I certainly don’t like him, for many reasons, but him being gay is of no interest to me whatsoever.

That's sort of the impression I get from people here. He's not charismatic and his policies aren't popular or unpopular (he's the Transportation Secretary right now.) No one is interested in his marriage. He isn't hated or anything, though.

Would he be a good president? I don’t have much faith in that.

As someone pointed out upthread, Pete was selected by Pelosi as a potential future president after Clinton's loss. I think he was specifically chosen as a puppet. Republicans don't need homophobia to turn the electorate off of him, he has plenty of flaws as a candidate.

And the irony is that Putin would still treat Buttigieg a lot better than Chasten does.

Fuckin' brutal 😖

Pelosi gives off shady vibes. Why would she pick a puppet? Does she love having so much power with limited consequences to herself?

In a nutshell.

She's almost cartoonishly corrupt, her father was the mayor of Baltimore in the 1950s and her brother was mayor in the late 60s.

She represents San Francisco in the House, and has since before both of us were born.

She’s like a real life Cruella de Vil. It doesn’t surprise me that San Francisco keeps re-electing her.

Well, she's corrupt as all get out and has likely actually lost many of her elections over the years. But she has so much influence, she ultimately determines who tallies the votes, so...

Trump used her as a foil when he was in office. They had some good public battles, especially in 2020.

She could be a main reason why San Francisco is the way it is.
