Did it take a trump to get rid of Raygun? I worry about the sexism because as long as it persists in the rampant stage we saw in the year +, it will grow into a bigger and bigger problem. Not long ago on this site, the howls and calls for Nancy P. to go filled up posts. Her experience and ability to get the job done didn't count as worthy. Newer, younger faces was the insistent demand. And yes we need the party to keep on keeping on and the young are a crucial part of that continuity but I find the recent ageism very dispiriting.
