[quote=Anonymous]Democrats are desperate. They know Biden has problems - both political and health - that poses major risks for the party in '22 and '24. They also know Harris is a non-starter. A Harris at the top of the election ticket in '24 would only lead to a Reagan style landslide for the Republicans.

I'm not sure why they are seemingly looking more closely at Buttigieg as the heir apparent (it tells you everything that there's already discussions on the heir apparent so early in Biden's administration). Buttigieg is not especially likable. He's a McKinsey empty suit, a gray-faced bureaucrat, an "expert" in an age that is rapidly turning against the failed wisdoms of experts. He's not electable on a national scale outside the Democratic primaries. There will be absolutely no voter enthusiasm for Buttigieg versus a Republican electorate that will be digging up grandma from her grave to get her to vote again.

Frankly, I do think the Democrats are going to take massive hits in both '22 and '24 and there's little they can do about it so they might as well try to score some self congratulating moral points by having a gay presidential candidate (and only the Democrats will care about it too). The party structure and leadership as well as beltway chattering classes are too deeply beholden to the progressive left mindset through their activists and donors and personal beliefs to really understand the scale of the angry revolt that is heading into their direction.
