8. I've voted exclusively for Democratic presidential candidates for over 50 years now.

Some I knew would lose and they did. If our next candidate were Buttigieg (who I believe is eminently qualified) I would vote for him with the knowledge he would likely lose.
Democrats...we are such an idealistic bunch. We lose 2 out of the last 3 elections with s female candidate and then think nothing of choosing an openly gay male as our candidate.

Let's be real here...Buttigieg would never make it past the primaries. This is a vital election, one that Democrats MUST win, so we must pick a safe and electable candidate. This is NOT the time to take a risk. Let's recover America because another Republican president would finish us off if we survive the one we have.
