Although I prefer a personal label of “Curmudgeonly Dinosaur (Male)” to “Old White Man,” I fit and will cheerfully wear either label.
And while I also empathize with Jonna Ramey’s April 30 letter regarding OWMs running for president, the 2020 election is not about promoting non-OWMs over OWMs, or vice versa or, for that matter, even promoting such labels.
I’ve had enough labels, slogans and toots of ill-formed ideas from Trump to last what’s left of my dinosaur lifetime.
Give me an OWM like Joe Biden any day of the week for, while many OWM, OWW and non-OWM or non-OWW progressive ideas make some sense, they simply do not and will not resonate with the many middle-of-the-road voters in swing states, or even myself in Utah.
I'm focused solely on a large enough voting block of people — one that necessarily must include OWMs (and OWWs) — that will boot Trump from office in 2020, not a non-OWM or non-OWW litmus test to achieve that single objective.
