This is stupid. He needs to put his ambition aside and win a goddarned statewide race.
The most competitive race he's won was his mayoral primary, South Bend is a blue bastion that hadn't gone to a Republican in decades. He carried next to no minority support and the Dems are currently bleeding that. He didn't even carry LGBT folks. He can brag about being transportation secretary, but that just ties him to a deeply unpopular administration.
I know he's the darling of this sub, but to the blue collar folks we need to win over he comes across as the guy your boss hired as a consultant before announcing he's cutting jobs.
He's not getting it because he's gay. It's simple as that. He should run for state governor or senator. This is RBG mentality and not a grand strategy for moving forward for the next generation.
Few sane ones in there trying to remind the rest that gay acceptance isn't amenable to nationwide election wins. Rethuglikkkans are fricked if libtards ever move past voting for progress milestones over actual policy.

It was a quiet Tuesday evening in their modest South Bend home. Pete Buttigieg, freshly showered and wearing his favorite beige sweater, shuffled into the living room where Chasten sat on the couch, flipping through a grocery store circular. The TV hummed faintly in the background, tuned to a rerun of a PBS documentary about bridges.
"Hey, Chast," Pete said, his voice soft and unremarkable, "you look nice in that hoodie."
Chasten glanced up, adjusting his glasses. "Oh, thanks. It's just the gray one I always wear." He returned to circling coupons for canned soup.
Pete sat down beside him, leaving a polite gap between them, and folded his hands in his lap. "I was thinking," he began, pausing for a yawn, "maybe we could, uh, spend some time together tonight. You know, just us."
Chasten nodded absently, underlining a deal on oatmeal. "Sure, that sounds fine. Did you have something in mind?"
Pete scratched the back of his neck, his cheeks turning the faintest shade of pink. "Well, I thought we could… maybe hold hands? And, uh, sit closer?" He scooted an inch toward Chasten, the couch cushion barely creaking.
Chasten set the circular down and looked at him with mild curiosity. "Okay, Pete. That's sweet." He slid over until their knees almost touched, then offered his hand. Pete took it, their fingers interlocking in the most standard way possible.
For a few minutes, they sat there, hands clasped, staring at the TV as an engineer explained truss designs. Pete cleared his throat. "You know, you're really great. I like being married to you."
"Thanks," Chasten replied, giving a small smile. "I like it too."
Pete leaned in slightly, his lips brushing Chasten's cheek in a quick, dry peck. "How's that?" he asked, pulling back immediately.
Chasten chuckled softly. "Pretty good. Want to watch the rest of this documentary?"
"Yeah," Pete said, settling back into the couch. "That sounds perfect."
And so they did, holding hands until the credits rolled, after which they turned off the TV, brushed their teeth side by side, and went to bed at precisely 9:45 PM.

Tbh, Pete Bootygeig would be one of the lesser-idpol choices on the Democrats' slate. Remember, he got attacked during the primaries for being too "straight passing" and "not gay enough."

I think people overlook how it's not just that he's gay, but he's gay with 'Butt' in his surname. A lot of people fine with gays still wouldn't vote for a gay Butt.

The Saudi royals don't actually GAF about Muslim values. That's for the proles. The same holds true for the other oil rich Gulf states I believe.

Rich Muslims love fast cars, slutty women and drugs more than most.
Old coke plug was from a staunchly Muslim family. He'd get coked up and talk about the failures of western society due to Jews,blacks , gays and women controlling everything.
Dude we are at an after hours strip club with a bottle of champagne, an 8ball and you just got a lapdance
