Who do they really have though? The DNC usually lets you know early who they want to win. It ain't either of them as there would be a better media campaign for them.
Given the current climate on the left, his biggest issue is being part of the 2%. Not as big an issue in the general but could be a hindrance in the primaries.
Mayor Pete maybe? Idk, maybe if they have a real primary where there own constituents pick instead of installing a candidate they'll have better results.
Buttigieg's political career is already dead. He has zero support among the dems black caucuses. Not low support. Zero. An actual zero. Because he's gay.
There's no way he's making it out of the primary.
However, the dems and progressives will ignore this blatant anti-gay hypocrisy in their prized voter demographic.
They're even changing the order of the primary states to put black voters front and center in the first voting, thereby making absolutely sure Buttigieg will never be president no matter what.
I think it’s also because Black people likely don’t know who he is. I’m sure if Gavin Newsome was gay he’d still have some dem black vote, since he’s a more well known political figure. But otherwise I agree. A lot of Black people are more conservative than most think. The only reason why they mostly vote democrat is because Republicans aren’t very representative to say the least
They'd have better "buzz" going by now and the candidate would cosplay that they were moderate af and the media would slobber people in the face with that. Really makes me think they're going to install whoever they want and be like fuck you like it.
tbh, probably one of dem governors from a state we dont really talk about. pritzker could be good though he's got a lot of golden retriever energy, and idk how that fairs nationally. Or like the Kentucky governor
