Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg on Monday night advocated a form of national public service for all young adults as a way to create unity among Americans.
"We really want to talk about the threat to social cohesion that helps characterize this presidency but also just this era," the mayor of South Bend, Ind., told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. "One thing we could do that would change that would be to make it, if not legally obligatory, but certainly a social norm that anybody after they're 18 spends a year in national service."

Would he have "butt-gigs" (in the usual places) be classified as “national service” and would he then have us taxpayers pick up the bill?

Honestly, a gay man who publicly tongue-kisses his husband has zero chance of becoming President. The 35% of the country who LOVES that stuff will really really really love Buttigieg, but his appeal to the rest of the nation will be minimal.
He will not be the nominee.

He could become the jugendfuhrer. Didn’t Obammy suggest something just like this. Thankfully it never happened.

We already have a ‘’national service’’ for 18 year olds. It’s called the military.

Wasn’t something like this floated back in the Kennedy-Johnson era? Join the Peace Corps or get drafted. It didn’t go over.

And here's the beauty of it...everyone who is older than eighteen and past the age of eligibility, would be for it...create national pride...give all the kids an education.
GOV. MORRIS
And all the others?

I think that there are just too many Democratic party constituencies (Black, Hispanics, Catholics) that really hate the gays for him to win the nomination. He’s perfect for journalists, who like his articulacy, but he doesn’t help the Dems in the midwest, which is where they want to win.

"..a gay man who publicly tongue-kisses his husband.."Does that make buttplug the wife?
If so, buttplug may be the first female president, breaking shrillary's glass ceiling.
