but to add a gay man might just be too much. I like Pete but we have so much animosity towards the LGBTQ+ populatio right now I'm not sure he would be a good choice at this time. He's young and there will come a time when having a gay president and/or vice president will be a normal rite of passage.

Pete speaks the truth and is typically clear as day about complex issues. can you imagine him debating Vance? I want Pete talking about the issues 24/7 til election day.

This will get interesting seeing how dems handle this mess going forward to select nominees.
Open convention not on my bucket list this year.
