I changed from undecided to Pete Buttigieg

 
Honestly, I know he isn't going to win. I also have to say, he may well not deserve to win. But he is my Jesse Jackson. When he ran in 1984 he was 43, had never held elective office. Pete is 37 and well, only has been a mayor. But someone has to be the first. Someone has to lead the way. And like Jackson, there is more than resume to Pete. He is smart and thoughtful and deep. If Inslee had taken off, I likely would have voted for him. He was my sweet spot of record, experience, and policy. But he isn't going to be it. Buttigieg, if he gets a decent number of delegates and keeps doing well in debates will make a LGBT President more possible, then more plausible, and finally more certain to happen.

I was streaming an episode of the Practice from 1999 or 2000. An employer had outed an employee with AIDS and largely won his case with a closing argument that could have translated to today with very few words changed. It was striking how similar the argument about special rights vs discrimination were word for word what we will be hearing in Oct at the Supreme Court. We have a long way to go. I don't know if I will live to see a LGBT President. I didn't think I would live to see a black one. I don't know if I will see a female one. I am only 51 but longevity isn't a hall mark of my clan so I am figuring maybe 30 years or so at best is what I have. Even if I don't see an LGBT President, I am casting my vote in a way that will, I hope, hasten the day someone does. I can live with being Moses to another generation's Joshua.

I know it is virtually certain it won't happen yet but it will. And Pete, flawed though he may be, is the vessel I am choosing to put forward for now. And frankly, I know that even though he is young and less experienced than I might be like, he is a truly impressive person and we could do way, way worse than him and are unlikely to do much better.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

I'm a touch confused, wasn't Bill Clinton the first black President?

So DUmmy dsc, Mayor Pete has no chance and his policies make no sense to normal Americans. But he is queer bait so go ahead and throw your massive weight behind him.

So which is worse? The candidate with an obvious mental problem or the person voting for him because of the obvious mental problem?

Plus, I've heard Pres. Obama called the first L.G.B.T.A.B.C.B.L.T. (&c.&c.) president. Does this mean that Mayor Pete would be the first female president?
