He’s an idiot slacker …and I don’t care who he sleeps with. Run him.

Wow, this is a slacker:
Buttigieg attended St. Joseph High School, and was his class valedictorian. He graduated from Harvard University in 2004, earning a bachelor’s degree in history and literature.

After graduating, Buttigieg was awarded the prestigious title of Rhodes Scholar. He attended the University of Oxford in England, graduating with a BA in philosophy, politics, and economics.

He joined the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2009 and served seven years as an officer, taking a leave of absence as South Bend mayor to serve in Afghanistan in 2014

But you voted for a guy, trump, who's daddy paid a doctor to keep him out of the military and paid his way into college.

I really don't believe you know the definition of slacker.

Just a hint the guy born on third base who owes all of his success to his daddy's money, is much closer to being a slacker.

I honestly think America is more “ready” for a male Jewish president than it is for a woman of any background.

Sad but true. Most democracies have already elected at least one woman as leader - the UK did it over 45 years ago - yet too many Americans (including many women) have an absolute fear and aversion to electing a woman as president. And much of that prejudice probably comes from what they were taught as kids in conservative churches. I've heard Baptist women tell me that the post of minister was "reserved" for men by god, and they actually prefer it that way. I suspect the same mindset extends to voting for president. I do think we'll someday elect a woman, but it's still going to be awhile, I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, the first female POTUS will be right-wing as hell.

Maybe. She'll have to win the GOP nomination first, and as Nikki Haley has discovered most Republican primary voters aren't likely to vote for a woman to be the GOP nominee for president. Conservatives in other countries seemed more willing to choose a woman as their party's nominee, Republicans not so much. I sometimes wonder if the first female US President will be a vice president who takes over when the POTUS dies or has to resign for some reason, not someone who is actually elected POTUS on their own.

A lot easier to elect a woman in a parliamentary system without direct elections for prime minister. We likely would have already had a female leader if we had a parliament.

She ran against Trump in the Trumplican Party.

“Moderates” and “Independents” seem to prefer right-wing blacks and women to Liberal blacks and women.

My aunt said she couldn't vote for Hillary because she stood next to Bill after he admitted the Lewinsky stuff. She had no problem voting for Trump three times though despite Stormy Daniels and everything else....
