New poll shows who Dems want in 2028 — and it’s not Kamala Harris (www.yahoo.com)

The poll, released on May 30 by Atlas Intel, found Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and former transportation secretary in the Biden administration, to be the top pick among Democrats who responded to the survey.

A total of 31.5% of self-identified Democrats who responded to the poll said they would vote for Buttigieg for president in four years, according to the poll.

Other surveys in May from firms such as Echelon Insights and McLaughlin & Associates have found Harris in first place in the hypothetical primary, making Atlas Intel’s poll stand out among the rest.

Harris is the third most popular pick among Democrats in the poll, falling behind U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

And how is Buttigieg qualified to lead the country? He did fuck all as the Secretary of Transportation. He's a pro-corporate hack.

I'm gay and he has never given me a reason to like him. Him acting like Medicare for All would be a bad thing was what initially turned me off from him.

He's man. Also he's not woman. Ez

Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 by 2.9 million votes against Trump and she was insanely unpopular for reasons most people can agree on (that don't relate to gender).

I don't think misogyny played a major factor in Kamala's loss.
