Pete Buttigieg in a debate

The ports were a mess and he got them sorted
95 literally melted down and he a Shapiro got it fixed in record time.
The bridge collapse will take years to correct but the port was functioning again quickly.
Airlines have to pay us what they owe us.
WTF did Coco Chao ever do besides grift for her shipping magnate family?
He’s wildly competent and headed an agency that has had more success than we’ve seen in decades.

But the difference is that no one is suggesting that Chao’s experience is enough to be president. That plus being a mayor of a city as unimportant of south bend does not a good president make.

And I’m so grateful we’ve had 4 years of Biden. He’s not been perfect, but he’s made us a recognizable USA again. But it’s time to find someone great to replace him.

Anyone think maybe it IS time for President Buttigieg?

Worst Transportation Secretary ever but he is gay so to Dems that makes him qualified.

Why is he the worst ever? Can you articulate?

Transportation has had more success and wins under his leadership than I’ve seen in my lifetime.
Is there some old-head posting that remembers the New Deal? Is that your comparison, gramps?
Because this is the most anyone has done in decades.
Not saying he should be president next year, but you are living in an alternate reality if you can’t admit he’s had so many successes during his tenure.

DP. The performative I’m taking paternity leave as an inspiration for people at my agency is one. Tons of stuff heads of agencies do that doesn’t empower the little people to do as well. They don’t even go through the same vetting process.

He was not reassuring on the rail disasters or on the port backlog issues, that's for sure. Most of that is forgotten at this point. Truthfully, the Department of Transportation is an agency that most people don't think much about when it's working. He also performs stupid stunts like pretending to ride his bike to work.

We don’t talk about the ports, because it got sorted …under his leadership.
Oh were you sad he didn’t give you reassurance during the train derailment?
Well I guess that’s too bad republicans keep pushing for deregulations that cause train derailments. Cry more because Buttigieg can’t fix every problem created by conservatives.

Bridges are racist. Remember that? I wouldn't put him in charge of taking out the trash.

I’m pretty sure Chao would have the distinction of being the worst. Her appointment by Trump was wildly inappropriate since her father founded the second largest Chinese shipping company and her sister drives drunk.

The policies that constructed the bridges were racist. If the choice was to go through a white neighborhood or black/non-white one, it was the black/non-white one every time even if it was more expensive, even if it was indirect, even if it was a longer route. And neighborhoods back then were segregated so don't you dare start spouting some nonsense about how there weren't white and black parts of town. For Christ's sake, cemeteries used to be segregated.

"After Congress passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal in November 2021, a reporter asked Buttigieg about correcting the racist design of some roadways. He responded that "if a highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a Black neighborhood, or if an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach – or that would have been – in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices."

Buttigieg, who launched a $1 billion pilot program in June 2022 to offer aid to reconnect cities and neighborhoods racially segregated or divided by road projects, has made multiple media appearances in the aftermath of the collapse. But he didn't suggest in any of those that any component of the structure's design was racist."

The rail disaster driven by Trump’s deregulation? He didn’t give you a hug to reassure you? That’s all you have?

Transportation is racist. Cars are racist. Asphalt is racist. Trains are racist.

Look, it's clear that you aren't following the real point, through a pp explained it. You aren't participating in this discussion, you're just sounding clueless.

Do Pete and his husband plan on birthing any more children? I don’t want a President who takes 3 months off for paternity leave

Ehhhhhhhhh, Noooooo. Oh I just saw that, a reporter assumed that. Who was it?
