I thought the contry wouldn't be ready for Pete Buttigieg but I've changed my mind

28. And some think that nominating another woman will surely work 'this time', and not set us up for a third female loss in

a row (in just 4 cycles as well).

I am a cis-gendered queer, mixed race black, atheist female and in 2028 I will only advocate for a straight, white, christian male as our nominee.

2028 is our last shot before the post 2030 census reapportioned House (and thus the Electoral College map as well) kicks in in 2032 and ratfucks us hard.

We are staring at a negative 20, maybe more, net Blue to Red or Pink state US House seat swing, which will make winning both the House and POTUS a lot harder for us.

We simply MUST win POTUS, the House, and (a heavy AF lift if we do not chip away at it in 2026) the Senate in 2028, and then have 2 years to try and roll back vast parts of the Trumpian nightmare damage.

Hopefully we can win the House all 3 times (2026, 2028, and 2030) before the 2032 and beyond maps kicks in. Hopefully we can take back the Senate in 2028 and even hold it in 2030.

IF we lose POTUS again in 2028, things are looking truly grim going forward.

The country is now (post the 2012/2013ish beginning rise of new hyper divisive, algorithm-driven social media archetype, now rocket-fuelled by AI) even more entrenched (and getting worse, with younger males especially, including all races, now running headlong into the clutches of the right) in its misogyny.

Running a female POTUS nominee yet again, for the 3rd time in 4 elections, is far too great a risk, given the stakes, for me to condone.
