Buttigieg is obviously more mature than some here.

Name calling is just stupid, puerile, and in the end, self defeating.

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Fat-shaming of Trump is one of my pet peeves here on DU.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I have no problem at all with supporting candidates that do fat shame Cheetolini given his regular attacks on people including calling people based on being overweight (like Rosie “Fat Pig”), or Misogyny, or racist, or on their religion... I absolutely REFUSE to condemn any of our candidates that fights fire with fire on Trump or his ilk.

Now, if tRumpublicons and the Cheeto himself every decide to cease in such base attacks and behavior, I will GLADLY reconsider my position. But as long as they keep going at our media, our leaders, and our party members this way? Fuck em. Turn about is fair play.

But, at the same time, I love and respect our candidates that do still wish to go high when they go low, and will proudly support them as well.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
