I just wish Mr. Buttigieg wasn’t confined to such a low-stakes role in the administration. It’s great that he gets the occasional moments like this, but he’s not exactly being set up for a run at the Presidency in 2028.

Mr. Buttigieg is just a small bean from Indiana. If we want real leadership, we need to look to a more successful set of mayoral candidates. Like Michael Bloomberg or Lori Lightfoot.
Is it too late for him to replace Biden?
Yes, it will be Newsom
Whitmer or whitehouse woukd be better, but the way the DNC plays things, they would obviously choose the weakest candidate for no reason other than to not seem biased against their opposition. It’s fucked. The whole thing is fucked.
I think it’s a bit more nuanced than that. They’ll obviously choose the most neoliberal candidate they think they can get away with, and try to pass him (and it will be “him”) off as “progressive”
If only there was some kind of formal method for identifying and vetting and selecting the party representatives, as part of - like - an election or something. I feel like if maybe we’d started back in January and had a bunch of debates between these people early on, we might be able to include ourselves in the discussion.
Instead, I guess we’re just going to wishcast our favorite blue state governor into the White House, until the DNC Convension disabuses us of our delusions.
central planning model and this dictatorial policy
Fuck you, Scott Perry.
Its the same shit from these people day in and day out. The Reagan Playbook is half-disintegrated in their hands but they can’t stop running it.
Lee Atwater playbook, but yes.
Good. This is the kinda shit Dems should keep doing. It doesn’t matter if it sounds petty, these assholes are a threat to our democracy, they should not be allowed to spew their lies without consequences. If the press refuses to do their job, it falls to whoever is closest to a Republican.
Step 1: sell the press to the rich
Step 2: everything is shitty now, but why?
We sold everything else to the rich. Why stop at the press?
Him or Bernie should have been president
They called him Mayo Pete for valid reasons, perhaps a refresher is in order.
