If Kamala even bothered to try to appeal to Trump's demographic to siphon some of them, she may have stood a chance.
Don't think it's a gender thing so much as falling into all the Dem tropes, coming off an administration with poor approval ratings and not expressing an appetite to deviate in any way or correct on some obvious blemishes, and not adapting to the times by paying more attention to the influence of SM podcasters and similar personalities (but instead sticking to door knocking and traditional media thinking it would have the same or better influence).
Trump adjusted well from his 2020 loss. Even though I laughed at the suggestion of it at the time, his podcast tour in the final weeks as well as having the influence of x probably did tip the scales. These are the times we live in.
