    As someone who knows a lot of party libs, they absolutely love him. He’s very eloquent and keeps trying to reach across the aisle by going on Fox. A lot of people really expect him to be the next Obama from speaking skills alone.

      God my mom is one of these. She adores him because “He’s very articulate and well-educated.” Zero analysis of his actual policies or his effectiveness. She thinks people don’t like him solely based on the fact he’s gay and no understanding of how many people see him as a rat. Or how he epitomizes one of the main issues organizing queer spaces, which is white gay men assuming leadership and speaking over women, PoC, trans people, and even bisexual men. That’s just rainbow washed patriarchy.
