We voted yesterday. Biden won though most people I know voted for Bernie.
Virginia does not register by party so republicans and independents can vote in the democratic primary if they so choose. Don't think many do, though.
French having gender doesn't bother me but German having neuter and then a)not using it for all inanimate objects and b)using it for young women (! Female virgins are neuter!) does. But there is no third-person neutral pronoun in French so him and her are used for inanimate objects, so I'm way more ok with being misgendered in French... As female as a fork/male as a
knife, fine.
Hungarian has no gender. They have words for gendered beings like man or woman, stallion or mare etc, but no grammatical gender and no gendered pronouns, not that they use a lot of pronouns anyway.
