Kamala Harris revealed in her new book that she considered Buttigieg a 'risk' because of his sexual orientation
I think Gavin Newsom would’ve been the most logical decision. I think Walz was a better pick than Buttigiege. I am just speaking as someone thinking of what I would have done…
Honestly, when going against Trump I have always thought the strategy I would employ would be to grab a guy like Gavin Newsom, keep him in the middle as much as possible, give him a very tepid, normal Democrat platform, and just hug center while acting like Trump is a weirdo who is far right. This is the strategy I think the media would do best at helping with.
Buttigiege would not really help with this - not because I think being gay is an issue, but because he is uncharismatic and only looks bad standing next to virtually anyone, lol.

Yeah that’s why you failed… The wrong beep pick and not the craven position on Gaza or reality of the broken economic system.
But let’s double down more on status quo and hope the plunge into fascism gets donors active.

They’ll blame anything and everything as long as it diverts attention from the issue of wealth inequality driving more and more people to poverty. The Democratic party keeps talking about social justice issues making them lose elections, but that’s because they’re the only “safe” things their donors let them talk about. Can’t talk about money.
