I still feel like the dnc is going to lean heavy into Buttigieg. He's young, an eloquent speaker, a sharp debater. He clearly is down to play ball with the dnc establishment as they want him to (stepped aside for Biden to get a cabinet position) , and they hope that he's baggage free enough (Kamala and her Marijuana prosecutions) that progressives will vote for him. Yes, he's gay, and the hardcore magats won't like that, but I think older suburban voters would rather have someone sane that's gay than insane and straight.
Then it will be 2016 all over again
Leftist leadership or the status quo are the options
And only the rich want the status quo anymore
I think you vastly underestimate the hate conservative voters have for gay candidates.
if they have any hope for a candidate it's someone like Tim Walz. old, white, trustworthy, and a "too old for this shit" attitude.
Based on some older people in my family that disowned their own child: doubt.
Those things only matter to nerds.
Everyone else will see "Butt" in his name and giggle
