Buttigieg is one of the best politicians America has right now.
Him growing a beard is a completely different thing from known bitch Ted Cruz growing one.
At failing upwards.
He's just your typical charismatic Centrist who can deliver some catchy sound bites for the billionaire-owned media to obsess about, but has no legislative experience beyond being the mayor of a small town in Indiana, which he apparently wasn't even that good at.
When it comes to authenticity, he's almost exactly on par with Ted "100% Human Candidate" Cruz
Well that might be the single grimmest condemnation of the state of American politics I've seen
Care to explain or are you just a bridge troll?
Guy is incredibly intelligent. Calm. Collected. Fair. He easily handles Fox News pundits while trying to explain things in a way even Fox viewers can understand. Served in the military. Became a mayor before getting into national politics. Got pretty far into the primary process.
I'll wait for your response.
Many horrific politicians are intelligent, calm, collected, and perform well in interviews. You're basically describing Dick Chaney.
Serving the military is not a good thing.
We can't be friends with a take like that. I'll never forgive how he treated Bernie.
This motherfucker can fuck off. He helped the DNC crush Bernie Sanders run in 2020. Also he is a fucking neoliberal who steals titles now.
I see you're part of the crowd that doesn't understand that not enough Americans wanted Bernie to make Bernie happen.
I like Bernie. I'm also aware enough to understand liking someone doesn't mean everyone else does.
If "best" means technically proficient, then sure. He does the politician thing better than any other establishment Democrats I can think of. If "best" means good for the country, then I have some notes. Obama was the same kind of character, and Trump was the result. I'm not sure I want to go down the highly charismatic Wall Street bitch route again.
Lol. Ok.
Let's blame Obama for Trump. We already blame him for everything else.
Not just Obama, but he is a perfect example of the kinds of Democrats that made fascism inevitable.
I mean, that's a really low bar. I like Pete, and I would certainly vote for him instead of just about anyone in any position of government. But I do think our standards have been lowered to the point where "not a nazi shitbag" is going to put him in the upper echelon.
It's sad when a McKinsey ghoul is one of our best choices right now.
