I do not discredit her growth and I appreciate it, though she has carefully worded herself as merely believing it is not the governments place to be involved. As far as I know she has not explicitly said that she no longer holds her views about it being a sin or wrong.

I think anyone who spouted that much hate speech from this generation has no business leading the nation. Standards should increase. 

Quote:Buttigieg is an intelligent man with apparently zero policy ideas or positions.  I also don't appreciate his reaction to the police shooting in his city recently.  However, that's a minor, and obviously recent, concern for me.  Quite honestly the Democratic party is moving increasingly left and I strongly disagree with many of their policy positions such as healthcare for all with no private insurance, near unfettered immigration (legal or illegal), repaying student loans en masse for those who made poor decisions (for clarification I repaid all my student loans.  I also got myself into over $60k worth of credit card debt by the time I was 23.  It took a long time and a severe curtailing of my spending but I paid it off totally by my early thirties).  Lastly, their position on the criminal justice system is complete anathema to me.  The consequences of these policies is having severe effects in CA, WA and OR.  Not that they'll admit this in public though, ever.

Buttigieg actually went on the record months ago being in support of a version of medicare for all (who want it) where private insurance is still available to all who want that. There are numerous democrats who are not championing Bernie and Warren's ideas.
