I would like to hear unified theories why Buttigieg seems to viscerally trigger lefties in a way that Biden doesn’t.

The primary is like fog-of-war land, because he's running to the left of where Hillary was in 2016 (as is Biden), and so to suss out why there's this unmistakable contempt roaming around out there on his left wing needs a bit of sociology.

I feel certain that Mayor Pete would make a point of distancing himself from trans rights in the general, in order to seem "less extreme" on LGBTQ issues. Biden would not have to do this, bc he's old, everyone assumes he's a little backwards.

You should be ashamed of yourself. I can't tell you how much contempt I just feel. What fucking right do you have to try character assassination? Is it that he is gay and not to be trusted? He is nothing of this but someone who Sees what is needed in politics in the 21st century.

Let’s see what happens if he’s the nominee. I’ll apologize to you and Pete if I’m wrong, if I’m right you can apologize to me and the trans community.
