I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
I saw dem candidate Julio Castro this week, delicately pointing out that Pete Buttigieg has a "problem" with the African American vote. Of course, he deftly side stepped the reason why - it's because he is gay. And African Americans, on average, tend to be a bit homophobic:

Can you imagine if it was white evangelicals who were anti-Buttigieg? We all know the answer - Castro would have been calling for their "cancellation" en masse! Yet there was Castro, leaving the obvious unsaid, because of course, there is a double standard at work here. Castro is seeking to benefit politically from African American anti-gay bias, which is the equivalent of tacitly endorsing it. Commence the circular firing squad!
