This is why Republicans will try to kill (politically) Pete Buttigieg

He's gay and a Democrat. He will be destroyed by the CEC. Personally I like the guy. He's smart. Polished. I think he'd make a good leader. I would have easily voted for him rather than Biden if I could have.
Pete being gay and a critical thinker is a major liability for 30% of the voting population.
 
MAGA Trumpers don't think like this: What is the simple definition of reparations?
: the act of making amends, offering expiation, or giving satisfaction for a wrong or injury. : something done or given as amends or satisfaction.

All slaves are long ago passed.

The last 40 years black Americans have been pushed to the front of every line.

There is no longer anything to reparate.
 
Tried to join the Air Force, but was 4F.
But I was a civilian employee of the US Army for a few years.
Nothing like some sanctimonious leftist making misstatements, but hey, that's the way they roll.

So you attack Buttigieg and were rejected for being physically unfit? You are a treat.

Is being gay a political no-go for anyone
these days? I have to think Trumplicans attacking Buttigieg even snarkily for being gay would backfire on them.
 
Failed the physical.
Or the Psych exam.
Or were deemed morally unfit to serve your country.
And you can fail a selective service physical simply by having an STD.

Regardless.....@Grandpappy even if you were too physically unfit or frail to serve (and were not rejected due to psychological or moral unfitness), what gives you the balls to question ANY man (or woman) who was OBVIOUSLY more physically, psychologically and/or morally fit to serve that you....AND who then served this country with honor?

What kind of decent American does that?

:rolleyes:

So there are 2 salient FACTS here:
Fact #1 is that Pete Buttigieg was man enough to do what you were deemed unfit to even attempt to do.
Fact #2 is that the FACT that Pete Buttigieg happens to be a GAY MAN....must REALLY eat at your self-esteem, huh @Grandpappy ?

:ROFLMAO:

Pseudo-patriotic, grievance-warrior types like you should learn to keep quiet about ACTUAL patriots like Pete Buttigieg. Challenge his views....questions his policies or

"I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express."
 
....who still think it's 1950.
For many religious consevtives/dominionists, it's 1590 and the pope and divione-right kings still are to be ruling. Rights for all people equally just don't seem right for these bigots. 1/2 of the GOP still hasn't gotten over Appomattox Courthouse, much less the 1964 Civil Rights Act or the right of women to vote.

these days? I have to think Trumplicans attacking Buttigieg even snarkily for being gay would backfire on them.
The thing is, a lot of Trumpicans lack self-awareness and I believe some would absolutely put their foot in their mouth over his sexuality. As for non-politician New Republicans like a lot of posters here at DP they will absolutely bash him on his sexuality without thinking twice.
 
Pete being gay and a critical thinker is a major liability for 30% of the voting population.
A critical thinker? That's a good one. You mean, someone who you agree with. Regarding being gay, that is only
mentioned by the left in the rush to make him into a victim.
 
Nobody seems to mention his stance on issues. Does this matter at all?
- pro reparations
-pro abortion
-pro wealth redistribution by means of punitive taxation of the wealthy. 49.9% income tax.
-eliminate electoral college and let country be controlled by elites on each coast

Just a few of his positions that could be seen as controversial and may lose him votes.
Or gain him votes. In the past, heavy taxation of very high income people was considered logical in those beloved mid-twentieth century days. Very high income people are far more likely to heavily use our country's resources.

I can't imagine anybody seeing Buttigieg as a victim.

Tell me you are an uninformed white guy without telling me you are an uninformed white guy....
 
He should skip talking to faux.

You would be well served to be as informed as I.

I have no issues with Bootygig being gay, or his time in the Army.
I do have issues with his policies and competence as the Transportation secretary.

So you sure you still support the leftist Captain Bone Spurs for president?


 
DeSantis served honorably in the Navy.

Ah- so now we are distancing ourselves from Captain Bone Spurs, I see.

That’s typical. I am sure in a few short years there will be as many “conservatives” admitting to ever having voted for Trump as there are now admitting to ever having voted for George W Bush. You guys keep supporting these embarrassments to the presidency, watching them make a mess, then not taking any responsibility for it, and moving on the next disaster. And the Dems are left having to clean up after the mess, every time.

Like Biden, Trump's too old. But if he's the nominee, I'll vote for him.
