He's pretty alright I think. I like him as a person quite a bit, just not as president.
If Indiana wasn't so awfully red, he'd probably make for a good Governor or Senator there.
I'm not sure I even like Buttigieg much as a person anymore.
I mean, I don't actively dislike him. But it says a lot about a man so profoundly unqualified and so dismissive of an important segment of the Democratic base (until he needs their votes, of course), to then turn around and run anyway. Some people call that bravery. I don't. Do the job you're currently shitty at.

Mob stuff.
It's interesting how alot of "freedom fighters" type organizations go that route; eventually the revenue stream requirements become the goal.
Looks like Mr. Bean trying to pass a kidney stone.They should just send Hangry Pete to make another round then...

Among Miller's co-workers are a few who believe he harbors racist views. "I don't know what other principle could animate such a laserlike focus."
Miller bristled at the claim, calling anyone who labels him a racist "an ignorant fool, a liar and a reprobate who has no place in civilized society."

I've been on the Booty Train a bit longer than most here I think, and from the start I've firmly believed he's got the chops to be president someday. Unfortunately, he decided that's today and I just... don't see it happening. He's just not there yet, and I hope that he knows that and this is just him getting his name recognition boosted. If he doesn't get a cabinet position, I can see him taking a senate seat or governorship in Indiana pretty easily next go around, and maybe from there run for President in 4-8 years.
He just described himself to a T.

I posted this earlier but was too lazy to actually draw anything from it.
TL;DR and reminder of total raised in the June quarter:
$12 million - Kamala Harris was sinking before the first debate, but that performance turned it around (for the quarter at least).
$19 milion - Elizabeth Warren has pretty steadily built up her donor support, much like her polling support, with some key inflection points increasing the floor.
$18 million - Bernie Sanders has a steady base of donors that give on calendar cue.
$21.5 million - Joe Biden had a big start, but since then his donation numbers have been relatively low.
$25 million - Pete Buttigieg has managed to spin televised performances into an influx of cash.
...
$2.8 million - Andrew Yang went on a racist guy's podcast and has since managed to get a bunch of donations from 4chan libertarians.

Bonus:
I think she meant to say "Failed former casino operator". Maybe she didn't think it would fit?
In fairness God has tried his best to ruin him but he keeps getting propped up regardless of how many times he fails.
Jfc
Go run as a fucking Republican if you love them so much.
(Yes I know he is nowhere near Republican on policies, but I'm fucking sick of him white knighting them.)
Some numbers from AZ
Arizona's still in that same +2.5/3 leftward shift if this holds. Sinema got REALLY popular recently too, another good sign for Kelly.

But seriously imagine how much better we would be as a country would be if the GOP was a party of Bidens instead of a party of shitheelsJfc

Gabby Giffords, Sinema, the Obamas, AZ Democratic House members, and the presidential nominee will be able to campaign with Mark Kelly. McSally has... um. Ducey, I guess.
LOL at Sinema supplanting Sue as the Moderate Darling.

I guess it's refreshing seeing a Dem with high numbers in a red state for once.
God, I spent too much goddamned time on the Internet in early college because Twilight Princess immediately flashed into my head.
The current state of /r/SandersForPresident is 💀💀💀so SAD. Kind of like the state of his campaign.
They are literally making threads about viewing counts on YouTube and likes for a tweet. The sub feels more like a stan base for Katy Perry, with fans trying to edge out whatever minimal victory they can.
Poor Bernie he deserved so much more, but he is kind of over tbh.

Hulk smash.
Edit: I like Buttigieg. I think he's witty and funny enough with some decent policy agendas. The media propping him up as God's gift who speaks 8 languages (grows by the day, but the truth is he only speaks a smattering of each language) and an impressive! education background (that several other candidates match) was so obnoxious given his credentials, South Bend fuck ups, and the janky policy he was putting out (it's gotten much better). But I'm mostly over that. I just don't have any desire for him to be my president. Counting "electability," I think I prefer Biden to him.

Wow, it's almost as if Sanders only ever gained any traction in the first place because he was literally the only person who thought it would be productive to run again Hillary Clinton in a primary, got more traction than he would have otherwise because of Russian meddling, and that in the face of multiple other candidates he has a hard time standing out or something.
This is actually a good point and something I've always wondered about. Why did Russia pick Sanders to throw their weight behind when Governor Abs was. Uh. There?
