The Oxford comma is a must, and here's why:
"The U.S. President, a racist, and a misogynist." (Barack Obama, David Duke, Andrew Tate)
"The U.S. President, a racist and a misogynist." (Donald Trump)
- foobar1962 3y agoI'd write that using a colon instead of the first comma, thus: "The U.S. President: a racist and a misogynist." (Donald Trump)
- wolverine876 3y agoThat would be a misuse of the colon: The Chicago Manual (sec 6.67) advises against using it "in what would otherwise constitute a grammatical sentence", and only after an indepedent clause (though an assumed verb is allowed).
