Pete Buttigieg Is Struggling With Black Democrats. Here’s Why.

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has 154 endorsements from current or former black or Hispanic elected officials. Senator Kamala Harris has 93. Senator Bernie Sanders has 91. Senator Cory Booker has 50. Senator Elizabeth Warren has 43.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg has six.

The South Bend, Ind., mayor has surged to first place in some Iowa polls and has built a big-money fund-raising operation that is the strongest in the Democratic presidential field.

They will NOT vote Dem Gay. They may not vote republican but will stay home before voting for a Gay.

Here’s why he is struggling: He’s QUEER!!!!!!!!!! And the blacks don’t like that.

[montag813]

Why doesn’t Pete ask one of the Black studs Chasten brings home?

Well, RuPaul likes it.

Not voting is a real choice for blacks.

The mass media was in denial in 2016 and they will be in denial for 2020.

They cannot imagine that folks don’t eat, drink, and live politics 24/7.

If blacks don’t like the candidates, they just don’t vote.

(The challenge for the Republicans is to make sure that voter fraud does not “count the votes” anyway.)

both had experienced the pain of “the struggle for equality.”

They make the same assumption about the black and “brown” communities. That they are political allies, when in fact, on the ground, they despise one another.

“Maybe, but they’ll still overwhelmingly vote DEM/gay before they will GOP.”

I disagree with what you say. While they will be be far more likely to vote Dem than GOP under normal circumstances, when the Dem is gay, trans or whatever other aberration they still may not vote GOP but the huge majority will simply NOT vote at all. This loss of the vote will occur among Hispanics as well since the “macho” looms very large in their culture.

[Ransomed]

It’s all about the % of minority voters that won’t turn out for a ‘married’ homosexual man. Just like they didn’t turn out for a corrupt fat old ailing white woman like they did for a black male. We aren’t talking about voters that vote for rational reasons or have a guiding political philosophy, but voters who will vote based on things like a candidate that happens to look like them.

Why the hell would any Black vote for any democrat? dems keep Blacks down, poor and jobless, so they can control them and get their votes and money.

Fudgepackin Pete is troubled in many ways. He is very unstable in a variety of ways. He must be a Soros stooge.

[chopperk]

Fudgepackin Pete is very unstable. He’s got guts but very troubled in his elected lifestyle which is deviate.
Has he thought about his wife being the first lady with balls and beard.

Racial quotas are a big deal. Think of how many blacks would be in the better colleges, without quotas. Then there’s the impact on government positions. Without quotas, the post office, police departments, fire stations, et al, would be far less black, because the mulligans they get to compensate for lower civil service test scores would disappear.

[SERKIT]

To use liberal logic, this MUST mean that Mayor Pete has locked up the National Democrat Socialist White Workers Wing of the DNC. What other conclusion should they draw?

Thanks to racial quotas, civil service sinecures from which many cannot be fired, short of murder? Mulligans for admission to better colleges? Racially targeted financial aid that give full rides to under-qualified college admits, just for being black?

(The challenge for the Republicans is to make sure that voter fraud does not “count the votes” anyway.)

Left-wing theory holds that most people who choose not to vote would have voted left-wing if they had been forced to.

Therefore, "counting" their (missing) votes as votes for the Democrat or Socialist is justified, and is necessary to get a true accounting of "the will of the people."

I noticed that--lefties are always shocked when their candidates don't win 100% of the vote. When they get their Commie paradise they will make sure everybody votes--and votes the way they should!

I believe they’re over-thinking this. There is ONE reason, i.e., ‘The reason that dare not speak its name’
