Yeah we really should be anti electability, because the arguments include sexism and racism.
The other issue with electability argument is that it’s too meta and circular. Candidate A can have a popular policy X that everyone wants, and candidate B can have policy Y that most people hate, but instead of picking a policy we want and everyone wants we ignore that and just say “this trait is electable because I say other people think it’s electable trait”.
I rather people pick policies that candidates present instead of “I think this guy in the general will win”
