California Democrats, especially those with ties to the influential LGBTQ and Hollywood communities, are finding themselves torn between a home-state senator they love, Kamala Harris, and an out-of-state suitor who has suddenly captured their attention, Pete Buttigieg.
It’s a dynamic that’s unsettling the Democratic presidential primary in California — home to an early 2020 March contest that offers a mother lode of nearly 500 delegates. No two candidates are crowding each other quite so closely here, or elbowing each other quite so aggressively, in the pursuit of some of the party’s most generous and influential donors.
Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., isn’t viewed as a direct threat to Harris. But his rapid rise, appeal to millennial voters and newfound popularity among Hollywood and Silicon Valley donors stands to hinder her ability to lock down her backyard. And it could enable the 37-year-old mayor to net a solid cache of delegates from Harris’ home state — perhaps even more than he can capture in early voting states like Nevada or Iowa.

Maybe she could start identifying as a man herself. It’s paying off for Pete.

"Mayor Pete blindsides Kamala Harris in California" Would you say he got her from behind?...

It’s likely to come in handy that he has plenty of experience with coming from behind.

He blindsided her?
She’s lucky she’s not a guy. He’d have rearended her.

queer or whore?
why not put them both on the ticket? it would be a shame to lose either one of such highly-qualified (for the D party nominations, that is!) candidates
of course, Harris is ineligible and Buttplug won’t sell in “flyover” country, being most everything between Hollywood and Fire Island

This sure is confusing. Does this make Harris’s supporters homophobes, or Buttigieg’s supporters racists? Maybe both are true.
