(58 posts)Being a gay man trumps being a woman or a person of color.
No matter how unqualified the gay man and how qualified the woman and person of color.

(I realize my comments may seem incongruous in light of my primary choice. That choice is based on the extreme need to defeat Trump and the best choice for doing that. Pete Buttigieg has zero chance of doing it. My vote was kind of Harris's to lose, at the outset, and she lost it, but I agree that she would be an excellent candidate for a senior cabinet position. I do think we have to remember that policy and law come almost entirely from Congress, and step back somewhat from the ideological differences between Democratic candidates and focus on how to end Trump. All my life I've wished I had the luxury of "vote your conscience", of vote for rather than against, but the opportunity just seldom comes along.)
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
