2022 races (and 2021 for weird commonwealths like Virginia)

Seems weird to criticize Republicans for being more tolerant of our 80yo white male president, when those same characteristics helped him defeat women and POC in the Democratic Primary.

Is it? They speak racism/sexism and revel in it. It's consistent.

Is your point that white men have an advantage in US politics?
 
Seems weird that there’s no hate to motivate the crowd that flies flags and wears t-shirts that say “Fuck Joe Biden” and “Let’s Go Brandon”.

I think a default preference for old white guys is a product of American white supremacist culture which both parties are guilty of. Just seems absurd to criticize Republicans for seemingly preferring our current white president to our lone Black ex-President. None of us would have jumped for joy over a Ben Carson or Herman Cain Presidency.
 
Sure. But none of us were happier about a Trump presidency because he was an old white guy either.

You seem to be making an obvious point but using it as a roundabout knock on Biden even though the runner-up to Biden was also an old white man.

Not knocking Biden, just think it’s a ridiculous criticism. “We prefer our white guy for non-racist reasons, but they prefer our white guy for racist reasons.” Anyway, it’s not worth arguing about further.
