I'm still undecided as to a candidate. I like, in order, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg, and Biden.
But here's one thing I'm certain of. Pete Buttigieg can't win.
As intelligent, charismatic and qualified as he is, there are still too many people in America who won't vote for a gay man.
Go ahead and beat me up on this thread. But it won't change what I consider to be a reality.
I believe race, gender and age don't matter that much anymore.
But whatever people tell pollsters, or say out loud, or tell themselves, there is still a tremendous gay bias in America.
As I said, this is my first time on this thread. This issue may have been debated a thousand times here. I don't know.
But I do know that the number one priority of America is to rid ourselves of the orange disease.
And I fear that too many Dems and Independents would sit out voting for a gay man. Which means I don't have much confidence in the intelligence of American voters. Even Democrats.

Qualified? As a mayor medium-sized city he's a failed F-up.

Of the 4 to choose from Pete is the best least worst choice but that is not saying much.

TBH, I'm not sure any of the Dem candidates would be better than awful. All seem to have serious vulnerabilities, and most have a name-recognition problem. Biden has name recognition, but he's got decades of flip-flopping and gaffe-generating baggage. All seem caught up in the current Free-Shit Auction, trying to see who can offer the most while pandering to the special interests. I do not think that is playing well with normal people.

One benefit of Biden running...dems are now starting to trash the Obama administration and hang everything bad about it around Biden's neck.

'Let Pete do for you what he's done for all those gay dudes' asses.' What a fantastic campaign idea!
They all look pretty awful, with the front-runners among the very worst.

:popcorn: That should bring on an interesting dilemma for DU-folk. :popcorn: How many will trash in 2019 and 2020 what they defended in 2009-2016? :popcorn: And how who will get purged as a consequence of that forum war? :popcorn:
