  • I'm A Bigot

    I admit it. I could never vote for this guy - based purely on optics.

    I'm with you, yet his policies bother me more...

      Well, of course his policies are even more repulsive.

      But it is a DNA-type thing, something deeply ingrained. I can't explain it. All I can say is it would be like voting for someone who drooled all the time. Perhaps it's something that the person can't help or control, but it's optically something I can't get behind (no pun intended). If that makes me a bigot, so be it.

        It would pretty much make US a laughingstock, especially to countries of Eurasia (minus perhaps some EU countries that are more progressive), but it would be fitting seeing the direction US society is going.

          Ditto. I'm rather libertarian about *laws* in relation to mutually consensual sexual practices, but I would not vote for this, nor for, e.g., Guy Benson, Rick Grenell, Tammy Bruce, etc. if they went gayin' around boldly. (Of those, Grenell is probably the only one that might actually ever become some sort of candidate.)

              Are you more comfortable with the optics of a thrice married serial adulterer?

                We don't see the President hugging and hold hands or kissing his PAST mistresses.

                  Doesn't that seem a little bit like splitting hairs?

                    They seem okay with gay people who keep it quiet like Lindsey Graham.

                      Nope, if Trump was openly making out or carrying on with a mistress I would have a problem. If Buttigieg ended his relationship or at least went back into the closet I would have less of a problem with him.

                        Where is your evidence that he is gay? If he is he is doing it right - keeping it in the closet.

                          You think this guy...

                          TrumpHairDay.jpg

                          ...who gets regularly laughed at and mocked in international settings, including by US allies like the UK and Canada... doesn't make the US a laughingstock?!? Here in NZ, a US ally, the local papers regularly draw cartoons mocking Trump, he's pretty much a by-word here for US stupidity and insanity and almost everyone laughs at even the mention of his name and at the US in conjunction with him.

                          But you think if the US has an openly gay leader like Belgium, Ireland, Serbia, Iceland and Luxembourg have had, it would make the US a laughingstock to Europe?!?

                          You're insane.

                            Would you be likely to vote for a different Dem nominee? Sanders seems the most likely one at this stage.

                            Pete's only coming 5th in national polling in the Dem primary, and does very badly with people of color, so it isn't looking particularly likely he'll be the nominee.

                            it would be like voting for someone who drooled all the time. Perhaps it's something that the person can't help or control,
                            That's pretty much how I think about people who are anti-gay.

                              Being that the US throws it's global weight around on the back of a powerful military pretense, those countries you mentioned don't have to uphold a continuous aggressive bravado against those countries of Eurasia like the US does (not saying I agree with that, but it is what it is). Countries in Eurasia, especially the middle east, don't exactly hold the same sentiments towards homosexuality as liberal white, feminist, soyboys do here in the west. It's a totally different culture.
