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.

It's already been decided that Newsom will get the nomination. He has the most important asset, that both Harris and AOC both lack: a penis. If there's one lesson that Democrats have learned over the past 12+ years, it's that penis-havers have an advantage.

Buttigieg is an interesting wild card: Is simply having a penis enough to win, or does it matter how you use it?

Wouldn't surprise me. He's nice and cozy with fascists as evidenced by his willingness to platform them on his podcast.

And throwing away the meager posessions of the unhoused so that the wealthy aren't bothered by the guilt.

That seems to be what gets you elected in NYC these days, promising to be the biggest prick to homeless people.

That's the only lesson you learned? Really? Nothing else comes to mind?

Oh, I've learned a lot more about why we keep electing shitty people, but that's the only lesson the Democrats have learned.
