So does this mean we can have Pete Buttigieg?

1. Sadly, here in the US, too many people are not open minded, or even rational

Pete is THE BEST, but is the US smart enough to vote for the best? Sadly, chances are slim to none.

3. Yah, see how they voted for the first women to run for President???

A gay man WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT, and I wish I was so wrong. Pete would be a fantastic President.

13. The first two women right? I long to see a woman president and a Gay president

But I will settle for a Democratic President...hell a yellow dog is better than a GOP president. I spent last week in the hospital. I am back in congestive heart failure...had a bad valve Bicuspid/new valve in 23 but heart was damaged somewhat....it is genetic. I am about to try a new diabetes drug which helps with this...I want out live Trump; vote in 26, 28...and beyond. I want to see a better world for my Granddaughter and my kids. I want to outlive Trump too so I can spit on his grave.

16. Damn Demsrule86, healing, positive thoughts, hugs and right.....I want to outlive the orange piece of shit too.

🙏🏻

24. Thanks, I have a good shot with this new medicine. It has help many. I am a little concerned if

if is affordable but I speak to the pharmacist next week. On the bright side no more Eliquis and Amiodarone. We need to outlive that orange piece of garbage for sure. Even though I had just got out of hospital, I walked on no kings day. I want a better world for my kids, grandkids and all Americans. That can't happen with Trump and the GOP in charge. I blame them too. A decent party would have impeached him long ago.

21. Yikes. Good luck to Better Health!!

[Demsrule86]

23. Thanks, I am sick of the hospital...I never had any issues until July of 22. I had

a bicuspid vales which has two leaflets not three. It is genetic. You are born with it. I had no idea until it was almost to late...I had a new valve put in April 23. I had been doing better but my heart is not beating strongly so I am out of breath and feel like crap. I am trying a new medicine next week...fingers crossed.

2. Nope. We are decades behind our progressive neighbors across the pond.

Saldaña did end up being assassinated. He did abolish slavery, except in the state of Coahuila y Tejas where it was being phased out. I wonder if México had been more definitively able to end slavery if there would have been the same push for US filibusterers to take Texas away from México as a slave state.

4. Two numbers answer the question if we're smart enough to elect the best

45 and 47.

[CousinIT]

5. I wish. This rabidly misogynist country put TRUMP in power TWICE to avoid having a woman POTUS..

....so I'm guessing....not.

6. He was basically appointed, not elected

especially since his party didn't get a majority of the vote. His party won about 17% of the vote. Buttigieg would have to win at least close to 50%. I also think Buttigieg can't win the nomination given his lack of performance with AA voters.

[AZJonnie]

9. If 'votes' are what put him in the position as leader, then he was elected at least in some sense, no?

Or is it like his party got enough of the vote to decide, then the party made him leader, and people did not know when they voted that he was the one who would be chosen as that party leader? Honest question I've no idea how it all works and always like to know the real facts about everything, not just the happy-sounding spin

[Joinfortmill]

7. Yes! Please let it be so.

[Vinca]

8. I wish, but we live in Hate-istan not the Netherlands.

[LoisB]

10. If only. Too many "christians" here.

[NNadir]

14. One would hope so.

[IronLionZion]

15. European conservatives must have come over here back in the day

since Europe is relatively liberal on such things.

USA elected Obama twice but then we know what happened to Hillary and Kamala.

[jaymac]

17. people, people, people

STOP!!! pay attention today. I'd love Pete but stop pushing candidates,Newsome, Pritzter et al......get through 2026 first, willya?

[Skittles]

22. I agree

it is way too early to be pushing this nonsense

[AllaN01Bear]

18. ding ding ding ding.

[FadedMullet]

19. Jeez, that Geert Wilders asshole even looks a bit like Trump, at least the hair and red tie.
