AOC is going to get beat, and I would imagine a Dem will do it. Ilhan Omar will get beat, by anyone with a brain, just like the other two of "the squad". The squad increases Joe Biden's chances every day, and, as people get to know Bernie and Warren, their popularity will drop even more. Buttigieg is too conservative for African Americans, and "too gay" for everyone else (since I have never cared a whit about who is sleeping with whom, I don't care about Buttigieg - but I don't think America is ready). I am not sure America is ready for a woman President, either. I am pretty sure DJT will be reelected. I am not a fan, but I don't see an acceptable alternative for the mass of American voters.
AGreed, but I also see a huge problem with this new sense that anyone that disagrees with a woman is now automatically a sexist. Shoot, my wife and I disagree on a ton of stuff and she has never called me a sexist in any way. Since when do we get evil labels on our heads because we disagree with someone else? Oh, that;s right... since PC had become the new yardstick in America. Like in Palo Alto California where all mentions of "man" in a title now have to be neuter neutral. No more postman. Mail delivery persons are now what gets your mail to the house. Fireman... Uh uh...Flame dousal person or something like that.
No one will admit it, but women have always been sexist toward men. Ask any wife, and she will tell you what insufferable neanderthals we are. And, if we are smart, we will say, "yes, Dear", and "you're right" in order to preserve domestic bliss. Women are just as obnoxious as men when it comes to objectifying men's looks, and we love it.
Now, when I hear a woman say something derogatory about men, I will call them out - not because I care, but just to remind them that sexism goes both ways. I have had black defendants claim racism at trial, and I will tell the jury that the only racist is the defendant.
I just don't abide identity politics, and political correctness. I treat people with respect, but still open doors (for everyone), say yes, ma'am (Senator Boxer got pissed about that), stand up when a woman enters the room, hold their chair at a restaurant, etc. Does that make me sexist? I would stay late at work and walk female coworkers to their cars when it was dark. Not one ever complained, but I am sure that was sexist of me. I had a New York aunt get mad when I said yes, ma'am, but I reminded her I was raised right, and said yes, sir, too. She got it. Manners? Old fashioned, yes, but I have them.
Notice how women never claim that a man paying for the whole date is sexist? Or demanding jewelry on Valentine's Day when they get their man a card?

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

Mail men have been "Postal carriers" for years now. Firemen are now 'firefighters'. Policemen are "Police Officers" (what?? No "Police Enlisted"?? )
I saw the coming "correction" years ago...when some ultra-radical feminists INSISTED on the use of the word 'womyn' instead of 'women'. They hate men so much that they INSIST of removing "that word" from 'women'!!!
Wondering now what the singular form of 'womyn' is...'Five womyn' as opposed to 'one womyn'?
