Pete!!! has left...

Ya’ll I’m so sad Pete is gone... My dreams for the first gay president will have to wait. I know Pete was presenting himself as a moderate and that is an important distinction to note. However, I wanted Pete so that we could push for more equality/acceptance. Now that he has dropped out I’m deciding to support Burnie.

The only other option I will support with all of my heart is if Bloomberg and Yang are a ticket.

Thank you Pete for running for pres.! You are an inspiration! <3

Thank you for clarifying for everyone. I got busy for a bit and couldn’t reply immediately! Yes, I really am the daughter of the DU member Laelth.

Bernie and Bloomberg are exact polar opposites in every way.

I don't get that. Policywise, I'd guess they couldn't be further apart in the field of Dem candidates.

Policy wise I prefer Burnie. Bloomberg I don’t like much, but with Yang that changes things. I love Yang and his policies. He is out for pres, but recently Bloomberg reached out to him to be his VP. For some reason Yang is the final nudge that would make me vote for that ticket.

(from the beginning) when I saw him on morning joe speaking with Mika January of 2019 I believe it was. He came across as articulate and answered every question she asked him. She seemed impressed with him as well. Very sorry to see him go.

He’s no where near done with his political career, so I’m comforted by that.
