Pete Buttigieg

[sonatine]

theres a great clip from the ohio primaries of some bloated flyover housewife talking about how she just voted for buttigieg and then casually compliment her on how progressive it was of her to vote for a gay man and after like 20 seconds of back and forth clarifications she was convinced that she had just voted for a gay man, and her response was literally demanding they let her back in to change her vote. she was 100% serious.

also i wish i shared your conviction that liberals know he has no chance; they are the ones who cant stfu about what a triumph it is against oppression to have a gay man so prominently featured in national politics. oh and seriously ran kamala. and fwiw i cant remember pete ever bringing it up him being gay beyond occasionally referring to his husband but the left cant seem to stop making it a topic of convo.

and btw i like him and i like his policies and i have absolutely no doubt he would lead well on an international stage, i just think hes totally unelectable.

I am going to assume him being a forceful presence on the international stage as a joke. Yeah, standing in Munich with his geeky husband would go over great on the world stage.

you think munich would care? fascinating. russia would care and so would a handful of islamic nations until the moment the saudis kissed the ring. no one else would notice especially after he tarpitted all of trump's tariffs.
