This is why we need a pol who can rise about all the granular bullshit of identity politics and name-calling by simply emphasizing what all Americans agree on. Because when it comes to the big stuff, the vast majority of us agree. Dems keep falling into the MAGA trap.
The only one I can think of immediately is Pete Buttigieg. He’s smart, makes topics simple enough to understand, and doesn’t seem to get triggered by tough questions (or at least appears calm). But if the US wasn’t ready for a black woman, are they ready for a gay man as prez?
I love Buttigieg too -- but this America. We need a single-syllable name. Or maybe two syllables. Three syllables and that many silent vowels is asking a lot of folks. ☹️
You know I do have hope considering how close it was this election and I also thought Obama wouldn’t win either based on history. This extremism always has a swing which gave us Obama from bush. The disinformation machine has gotten worse since then and ppl have embraced being ignorant
If he wasn’t gay, I think many Americans would accept him. But, at least he’s open about it, unlike many other politicians (allegedly). I don’t care to know who a pol’s bedroom is like, and I don’t care for them to know mine.
