Here we are: are we ready for a woman or a gay president?

Largely irrelevant.


Totally irrelevant

Most of it shows he's totally incompetent as an executive.

Listen, you brain dead MAGAt slut. You asked a stupid question. I gave you an answer that you're not worthy of.

The Commander-in-Chief, pig shit for brains, commands the armed forces. A veteran's experience is not "irrelevant". Fuck you.

The past 2 presidents were old and have been routinely called senile by their political opponents. A young person in control of an executive office is not "irrelevant". Fuck you.

Buttigieg has not been accused of being "incompetent" by anyone during his time as mayor. Fuck you.

You're neither a serious nor an honest person. In fact, I think you're a relatively piss poor example of what the human race can be. Stop posting at me. You're boring and stupid.

No, I asked a valid question. You answered with vague generalities and glittering platitudes.

So?

Carter was a nuclear power naval officer and a shit president
Ford was a MWR officer on a carrier and a mediocre president
Nixon was a highly praised administrative officer in the Navy and a shit president
Grant was a great general and a mediocre president.
Walz was a Command Master Sargant and made an absolutely terrible governor.

Being a veteran does not guarantee success as president or CinC.

That doesn't mean being young will fix the problem. Young and stupid is just as bad.

Don't fuck with me, loser.

You asked, "Really? What are say, three examples of why he'd make a 'fantastic president?'"

I answered:

"1. He's a veteran.
"2. He's young.
"3. He has executive experience."

Nothing about that is "vague". Do you know what a "platitude" is?

No president's success is ever "guaranteed". I said that I think that Buttigieg would be a fantastic president. Then you lost your nonexistent fucking mind and went on this rant.

I stopped reading your post after that. Stop posting at me.

Yes, I did. I expected you to be able to adequately defend your choices. Instead, the second you got challenged you, like virtually every Leftist on the planet, switched to vitriol, ad hominem, and insults rather than try and mount a reasoned defense.

Here, you make a solid argument for why there should be standards on being able to vote instead of letting every ill- and un- informed schmuck cast a ballot. That's why we're in the mess we're in today.

Naah. He's a smart, qualified guy but has demonstrated a penchant to conform to "the norm" way to fast. And let's get real ... even if you had 100% fair elections (no gerry-mandering), there is nowhere near enough national votes to put an openly gay man who is "married" with "kids" in the White House. Period.
 
A woman - perhaps, but she would NOT be a "machine" party politician, with some sort of background more grounded to the average working man and not a career outside of politics.

A gay man - NO. PERIOD. Local elections are one thing, national is quite another. As it stands, you have a myriad of social and cultural divisions regarding sex, race, religion that are STILL a major point of contention. A gay man and his partner with adopted kids will not sit with the vast majority of the country. Just saying.

The vast majority? I would be hard pressed to think of 20 people who even blink when they see a gay couple. Even in flyover MAGAt country.

As mayor of South Bend he proved divisive--per previous links I provided--while doing little overall to improve a major city in the Rust Belt.

As Secretary of Transportation, he was a complete failure. From signing on to "Racist highways" needing cubic dollars to eliminate for less than zero ROI, to the ongoing FAA air traffic controller issue where he fucked things away pushing DEI, to shipping and trucking scandals. The guy as a cabinet secretary proved utterly unprepared to handle the job.

He polls terribly as a Presidential candidate. His numbers are almost in single digits and his competition at that level is persons like AOC. Harris outpolls him, and she's got zero chance of winning. The Democrats need someone that can win, and Buttigieg isn't going to cut it.

On the whole, he's right up there with Sarah Palin in terms of political clout.

Obama offered off the charts charisma, Biden offered a supposedly known, stable, quality with his long experience in the Senate. Clinton was slick and polished as a politician. Buttigieg offers none of that. There's no angle he's got that propels him to the top of the ticket.

I'm not buying all the Democratic backbiting about the nation not being ready for a "woman" president. While the President's sex or gender may, indeed, be a factor for some, I think the Party politics are a much bigger part of voter decisions.

From Google AI:

What factors go into a voter's decision for electing a President?

A voter's decision in a presidential election is a complex process influenced by an interplay of
political factors, candidate characteristics, policy positions, and socioeconomic background.

Key Influencing Factors
  • Party Identification: This is one of the most significant and consistent predictors of voting behavior. Many voters have a strong, often deep-rooted, psychological attachment to a political party, and approximately 90% of affiliated voters support their party's nominee. Party affiliation often serves as a mental shortcut for evaluating candidates and issues.

  • Economic Conditions: The state of the national and personal economy plays a pivotal role. Voters often reward the incumbent party during periods of prosperity (low unemployment, GDP growth) and punish them during downturns (high inflation, stagnant wages). Perceptions of inflation and personal financial well-being are major determinants.
    • Competence and Experience: Whether a candidate is seen as qualified and knowledgeable for the job.
    • Integrity and Trustworthiness: Perceptions of honesty and ethical conduct.
    • Leadership Qualities and Charisma: A candidate's perceived strength, decisiveness, communication skills, and ability to inspire.
    • Empathy/Relatability: Whether the candidate appears to care about and understand the concerns of ordinary people.
  • Media and Information Environment: News coverage, political advertising, social media influence, and the prevalence of misinformation all shape voter perceptions and preferences. Social networks can reinforce existing beliefs through echo chambers or spread political information and influence.
Ultimately, voters often weigh these factors, sometimes unconsciously, when choosing the candidate they believe best represents their interests, values, and vision for the country.
