election of the modern era. …
But with shockingly few exceptions, two glaringly obvious factors have been virtually ignored by writers of post-election think-pieces in the nation’s leading journals."
"Understanding the reason for this omission tells us as much about the significance of this election for the future of this country, as the outcome of the election itself. …
The stupefying choice of a majority of white voters to support Trump again – despite his 34 felony convictions, his liability for sexual assault, his attempt to intimidate the judge in his New York defamation trial, his attacks on the Judge’s clerk,"
"the televised revelations by election workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman about how Trump targeted and endangered them, the publicly released recording of Trump demanding 11,000 votes from the Georgia Secretary of State in 2020, and the refusal of 44 members of Trump’s former senior White House team including his Vice President to endorse him, is the story of American democracy at a crossroads. It is *the* story of this election."
@kyozou Yes, that sounds very right to me.
@wdlindsy Funny you should post this

@wdlindsy Wrong Ifill...
@grumpybozo Thank you. I'll correct that stupid mistake. Grateful to you!
@wdlindsy Farris ha sbagliato campagna troppo generica e incerta su economia. Delegittimare e' insufficiente quando il candidato è già candidato.
@anstor06 Who is Farris?
@wdlindsy Because the Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
@soulexpress Always, always the most essential command: Orwell got it right.
