Pete Buttigieg 2020 campaign megathread

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I feel like this candidate is all media hype. I don't get it at all.

I liked him at first but it’s starting to be too much. What is he even running on? All I hear is him talking about Mike Pence.

Guess we’ll see in his launch speech and the debates. I hope he stops pandering to Trump voters and evangelicals.

But I thought Kamala was the "Anointed One"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Uh oh! Looks like Prince Pete isn't as perfect as Atlas had hoped. Is Atlas going to cut him as deep as they did Harris? We'll find out!

The NYT out with a Balkan hitman piece against Pete:

Hooboy, if that was Kamala, Atlas users would've convened at her Senate office to riot, luckily for him, he's a conservative white male.

If Pete can be called a conservative, then Kamala quite easily can too, so...

Lol no. Do you know anything about the woman?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

LOL watch him win the nomination, be hailed as the new Obama, and then lose to Trump. That'll teach the media on propping up platitude candidates, and LOL @ any person who thinks he has the minority appeal to win back Florida and Michigan.

>complains about media propping up candidates
>has Harris in sig

OK

They literally spent a week debating whether she was black enough. Next.

Atlas CRUCIFIED Harris for doing something far minor than this FYI-

I still don't understand the hype.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I still don't understand the hype.

Honestly I don’t either. He’s not as policy oriented as Warren or as charismatic as Beto.

Yep, I honestly don't get it

Seriously though, he's all media hype. Sure he can speak 13 languages, he's gay, and he and his husband are cute, but how does that make him a better candidate than Warren and Harris? What are his policy proposals? It seems to me he's just winging this entire election. Sure he has some witty attacks against Pence on homosexuality and christianity, but that's it. How is that going to defeat Trump?

We can only hope his momentum dies soon before the Democratic electorate is actually stupid enough to give him the nomination.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

LOL he'll do even worse than Hillary with the WWC.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

LOL

I could easily see Buttigieg being the runner up to Sanders or Biden in the primary and then winning the nomination and defeating Pence in 2024 after Sanders or Biden lost the general to Trump.  This could be the most likely way he becomes president. 

By 2024, progressives will dominate the Democratic Party, this is Pete's only shot.

yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiikes

The Fyre Festival candidate is coming apart at the seams.

Apparently science isn't one of the 19 languages he speaks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Biden/Buttigieg would be an awesome ticket, I would be very happy about that.

That is possibly the blandest and most unexciting ticket the Democrats could possibly throw up.

Nah, you're thinking of Kamala/anyone.

Obviously you've never heard her speak... but I should've already known you'd prefer the white male conservatives.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Pete has released a page on his website detailing specific policy proposals and goals for a variety of issues.

This is a great step towards him solidifying himself as a serious contender.

He's just paraphrasing the ideas of other candidates.

You've shown a pretty consistent inability to think impartially or critically on anything relating to Pete Buttigieg so perhaps you should respectfully never post in this thread again, lad.

Ya know, nothing I said in my comment was even remotely untrue, but ok. By all means, live in this fantasy that Peter is somehow the white male savior us democrats need. It won't end well for you.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Of course FOX is promoting the homophobic family. Clowns.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Yea.. Pete isn't ready.

This is pathetic. South Bend has a race problem and he's acting as a product of it.

This is a better thread, if you all want to get over obsessing about a soundbite. Buttigieg has literally done nothing wrong concerning this shooting, he's doing all he can within the constraints of the law. There are other things to attack him on- using this shows the attacks are just disingenuous (which, of course, they often are). And worse, it's using a police shooting to score sick burns against someone you decided you don't like.

I can't get over him wanting to leapfrog from Mayor to President despite doing nothing remarkable during his tenure. And I hate how the media acts like he revitalized the city or something when all he did was govern during the recovery.

Glad to hear that all cities in the rust belt are doing as well as South Bend, and are actually rising in population for the first time in a long while!
Seriously lol. People in Atlas seem to pick who they hate and who they like based on arbitrary personal factors and then just roll with it stubbornly. You don't have to support Buttigieg to admit he was a good Mayor.

Not what we've been hearing from his constituents so far lol

Don’t worry y’all! He’ll televise an apology three times: first in English, then in French, and finally, Italian! Then, he’s gonna SHRED Metallica on an electric guitar, and finally he’ll end it with a kiss for Chasten and the media will forgive him and go back to branding him as the lord and savior of the United States of America!

/s

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually became the frontrunner if he were to ever pull such a stunt, as described. The media and the Democratic electorate haven’t learned anything from 2016.

This post really is a triumph of your saltiness.

Your platitude candidate isn’t so hot after all. Turns out talking about policy and handling a small city crisis isn’t his forte. He’s nothing but Atlas’s and the media’s new shiny thing. Come back to me when he suspends his candidacy because he can’t take the heat.

Buttigieg is polling 0% with AAs in the new CNN poll. Stick a fork in him.
