Definitely can't deny that...there is some play on how much all this matters but I think it is indisputable it matters when it is close.
Yep, I did too. Pete is politically farther left than I am. But the guy strikes me as a man who is genuinely concerned for the good of the country and he thinks things through. He's a very quick thinker.I checked out BOTH articles. Interesting reading.
So would I. OTOH, I dread a debate between Biden and BS. I think BS can take advantage of Biden's brain-tongue disconnect. BS is never at a loss for words, even when they don't make any sense at all. (Which doesn't seem to matter, anyway.)Yep, I did too. Pete is politically farther left than I am.

I would dearly love to see a debate between Buttigieg and Bone Spurs. Or they could fight.
If they can't vote for a guy who roughly has the same general platform as Biden because he's gay then they were probably going to turn their nose up and actually vote for Trump as most of these hemming n' hawwing types did anyway.My fear of a Trump vs. Pete race is that the never Trumpers out there might not quite be able to pull the lever for a gay president. They either abstain or vote Libertarian and combined with the far left who don’t like Pete not being a socialist go with the Green Party and we get four more years.

What’s wrong with homosexuality? I’m not a Democrat, but I’m OK with it, whatever “OK with it” means.If you vote for any Democrat then you are voting for someone that is OK with homosexuality. It's been like that for a while. It's not new to this election cycle.

I've had one guy tell me "God is going to rain hell upon earth if that gay guy gets elected." He thinks Trump is the greatest president in American history, no exaggeration. The people I go to church with who describe homosexuality as a sin are ALL Trumpers.
I don't have any evidence of it, but I just don't think if Pete were heterosexual he'd pick up a lot more votes. If he maintains the momentum he has now, someone will eventually conduct a poll asking such a question.

I don't care who you love or with whom you have sex. I guess that makes me OK with homosexuality. I'm good with same sex marriage as well. Those who aren't might as well be because it's the law of the land. I'm also good with not discriminating against someone in employment or other venues because of their sexual orientation. Seems like a decent thing to do. On the list of things that would make me not vote for a democrat that issue doesn't even make the list. The fact that it makes the list for many republican candidates does make me want to vote against them. I don't really like bigotry at all and try to avoid voting for bigots.If you vote for any Democrat then you are voting for someone that is OK with homosexuality. It's been like that for a while.

At least, with the Democrats, you generally know who's homosexual. The Republicans are all closeted and are therefore subject to blackmail...I don't care who you love or with whom you have sex.

I'm perfectly ok with it. My point was anyone who will vote democrat probably does not care who he sleeps with. Though I have met a few democrats in certain counties in Alabama that are against homosexuality, they are the exception.What’s wrong with homosexuality?

I don’t know how to take that. Are you sure this is what you intended to say? Is "he" Pete or Democrats in general?I'm perfectly ok with it.
