Buttigieg Presidential Campaign

[TV and credit cards]

Buttigieg gives the clearest sign yet about his next steps
From the article it sure looks promising. Many will not vote for him because he is gay and the First Hubby thing just doesn't set well with them. Many on the screaming liberal side will see him as a poor choice without ever being able to elucidate why. Psst: It's because he's a white male that looks like a conservative.
For me, I think he's the best thing the Democrats have to offer right now that has a snowball's chance in hell of turning the Offal Office back into the Oval Office.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

The guy comes off as being extraordinarily sharp. He has a very fast wit. Generally former Sec of Transportation don't become Presidents and his only other real job was being Mayor of South Bend... and you can kiss Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan goodbye with that. j/k But seriously, Mayor of a modest small city is small fry. Of course, if fucking Trump can be President....

He lacks charisma, but would be awesome in front of the press as well as in a debate. Of course, we know debates can only be lost, they can't be won.

I think white and male is considered OK, as long as they are also gay. Its the straight ones that are problematic.

What country do you live in?


I live in the USA. Trump and Musk and Vance are the top dogs. Somehow, you think that being a straight white male is a problem?

Wtf?

This "screaming liberal" likes Mayor Pete just fine, despite our many disagreements. And we do have many disagreements. It is possible to disagree with someone, even publically disagree with them, and not hate them or want them to die. It is even possible to actually hate someone but still vote for them. People are complicated, they aren't storybook characters who can be summarized as simply Good or Bad without losing sight of reality. That myopic inability some seem to have to see the good in one's foes or the flaws in one's allies has greatly contributed to Trump's rise. He's made everyone afraid to crificize him, and publically shames them if they do. Not because they are wrong, but because they were "rude". Well, if your sense of manners compels you to give lip service to dictators, or even to remain silent when more well-meaning politicians make grave mistakes, I say "fuck manners". I'd rather have a functioning democracy, staffed by real human beings, than a superficial pageant of a government with fictionalized demigods as the principal characters.

I think you misread him. He was taking a shot at straight people.

There is no way redneck America is going to elect a gay man with a husband. Forget it.

Remind me, what was Trump's previous political office before running for president?

 

[pood]

Besides, don’t assume there is going to be another presidential election.

Ah, a racial slur and homophobia. What a charming contribution from the (sub?)urban left.

Sadly, I agree with you. I don’t think that a woman can get elected either. Very sad. If the dems want back in the game, we need an incredibly charismatic leader who win the swing states. I’m thinking Cuban, Whitmir or Sharpiao.

Homophobia? Did I saw that I would not vote for a gay man with a husband? No, no I did not. So your accusation is a libel. As to redneck America, go check out which Redneck/Redhat states voted for Trump three times in a row. A racial slur? Finally, I live in New York City, not suburbia, so you are wrong on all counts.

I doubt any of them have a chance and, in any case, we may well be moving into a post-election U.S.

 

[Elixir]

If a whole bunch of trumpsuckers don’t come to their senses soon, it’s game over.
Loud protest by people who have known Trump to be a traitor, will only get them killed or disappeared to the gulags Trump is building.

We musn’t call them rednecks or Trumpsuckers, because, see, that is racist. Instead, we must try to understand their fee-fees, even as they say “fuck your feelings!” to everyone else. We must never, ever refer to them with R word, even as they call everyone else using the N-Word, the Q-Word, the F-word, and the B-word.

He wasn’t talking about himself. I think that he is very correct that many will not vote for a gay person. I’d also add my opinion that many will never vote for a woman. Very sad…

Really. How in the FUCK did she conclude from what I wrote that I was a homophobe?

Yup. Denying redneck Murka and it’s rampant homo-and-everything-else-phobia is how we get a paranoid, ignorant populace that is unwilling to elect anyone smart - or gay, or female.

Well, I’d give some grace. Nerves are raw because Trump is so odious. People are feeling attacked, vulnerable and powerless.

MWAHAHAHAHA!!
