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.

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.

Okay but the point is they should've been able to run a wet paper bag against Trump and win.

Its never about what the majority wants. Its what minority wants. They are fat satisfied one percenters and the only thing they hate worse than a maga is letting the little people have a choice.

We have two corporate parties, the status quo and the controlled opposition. They occasionally switch labels but until we get the corporate out, we will never have a real choice.

I haven't heard bad stuff about Gavin Newsom. Did he turn corporate when I wasn't paying attention?

Because DNC are controlled opposition.

Really, how do we get viable third parties? How do we change the voting system to not have " spoiler candidates "? The binary is rotting us.

If it is not Bernie, AOC I ain't going to vote. Also ain't voting for anyone funded by AIPAC.
