✅ Military experience. We may need a leader who knows first hand the danger they are putting our young men and women in.
✅ Governing experience (if you can be a community organizer, peanut farmer, or reality TV star, being a mayor is absolutely legitimate experience)
✅ Federal experience
✅ I'm gonna say it- in hindsight he managed the rail union strike amazingly well. He avoided a supply chain catastrophy, then a few months later got the union the sick time they need. He had his cake and ate it too.
✅ Medicare for those who want it is a realistic plan. It's it perfect? No. But it's better and more importantly can pass through Congress.
I fully expect comments to fully support this take without any criticism for a center left candidate who doesn't plan on tearing down capitalism brick by brick./s
Also, I'm gonna say it, I'd love to vote for a gay man. I'd love to see the GOP desperately try to bite their tongue knowing that the overwhelming majority of Americans wouldn't support them saying "don't vote for the f*****" which we all know they'd want to say so damn hard. You know they'd end up slipping up and showing their true colors which could help turn people away.
Oh absolutely. We need an inspiring queer leader to mark a new era, where young LGBT children can grow up knowing they have a future in our country, let alone a future at all.
His response to Pence was amazing.
You forget that half of the GOP are closeted, self-loathing homosexuals.
I dunno. He seems kinda Cunty In Allegiance.
All of that and he does SO much better than any one else I've seen on interviews. If he isn't president this year he'll run in 2028.
