I often think anyone who appears to have some major issue with a topic or entity has some issues of some sort.  They keep bringing it up, often out of context, and go on and on about it.  We've all been around such folks, usually while trying to avoid their company after a bit. uncles and whatnot who can't leave it alone.

They might go on and on about how they hate, say, Halloween.  OK, got it, maybe the rest of us enjoy it a bit and are tired of hearing your rants.  I understand the folks on FB who go on and on about Trump, I get that, they need to blow off steam and somehow posting in SM does that for them, carry on.  Today, all my Marine friends on FB are going wonky about some birthday, something is 249 years old.
Uhhh....it was an exclamation.  A common lamentation.  I didn't shit on religion.  Badges reaction says more than anything I posted.

If Buttigiege was straight, he'd win in a landslide.  Smart.  Vet.  Prudent.  Willing to engage with anyone.  It makes too much sense for it to actually happen.

Which do you think would make it more likely?  That he be straight or be 70+ years old?  People's complaints about presidential candidates is like the congress approval rating/incumbent re-election %.  Bitch about it, but never/rarely change it.

straight or 70+ years old?

quite obvious
many more 70+ in office than gays

are the percentages of the population more gay or more 70+?

I could see voting for him at some level.   His positions on some things are a bit left for me, but “ a bit left”  isn’t a show stopper for me.  Of course, it would also depend on who he was running against. 

A guy I could see potential support for is Shapiro.

It was an incredible own-goal to not nominate him for VP. Walz brought nothing to the ticket. Shapiro probably delivers Pennsylvania. It may not have mattered since Trump won all the other swing states but . . .

It wouldn’t matter. 99% of all people do not vote for President based on the VP.

Someone less smart, much older, didn't serve, and less prudent.  You know, the shit they've been slinging for decades.

according to you, see a proctologist to have your head examined, watching you prattle on is like someone giving a book report on one they didn’t read.Stick to shoving around 5 yr olds,because 6 yr olds would beat you in checkers,Monoply,chess and like a rented mule. Why don't you go dove hunting with Dick Cheney?
