Not every woman is going to end up like Clinton. Whitmer will probably win.

Every woman is potentially subject to misogyny - which some folks here will never accept, but I was proven right about Hillary when very few people agreed with me, and it looks like I'll be proven right about Whitmer.

Sexism is a broad problem in most of the world but this year seems somewhat different with how successful female candidates have been. We're seeing a change.

By the way, I must note how interesting it is that you still advocate against sexism in politics yet now identify as a Trumpian Republican. More than likely, someone like that is in denial of sexism.  Embracing the most chauvinistic, toxic masculine President in our country's history, while scorning misogyny is a bit of a confusing ideology.

The left doesn't really care about sexism. It's a lost cause. In politics, the mechanisms are always too vague to get a handle on, it usually manifests itself in very general ways like enthusiasm gaps or unexplained likability/unlikability. So there's no real way to fight against it. You end up looking like an idpol-obsessed idiot chasing phantoms. So I gave up that fight. Stacey Abrams won because her race is more significant than her gender in the eyes of Democrats. Other than that, I have a hard time seeing the Democrats let a woman have the nod for the Governorship of a state was big as Michigan, in this day and age.

Trump has some chauvinistic tendencies but he has hired plenty of women (Press Secretary, CIA Director, DHS Secretary). Misogyny will always be an issue close to my heart but there are more important problems right now.

Anyway, my prediction is El-Sayed, of course.
