I explained why Harris and the other supposed finalists were weak choices and why Brown would've been a more popular and better choice electorally. All you're doing is argument by assertion. There isn't any data that supports the idea that the female base of the Dems demanded a female VP pick. It was a stupid decision. I suspect it will turn out there were larger mistakes, like trying to run out the clock with the top of the ticket locked in his basement most of the time. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to think something that cynical and anthithetical to what our system is supposed to be about won't be successful.
