The gay former transportation secretary
What on earth does his sexuality have to do with this topic? Why bother mentioning it?
Advocate focuses on the LGBT community.
I get it, it's still jarring though. I get that an LGBTQI+ mag would want to promote his sexuality to prove visibility of senior civil servants or G-men or whatever the US calls them, but it just feels like a qualifier that shouldn't be necessary.
Happy to learn otherwise though, I'm open to opinions.
Trump rapes children.
Never forget Buttigieg is a McKinsey guy. His folksy Howdy Doody shit is an act. He is not on the side of the people.
During a speech in 2019, Pete Buttigieg, then a presidential candidate, stated that he would have taken a pill to make him straight if it had been available when he was younger
He said this with his husband and newly adopted son in the audience.
Dude is just another Andrew Cuomo / Gavin Newsom waiting to happen.
Exactly. He doesn't "believe" anything per se. He's a cypher. Believes are fungible; having a belief is a transaction for him.
It's the fundamental difference between authentic politicians who have a belief and then seek the power to make that belief a reality, versus wanting power and then adopting whatever beliefs it takes to get you there.
Yeah, gay men from more prosperous backgrounds have some fucked up coping skills, they get worse as they rise in the world.
It’s more about class sickness than anything about being gay. Being a sexual minority fucks you up in any scenario, it’s just how the fucked upedness plays out at that level.
As a good old fashioned working class male homo who can pass as prosperous due to education and natural perspicuity, I have broad experience seeing how class fucks up gay men specifically.
it can't be that Buttigeig is just an extreme corporatist who would say anything to get power?
Never forget nobody@dbzero once bought items off Amazon. They are not on the side of the people.
I’d take Buttigieg over Trump, but I wouldn’t support him in the primary. McKinsey is a fucking terrifyingly militantly corporate entity. Buttigieg would have to distance himself from them to a high degree to deserve any trust moving forward as a candidate.
As an official seeking the release of the Epstein files, I support him and everyone else making the call 100%.
As a Democrat Strategist that's a BAD Idea! Republicans OBVIOUSLY love Pedophiles like Jeffrey Epstein so we should INSTEAD tell people We ALSO had Sex with Children on Child Rape Island as to NOT Upset Republican voters who will NEVER vote Democrat!
We didn't know about cointelpro and other clandestine operations until civilians broke into the FBI office and stole files. We won't see the Epstein list unless something similar happens.
Did Trump have issues with his bone spurs when he was raping 12 year old girls, or did the bone spurs only cause an issue when we was shitting his pants to afraid to fight for his country because he’s a cowardly pile of shit?
Lying his way out of Vietnam so he wouldn't have to rape and kill people was probably the most virtuous thing the man has ever done.
Don't think he got off easy, though. Managing his sex life in the 80s and avoiding STDs was his personal Vietnam, after all....
Why do you say was? Do you think he had a sudden change of heart the instant Epstein died? From that day to now he's been a straight arrow?
Prosecuting pedophiles would help. Make "holy people" mandatory reporters just as therapists and teachers are.
He's right but screw that mealy mouthed two faced establishment democrat
Not wrong, he’s just a smug McKinsey asshole.
I like Pete and all, butaybe the politicians should stop hoping they should do something and, y'know, just DO something?
I bet he bought that headline from the buttigieg 2028 funds he's already started collecting on the sly.
He's a greedy grasping politician with burning ambition where his ideals should be.
....so south bend chnged since i left...
