But He Can’t
Win!
Buttigieg is
young, extremely intelligent; a shoe in for the Liberal Democratic Party
Primary. But winning the primary in a
progressive party does not represent a win for the Presidential election.
We just saw
the tip of the iceberg in homophobic protest at Buttigieg’s last public
appearance. Can you imagine the vile
posters and placards - the vehemently nasty protesters that will attend any appearance
at a Buttigieg rally?
When Maine
proposed a gay rights amendment the Catholic church of Portland led the
opposition. They actually took up
collections during services designated to defeat the amendment. Fundamentalist Christians showed up at the
State House screaming and shouting biblical versed with chants of ‘Abomination’
during hearings.
The Baptist,
Presbyterians, Methodist, Pentecostal, Seven Day Adventist, Jehovah’s Witnesses
would eat their children before they would vote for a gay couple in the White
House.
Whether we
like it or not, the United States is a religious nation; and religious
pedagogues hold sway over their congregations.
The most
important object of the next election is to defeat Donald Trump and the far-right
conservative party.
As much as
it pains me, I feel that if the Democrat Party selects Buttigieg for the Democrat
nominee, we will see four more years of Donald Trump as President.
Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.
Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.

When I first saw Democratic rising star, Barack Obama back in 2006 I thought, he's young. We need young blood. But he's black. He won't make it. He will never get the DNP nomination. Never. Never say never. So Pete's gay, he speaks 7 languages, he's smart and personable. Never say never. He might win.
ReplyDeleteHe's positioning himself, not for 2020, but for THE FUTURE. He's very young yet. He's got time.
