I’ll accept that with the caveat that bigotry doesn’t need to be qualified. Religious bigotry is just bigotry.

Correct.

Also, many homophobic bigots try to hide their bigotry with sayings such as “Love the sinner, hate the sin.”

The homophobic bigots say the Bible tells them homosexuality is a sin and wrong…….then they tell us they have a gay or lesbian or bi or trans friend……even better, one of each.
 
We are such an irredeemably stupid country if Pete Buttigieg is unelectable solely because of his sexual orientation. He’s unbelievably intelligent, incredibly thoughtful, compassionate, and exceptionally well versed in policy but just as easily able to articulate it to the common folk.

We are 100% a stupid country already. November 2024 just cemented it.

Nope. Religious bigotry is extra dumb because it's based on fairytales.

Not even. It is based on mistranslations and lack of context, coupled with thousands of years of doctrine further distorting the original language.
 
Bottom line is we can't do shit if we don't get elected so I don't want any candidate in the race running from 50 yards behind the starting line. It's not worth it to increase the chance of a republican getting elected and then doing shit like destroying years of DEI in two weeks. We have to have a candidate that can get at least some votes from middle America and he ain't the one.

Unfortunately, that's where we are as a nation.

I don’t think it’s Pete’s sexuality that makes him unviable as a Democratic presidential candidate in this moment. What is he offering that is different than the party’s most recent standard bearers?

I think both are a major problem that further exaggerate the other. It will be very easy to paint him as a raging far left liberal whether he really is or not.
 
Pete is fine and smart but ultimately unelectable. His sexuality is part of that but it could be overcome by a truly dynamic personality. Pete's biggest issue is that he's white, white, WHITE. We didn't learn the lesson of Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama. Run someone with some fucking rizz.

If the Democratic candidate isn't a Kendrick Lamar listening shit talking relatable cool fucking dude, we will get our asses kicked again.

It's ALL about personality. And ultimately it won't matter if that dude sucks dick or not...what will matter is how much swag he's got. That's how Democrats win in this environment.

Compared to 2016 and 2024, he’s male.

For many, he passes the “I’d have a beer with him” test (Hillary and Kamala and Al Gore failed that test; shit, Gore lost the “beer” test to a guy who no longer drank).

Mayor Pete’s highly articulate and easy on the ears. Things Hillary nor Biden nor Kamala are.

Few Presidential elections are won or lost on policy platforms.
 
Paine said:
There’s some truth here. Elections are about narratives as much as policies, but ignoring policy or treating it as secondary lets the party keep recycling technocrats who don’t inspire or address systemic issues. The points you touch on are just style. That’s a big reason Democrats keep losing.

In the long term, the left can only beat back the right by marrying a bold economic agenda with authentic cultural connection. They have to show that they’re both someone people can trust someone who will fight for them.

If you think Buttigieg is on the beer track, I don’t think you’re very well connected with the type of person this political shorthand is supposed to represent.

Most of my comment about the “beer test” was facetious.

“I’d like to have a beer with him” is often said by a male who is likely Republican-leaning, if not MAGA. It’s said about a Dubya or Trump (oddly, two people who don’t drink). It’s never said about a woman or Liberal.

Pete’s biggest negative as a Presidential candidate is, as wmheel said, that he’s white bread as hell. I hope he runs for and wins a Senate seat and holds it for 30+ years.

Please put Walz/AOC/Crockett/Jeffries at the top of the ticket in 2028.

The fact that the left doesn't know or wants to accept why they lost the election is telling.

Again... you guys are WAY smarter than everyone in this world. Keep going.

You won't win the mid-terms in 2026.

Dear God man, have a little self respect. The small dick energy you're giving off here as you desperately misbehave for attention would be pitiable if you weren't a grown ass man who should know better.

Marking for later hilarity.

You also said that "Donald Trump will never be President.."

You also said that he was going to jail, getting perp walked, would never be re-elected....

And you have about 0% of accuracy on your predictions.

Go ahead and sling insults. It is who you are.

Guess what Wayne.... when you wake up Trump is your President. You helped elect him.

Thank you.

I literally never said any of those things, fuckstick.

Trump’s not my president. I didn’t vote for that piece of trash, but I’ll gladly sit back and watch him burn down our country so I can remind dumb fucking inbred units like yourself what your vote did to our country.

We’re the laughingstock of the world. Trump is taking full loads in the face simultaneously from Putin and Xi and asking for seconds while those two high-five each other upon completion. It’s both sad and hilarious to watch our country laid so low in the eyes of the world while our fake tough-guy President keeps stepping on his own dick.

I won’t gladly sit back and watch Trump destroy this country…..and simultaneously destroy an international system that has made the USA wealthy and secure and safe.

I hope Trump stumbles into “making” the US and the world safer and wealthier and more secure than it is today.

I expect he and Musk and the techbroligarchs and the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 assholes will make the US and world worse; I hope the U.S. and the world are better in 2029 than today.
