If Biden’s VP had been a staight, white man, he might have won. The US is a sexist, racist, generally bigoted place. If you ask someone on a phone survey if they would vote for a woman, many of them will say yes. They may not even be lying, they just believe they’re not sexist until it’s actually time to vote, and then they come up with some excuse to justify why they didn’t vote for the woman.
To be honest, I’m still surprised that Obama won. But, the whole Tea Party thing, and then Trump was all in reaction to a black man being elected president.

I have my own theory about that…
Basically people were willing to vote for a black president to prove that they weren’t racist, but when he actually won, that was a bridge too far.
