Classy move.

I love it when women have each other's backs. It's not necessary for women to always endorse other women candidates. But it's important for them to make sure they don't undermine each other.

If you really believe that sexism played no role in Elizabeth Warren's inability to stay in the race, do you believe that sexism no longer affects presidential politics?

If you think sexism does still affect presidential politics, why don't you think it didn't affect Elizabeth Warren's race?

If you think sexism doesn't currently affect presidential politics, do you believe sexism was EVER an issue in presidential politics? If not, what non-sexism explanation do you have for why no woman has ever been elected president, if sexism played no role?

If you think sexism doesn't currently affect presidential politics but did in the past, when precisely do you believe that sexism stopped being an issue? What specifically prompted the change from sexism being an issue to sexism not playing any role?

Thank you in advance.

those of us who felt the same way about Kamala Harris' departure had been shown the same empathy and time and space that many are now insisting they be given to grieve Warren's departure.

I especially wish that everyone explaining the role that sexism played in Warren's inability to continue in the race had been as willing to recognize the role that sexism and racism played in Harris' inability to continue her campaign. Instead, we were told to stop complaining: "race and gender had nothing to do with it," "she was playing by the same rules as everyone else," "she just didn't have what it takes," "no one forced her out of the race, it was her choice," etc.

The playing field is NOT level for women and people of color, and female and minority candidates do have a more difficult time and face considerably greater obstacles that white male candidates simply don't have to deal with. And pretending this doesn't exist or telling the people who try to explain it that we are overreacting only compounds and ingrains the problem. And recognizing its existence only in certain instances while ignoring and dismissing it in others is disrespectful to allies and further rubs salt in the wounds.

Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris and Amy Klobuchar were treated differently than the men in the race. Period. It's not certain any of them would have gotten the nomination if it had been a fair fight, but I do know that gender and race got in the way and ensured we'll never know.

And his excuse is because he didn't think Clyburn would endorse him.

Seriously?

Or will he continue to fight for the nomination?

His body language, finger waving, non-smiling affect, lack of warmth are off-putting.

I know that demeanor isn't everything, but it does count for something. And I wonder how a female or minority candidate would be viewed and assessed if if they appeared this way.

That is all.
