Pete Buttigieg rising to the top in Iowa polls

This gump ass mofo is looking like the frontrunner in the Iowa caucus.
It's impossible for Pete to win the primary due to his basically nonexistent black support. If this doesn't fade (and there's still time for that to happen, he's just the current fresh face after Warren's drop), then it could be good in one sense - by beating Biden, he punctures Biden's main selling point, that he's inevitable. That might cause voters in other states to reassess who they support.
Hopefully Bernie (or Warren) would benefit.
That said, fuck Pete.

He's a lukewarm moderate who is unqualified for the position and is completely unelectable in a general election.
deserves to get hated by everyone with how he handled the police in his city

The majority here are Warren/Sanders or bust.
It will be interesting to see the climate here if neither win the nomination
Butti's great, glad to see him rising in the polls even if his shot at winning is limited elsewhere
The hate for him here is over exaggerated. His attacks on Warren make him an asshole but his shift in tone to centrism is solely for this purpose to gain traction. He's as liberal as most. He's attacking M4A because it's a anchor on other candidates, but his view on climate change and reform will certainly shift left.
yes it sucks he has little to no meaningful politicial experience but he's not some complete waste of space. This forum loves to feather and tar for minor reasons so expect this thread to be filled with over dramatic bullshit.

No I don't think the majority of this forum won't vote if neither of those two win the nomination
Probably like it was in 2016 except with even more anger and fervor this time
"but I don't want to vote because Biden doesn't excite me"
"fuck you get out and vote"
repeat

he deserves shit for his positions, not for his sexual orientation
edit: fucking era formatting
- Covering for klansmen police officers
- Using black issues to scam community organizers and activists to artificially boost support
Great character... 😐

Easy, he's moderate. This may surprise you, but outside of Era, the left (and obviously independents) isn't nearly as far left.
You can unclutch your pearls. As a gay man I think its wonderful he's being taken seriously as a candidate.
hes pure shit.
hes always been bad but now hes surging and coaxing billionaire donors while getting MUCH worse on race when he was already straight garbage.
its a meaningless cliche but if Bernie tried to pull a 10th of that Douglass Plan he'd be out

That could play to his benefit too though, it could look like personal attacks rather than substance of the issues
People learned more about him. And people are tired of centrists who always champion doing little to nothing in the face of hard right wing actions.
1. Middle class voters who saw that Warren wouldn't say "no raised taxes" and liked Pete attacking her.
2. White voters who don't really care about his issues with the black community.
3. "He's so smart and eloquent!"
4. New and exciting!
5. There was a recent poll that showed many Democrats want a candidate who both supports big, bold ideas and will work across the aisle. That's not possible but I guess Pete fits that.
6. He's not Biden.
As they should. His track record with the black community is appalling and less people have voted for him in all of his races combined than can fit in the average sized football stadium... he's got no business running for governor of Indiana, let alone president.
Don't really think he could maintain the momentum in the other states, so I'm hoping this will hurt Biden without hurting Bernie/Elizabeth much.
I think at first he was easy to like because he's young and is a good enough speaker. Then he gradually lost popularity when the details of his proposals started painting him as more centrist.
