Yet, according to you, one Politico puff piece - clearly placed by PR - is the “entire Democratic machine,” or whatever equally bonkers statement you made. |
I mean, even if I go along with your premise (and ignore healthcare reform, adding a ton of jobs, improving the Dow Jones quite a bit, not being a big old racist, having a positive vision of America, appointing a couple of solid Supreme Court Justices, etc.) - you're mostly blaming him for Republican stuff here. So maybe your anger is displaced? |
This thread should be retitled
“Why are republicans so afraid of Mayor Pete?” |
Not really. Because they aren't. IT's the Democrats who are afraid of Biden. Namely, Biden dying. Or going too obviously senile. |
Puhleez. How many threads do the RWNJ’s posting here need to start about him? I guess I get it. He is a fantastic communicator. |
On the contrary. It seems Democrats on this thread are entirely triggered by the idea of Mayor Pete running for president. Probably because they know how badly he would lose. But there are some mighty defensive Dems here, insisting there's no push for Pete. |
You do realize there are multiple posters here, right? |
Exactly. I'm all for a Mayor Pete presidential candidacy! ![]() DP |
The OP of this thread is very clearly a liberal. Your narrative is so tired. |
A few more articles about Buttigieg as the next presidential candidate in waiting. Both in left and right wing publications.
So there is some traction, despite what some people want to claim. Don't worry. It'll probably go nowhere. Biden will likely run again because he's the only hope against Trump. And he'll lose. Badly probably. |
Part of the reason so many of us like Pete (I'm not saying that many people are 'all in') is because he gets what America and the Democratic Party needs. "A Letter from Flyover Country" was his opening salvo into national politics five years ago:

I'm fine with Biden. But I'd say heart disease will get Trump before he has the chance to lose another election. |
You sure do see what you want to see bub! |
I think folks see/hope for a gay Obama.
If Pete in 2024/8 focuses on a message for all, that treats people as aspiring to do better on their own talents and skills, and shaping a government that lets people do that, as opposed to patiently waiting for government to solve all their problems, or hoping government beats down all the wrong-thinkers, or that elections can be rioted against if they come out the wrong way. The alternative is more navel gazing about how racist we all are, defunding the police, forgiving criminals, letting everyone in, and forcing trans women onto HS sports teams. That doesn't work with Whites, and it seems actual POC as opposed to Twitter POC don't seem to like it much either, if we take 2020 and 2021's election results in mind. Because the alternative, to me, is letting the crowds of 1/6 take over. But that isn't enough for many people. Fulminating about how dumn they all are won't exactly work, either. So we have to focus on the legitimate grievances and concerns of the people. |
I like when Republicans, like OP and the newly signed in gooper PP, advertise they have absolutely zero grasp on reality. |
