All of which meant he would not only be the first gay president – he would also be by far the most progressive candidate ever elected to the White House.

Quote

The only big surprise of his campaign was also its biggest disappointment. While rightwing homophobes remained largely silent, Buttigieg’s angriest opponents turned out to be radical queers, who decided that the first male candidate to kiss his husband on national television just wasn’t gay enough.

At this rate the Democrat 2024 candidate will be Harry Reid in a wheelchair vs. Don Jr. and/or Ivanka on the Republican ticket.

I don't get it with some of you guys.

Obama's Secretary of State was apparently the worst candidate ever. His second SoS was the worst candidate ever in 2004. Now his VP is apparently such trash that you'll be okay with a second Trump term if he's the nominee.

Who isn't trash? Who isn't "worst ever" tier besides Sanders? Was Obama himself trash? I honestly don't get it.

Obviously Biden would be better than Trump, and I would never tell anyone not to vote Biden if they’re in a swing state, but it’s disheartening to get excited for real change and then get smacked down by the status quo. I think the next few weeks will be hardest for Bernie supporters, but when November comes around people will swallow their pride and vote Biden. (though obviously people like Cindi will be too scornful to do this)

I'm not fine with another trump win. But if that's whom the democrats want to rally behind then they deserve the L. I've compomised much of my voting record on democrats that promise things and don't deliver or worse yet, don't even win. No longer. I've also checked out. I'm genuine in my want to move away from America. In my mind, it's out of my hand. I will vote for whom I want to. Not whom people think I should. American medocrity is one of my criticisms of the country. I'm not contributing to that politically any longer. As far as I can tell, it's not my country anymore. I can do whatrver I want.

Of course Obama was trash, dude didn't even support gay marriage until halfway through his presidency. If Obama ran today he would have to be farther to the left, and how far he is to the left determines how trash he is. Not that hard. If Obama is out here telling us to keep private insurance or whatever then he's trash.
