I get the politics of it and why he ended his presidential campaign

[kacekwl]

but I'm so disappointed. Pete was the only candidate I was inspired to vote for. None of the others do that for me. Unless something happens I will lay back see who gets the nomination and vote. I think we missed a moment here and I hope something does happen to get me enthused again. Blue no matter who. Good nite.

5. His name would still be on the ballot

2. For a Democrat, it makes sense...

given that you have at least one campaign managed by those out to rat fuck the Democratic Party.

3. Think of it this way: Pete has great aspirations - maybe vote for a candidate that can help him

attain such aspirations, as President. That's how I would look at it....

4. I felt the same way about Harris

It's hard.

6. I feel exactly the same.

and I agree completely that "we missed a moment here." I felt and I still feel that he is THE man for this moment.

7. same for me, he came out of nowhere in my book, and I was instantly inspired, the fact he

was also a fellow LGBTQ community memeber was just icing on the cake. That said, I am also ruthlessly practical, despite being a Zennial (1996 born) and have zero problems sliding over to Biden to stop Bernie from a Party-wrecking, POTUS AND House-losing nomination. I already voted in January via an CA overseas ballot, and I was so proud to cast it for Buttigieg. Zero regrets!

Cheers and hugz

8. Pete's time will come...

he's not done on the national stage.

9. He's Only 38 and He Would Likely Have His Choice of a Number of Positions in Democratic Admin.

---he really needs to build a resume and he has time to do it

10. Pete Buttigieg & Joe Biden have exchanged voicemails about consolidating support

11. I share your feelings

At first, when I heard of Pete Buttigieg being only a mayor of a modest-sized city in Indiana and running for president, I thought it was some kind of vanity thing. Clearly, during the course of the campaign, he was about ideas and not about himself. That's why he decided to do the right thing in this situation.

Pete's candidacy, and what he did with it, are historic. I feel that by voting for him in the SC primary, I was a teeny part of that history. The end of the Pete Buttigieg story is not yet written, he will leave this election with his head held high, and knowing that he sacrificed for the greater good instead of his own ego.
