Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumWould a Harris/Buttigieg ticket check all of the boxes.
When talking identity politics only, an idea popped into my head of an interesting ticket.
The four biggest and most reliable demographics in our party are these:
Women, African Americans, young people, LGBTQ
Harris hits the first two and Buttigieg the last two.
Would that ticket guarantee us a huge turnout?

(94,745 posts)Is Buttigieg a tireless advocate for LGBTQ rights, or does he spend his timr repairing potholes for everyone? Has Harris taken a stronger pro-woman position that Gillibrand? Will young people go for a young candidate over Bernie Sanders?

When he does good on CNN, other programs/stations will have him as a guest.
PS: He is a veteran of the Afghanistan War - another segment he will appeal to,

(50,563 posts)The three biggest and most reliable demographics in the American Fascist Party are people who hate women, people who hate African Americans and people who hate gays.
A Biden/Buttigieg or Harris/Inslee ticket could be fruitful.
