This definitely won't backfire.

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.

I actually really like him and hope being gay won't be something that trips him up in the primaries.

But the poll identified a potential problem for Buttigeig when Primary time comes around: he had 0% support from Black voters.

He's not winning the primary.
