Try reading more carefully, I said it was a partisan rant, and it was. I don't have to know your political leanings to know what you said was clearly a partisan rant.
Talking to people who behave like racists, doesn't make them not racists. Refusing to call out racism because it might offend the racists simply isn't something decent people should be willing to do. If you can't see truth in the lefts claims of racism, and they are true, it's very likely because you yourself don't recognize racism when you see it likely because you're so normalized to it or you're unaffected by it and unwilling to understand your experience isn't the same as everyone else's.
The left didn't lose because they called people out on their racism/etc, they lost because so many people are racist/etc that Trump was able to find an audience and combined with an electoral system that favors rural voters and thus land over people, he was able to win while getting far less votes than his competitor; he literally won on a technicality. Trump is a straight up racist who demonstrated this fact time and time again, so much so he got the KKK's endorsement and support from ignorant folk from all over the country.
That you blame those pointing out the problem instead of those who are the problem is quite telling. I have no problem talking to people of different opinions and do so often, but racism isn't merely a difference of opinion, it's a form of oppression and violence and can't simply be ignored by slapping a euphemism of "different opinion" on it. When you oppress other people, whether it be women or people of color, you are not just having "different opinions" and it's dishonest to attempt to label it as such.
You're very quick to categorize things. Not really my problem. It is neither a rant nor partisan simply because you disagree.
If the left were busy educating and informing people about their racism in constructive ways, they would not have lost. I do this. Plenty of other left-leaning people I know do this. But this is not what "the left" as a whole does, at all. The left spent this election vilifying and labeling people as racist, and that is not constructive. And honestly, it doesn't matter if you agree, that is how people felt and that is what drew them to Trump. He treated them like idiots, but he made them feel good rather than bad. If you want to call that "winning because of racism" fine.
