Kamala Harris could not pick Pete Buttigieg as he was Gay

[arista]

[Former Vice President Kamala Harris
wanted to pick Pete Buttigieg as her
vice presidential running mate during
the 2024 election,
but there was one problem – he was gay.

Harris made this revelation in
her soon-to-be-released book ‘107 days,’
according to The Atlantic.

The book provides an in-depth account
of her perspective from her devastating
defeat to Donald Trump.

Buttigieg, who is gay, ‘would have been
an ideal partner – if I were a straight white man,’
Harris wrote in a portion of the book.]

Typical of her
saying stuff that gets her in trouble.

She's so smart.

The former vice president claims that picking a gay man would have been ‘asking a lot of America’ at the time.

It was asking a lot just to get people to vote for Kamala.

Do I recall that Pete Buttboy is popular with the (centre-)left?

He'd probably have got more votes than her, anyway :laugh:

Harris was always unlikely to win. America isn't ready for a female president yet irrespective of all the other factors that dragged her down

It’s a scooby doo , ending
I would of gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you voters

She was totally useless :joker:

She was totally useless :joker:

She still is to be fair.

This woman overthinks everything. She should've just chose him, especially if they had better chemistry. Tim Walz on paper was OK but in the end turned out to be arrogant and not so likeable. Buttigieg at least would've genuinely felt more honored and he would've done better than she thought, I think.

Buttigieg responds to Harris’ VP snub: You earn voters’ trust on ‘what they think you’re going to do,’ not ‘on categories’

BLOOMINGTON, Indiana — Pete Buttigieg said he believes in “giving Americans more credit” than assuming they couldn’t vote for a Black woman and a gay man on the same presidential ticket, as former Vice President Kamala Harris asserts in her new book.

The former Transportation secretary told POLITICO Thursday that he was “surprised” to read a passage from Harris’ upcoming book that said Buttigieg was her first choice for a running mate and “would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight white man.”

i think its the dems in general that overthink everything. Pick the best person for the job and they may actually win one day. Personally, i think they have tied themselves in knots trying to satisy every minority cause they can think of
