I feel like everything would somehow be even worse and more insufferable than it is already, except for him likely getting dunked on by Trump.
Oh my god I forgot about this it’s been like what, 4-5 years?
Mayo Pete is so viscerally upsetting I can actually feel my blood pressure rising whenever he speaks, he just has the slimiest most rancid vibes. I still think about how he had a resource map of afghanistan as the centerpiece of his living room.
I will say it was always fun loudly denouncing him during the primaries to give the hets i know permission to dislike him tho
Where I'm from, we care less about The Stand, and more about standing up for american values.
It's so fucking easy to dunk on Pete. He's extremely off-putting to everyone except a specific type of bougie white person and is too much of a nerd to fight back when attacked.
Right, I mean Biden you at least feel sympathy towards.... which is honestly his biggest strength.
A Sorkin-oid, designed to bring Civility and Wit back to this benighted land.
I mean, Sorkin style wit. You can't deny that Pete thinks he's clever when he says things like "The shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue."
I remember that. Can't find the clip now, I tried a few different google searches and literally just got inundated with articles titled things like "Pete Buttigieg is more electable than bernie"
I thought Biden was the third-worst option in the primary, behind Bloomberg in second, and Pete as the stand out worst.
Picking worst/best among them is like asking which flavor of shit you want on top of your sundae.
Nah Bloomberg was the worst, and Klob was just as soulless as Pete or Joe but with absolutely nothing likeable
Pete had a lot of pro-military, pro-imperialist, pseudo-fascist stuff in his platform and writing.
Pete will be back as Kamala’s VP and a future Dem nominee for President
I think he's a scumbag since falsely announcing winning Iowa over Bernie, but can someone tell me why he's worse than Bloomberg or Biden? Both of them are the perfect combination of loathsome, incompetent and politically idiotic- Pete just seems like a regular CIA adjacent lib.
Yeah I'm kinda with you Pete sucks but I don't seem as any worse (or better) than Biden.
pete wanted to decriminalize all drug use and had a path that eventually got to medicare for all. i mean hes a little rat face shit but he would have been miles better than biden who is not giving us anything at all
pete had no integrity and didn't want anything except to be president. he would have said or done anything he had to to get there.
biden sucks ass too, but the idea that pete would have been 'miles better' is a fallacy.
i'd rather the person who is offering me something than the one who isn't. we have no idea what either one of these fucks would do in office beforehand. decriminalizing drug use is just a good idea and he rationalized it and it isn't a popular policy position to win votes. you think his white ass base is sitting there thinking about decriminalizing drugs before he said it? biden wants to wait for more research before he thinks about fucking marijuana, that's what you say when you want to win votes
we do have an idea. it's called accountability. pete literally wrot his college thesis on how we need more politicians like bernie sanders, and then when the time came he did everything in his power to destroy that same person, because he thought it was better for his career. no integrity at all.
neither one of these people are decent, but pete is a special kind of piece of shit.
yes sir sorry i think the legalize all drugs guy is better than the tough on crime guy who's been an absolute disaster for almost everyone i know, my bad. i'm dumb
that's exactly the same thing as a politician saying it when it's not a popular position. the fact that he even brought up the idea and rationalized it to people was helpful, but go off
they're just both equally shit. once they get down to that bedrock bottom of calcified feces, they're all equal.
I don't think Pete wanted to be president even. I don't think he was ever under any illusion that he could get anywhere near that. Pete's job, the task he was grown in a lab to perform, was to impede Sanders' momentum in the early stages of the race. His job was to do whatever he could to prevent Bernie from getting his point across in debates, to muddy the waters on what should have been a clear victory in Iowa, etc. That's why he didn't even pretend to have a platform. That's why he spouted gibberish about "the shape of our democracy" or whatever. He was a fake candidate.
perhaps, one way or the other the guy was a spineless opportunist who lacked any tangible substance or will behind his empty platitudes.
ok. i thought he had a 12 year plan or something that eventually got there. i don't even want to defend this guy i can't stand him. I still think he was offering us more than biden though
top-tier cabinet position unless he's an absolute shit negotiator, he was #2 when he cut a deal to drop out
Problem is he doesn't really have any power anymore. They can just tell him to get fucked now, he served his purpose. Whatever they promised him they could just take back, no consequence.
