Good d*** it!

Back to undecided

I like that response.
Ugh, bad response.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

I like Pete, but a solid portion of his support seems to be propped up by NowThis news clips on Twitter and YouTube.

Yeah, because O’Rourke definitely gets the same fawning media coverage is Buttigieg. I remember just the other day how Beto laughed at a heckler and got wall-to-wall praise for his handling of it.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Of course FOX is promoting the homophobic family. Clowns.

...Beto is literally running for President because white liberals fawned over his campaign so much that he rode a wave of being an it-boy into a field he doesn't belong in

Bad tactics, man. Buttigieg is so color blind that he doesn't see the inherent racism of this stunt.

How do you think this will gain him Southern black votes?

I think calling it inherently racist is dumb, tbh.

[libertpaulian]

lol, what's next, is he going to pose with a bucket of fried chicken and hold a bottle of hot sauce in his hand?

A white guy drinking beer with black guys is racist?

Okay 1960s George Wallace.

Yeah, Pete definitely went on the show with the intention of doing exactly this and he definitely did it because he wanted to court black voters. I'm sure the hosts were deeply offended when he suggested that they do this, but Pete forced them at gunpoint to play into a racist fantasy that he clearly has.

[Mr. Smith]

Both 2016 candidates did that, I guess that would explain what happened in Wayne and Milwaukee counties huh?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Regardless, Buttigieg does have a PoC problem that he needs to fix to have any hope of getting even the Vice Presidential nomination this cycle, Thing is, it won't be solved by mere media stunts

Perpetuates the stereotype of black people drinking on 40s in the hood.

Pretty sure that's not a stereotype that actually exists

[henster]

Such an absurd controversy he was literally doing what the hosts wanted him to do. Why are people acting like this was his idea?

He needs to be more racially conscious. I get the hosts told him to do that but it was a stupid move

That's an amazingly specific stereotype that I've never heard of. I imagine you would have to be considerably old to be aware of it, if it even exists.

Lol im black and under 30 years old. How have you never heard this? Surely the black guy who tweeted this out doesn't think it's amazingly specific.

It's certainly not a thing in Puerto Rico, and it's not something I've seen in media or experienced in conversations or in any social circles in the mainland all my life.

I guess I'm fortunate enough to not have been exposed to all this hyper-racialized crap.
