Sexists & racists are usually pretty obvious & dont care if you know it.
I'm not a sexist. And labeling an opinion as sexism is easy, but changes nothing. Like i said, there are different opinions of men as well. Some fair, some not so much.
If you're going to get into politics you'd better get used to different people having different opinions of you. Reaching for the racism or sexism label for ALL of them isnt gonna win any MORE votes for that particular candidate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
