So stop fawning over him and look at his policies. Now, white, gay men aren’t leading with Pete Buttigieg’s sex appeal. But they don’t have to. Their actions, celebrating him like he’s the next cumming of Jesus Christ, read loud and clear. I’m not discounting the exciting proposition of an out, gay candidate for any office. I yearn for far more diversity among our elected officials, but not at the expense of policies that will help the LGBTQ population, and us all. Let me be clear. I, too, would sit on Mayor Pete’s face. But only to shut him the f**k up from saying all that racist shit. And that equivocation shit. And all that self-serving shit. For a few weeks now I’ve been seeing Pete Buttigieg mania everywhere, especially among white, gay men: social media, corporate media, conversations with white, gay male friends. And it’s gotten to the point where I felt it necessary to dispel some myths about the two-term Democratic mayor from South Bend, Indiana. Sure, Mayor Pete, as many call him…
Us Democratic Party Vectors by Vecteezy Has it been 4 years already? My, how time flies when your country is held in the iron grip of the new Nazi reich! Why, just a few ICE roundups ("The goal is to terrorize"), concentration camps, and blatant systematic sex trafficking barons, and it's like the first term of "I still can't believe he's president" Trump just flew by! Yet oddly, we have all aged a couple centuries in four years. Which makes my job here as a political prophet this election season that much more dismal.

As of now, Republicans are openly out to destroy the world in a giant apocalyptic fireball and Democrats are just the people mildly murmuring a token resistance. There's no such thing as political parties right now; there's just barely…
I don't volunteer to write about politics, you know. They make me here. I am of course glad to rave about the circus clowns as much as the next guy, I have my tweets and stand by them. But in the big picture, I know it doesn't do any good. The United States has transcended politics now. Elections, primaries,
democracy, laws, impeachment, parties, these things mean nothing in
the United States. They mean nothing because that's what the people
want them to do. It doesn't matter
at this point whether Donald Trump is removed from office or not. Pretending that removing Trump would fix everything at this point is like pretending assassinating Hitler would have stopped World War II. A new despot would have simply risen to take Hitler's place. Hitler was nothing without the country that brought him to power. The same case is true of Kim Jong-Un, Rodrigo Duterte, Xi
Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and of course Vlad
Putin. The United States has even proven this to itself before. We went into…
