I love Democrats. They think these positions will “win” them voters on the right, who will never vote Democrat. Meanwhile, this gives yet another reason for Leftists like me to say I’m permanently done with this party.

Democrats should be focused on rampant income inequality, skyrocketing housing costs, growing student loan interest rates, rising cost of gas, scathing Medicaid cuts, attacks on immigrant rights and reproductive rights. Instead, they think taking up conservative populist talking points is the way to go. Have fun losing yet another winnable election, motherfuckers.

Also, as a member of the LGBTQ community, FUCK buttigieg. Our community stands together. He is a traitor who only cares about his own image.
