I've been kind of ignoring the "Mayor Pete's not gay enough" stuff because I assumed it was being overblown. But is one of my unhinged blog readers actually he-was-never-a-slut-shaming the presidential candidate, or is this a very good parody of what's really being bandied about?

UPDATE:
Do you mean the expansion of the Affordable Care Act that Pete supports? Or are you referring to Medicare for All, which even if Bernie Sanders gets elected and we eke out a small margin in the Senate WILL NEVER garner the votes needed to become law?

The whole concept that there are "turns" in political candidates is just bizarre. Are we in elementary school?
