Israel ads this fall praising Vice President Kamala Harris for marrying a Jewish man and backing the Jewish state. Jews in Pennsylvania, meanwhile, saw ads from the same group with the opposite message: Harris wanted to stop U.

The Tennessean's letters reflect the views of the authors and add to public discourse. At issue: Rebuttal to gender being why Kamala Harris lost.

Some critics think Kamala Harris failed sufficiently to “pivot to the center” when the Trump campaign was pounding her as “radical communist”; others believe she erred by failing to go hard-core lefty populist.

No, wait, the reason Kamala Harris lost the election was because she didn’t have enough time to introduce herself to the American people. No, that’s not it, either. Harris lost because she focused too much on Donald Trump and not enough on her own agenda.

So, if you really want to understand why VP Harris and the Democrats lost, don’t blame misogynist Latino males or “the White man”. Look inward and self-assess before placing blame on those around you.
