I love Buttigieg, would definitely vote for him, but this would make me anxious. We already have black woman running and there are a lot of people in swing states that have a problem with just that.

I just want to be sure that the fascist criminal will lose.

But he's a veteran. Would they vote for the cop + veteran ticket or the felon + coach fucker one?

Time to show their true colors.

It didn't work for John Kerry when he ran against a draft dodger. I guess being a combat vet wasn't enough? Having been a cop would tip the balance?

Well, we all know that the salute-the-troops, thank-you-for-your-service crowd are just playing pretend.

We all saw what happened when their nominee insulted a purple heart recipient and past POW, and everyone just cheered.

Well they elected a football coach over a former DA. You know, a literal "law and order" type.

Never underestimate conservatives' ability to put their biases over their alleged morals.

GOP/Conservatives hate veterans. All of them do. They like to wave the flag and pretend, but they elected a literal draft dodging bitch who openly mocked Gold Star families. A big part of P2025 is the destruction of the VA and VA Compensation.

Don’t let any Republican voter act like they are pro-veteran or military.

My take as well. We need to win this one. I love Pete, and would happily vote for him for president of he were the nominee, but a black woman and a gay man on the same ticket is just going to be too much for a lot of voters. Plus, I think they need to select someone from a purple state who can help bring in important votes.

Making America pick between fascism or whether or not they would rather a futt bucker, is a risky spicy gamble
