    One of the most unlikeable politicians pushed on us this decade, who’s been flatly rejected by the voters at every turn, thinks he has a clue about what people want.

    Pete would’ve thrived 20 years ago, but arrived just in time for the death of liberalism.

      Lol.

      Buttigieg went from mayor of a random city to one of the finalists in the Democratic primaries for President of The United States and ended up as Secretary of Transportation.

      In the last 6 months, since the Biden administration ended, he briefly suggested he might run for Senator but then decided not to because he has a baby and wants to try another presidential run in a few years.

      He hasn’t been “flatly rejected by voters at every turn”. The fact that he made it to the final stage of the Democratic primaries when he was just a mayor of a mid-size city is a major accomplishment.

      This guy is a success story and you’re making him out to be a failed politician.

      I’m sure that doesn’t have anything to do with a personal agenda.

      He knows what people want more than the entire GOP. Donald J. Trump is a pedophile, so he thinks people want to have child brides.

        So why hasn’t that translated into better polling and winning elections? If he knows what people want, why does he choose to distance himself from ridiculously popular leftist policies?

        If you’re going to claim a notoriously out-of-touch politician is secretly in tune with the populace, the burden of proof is on you.

          Donald J. Trump: the pedophile only knows what the unearned wealthy want: non-resistant children. And I said Pete knows what people want more than Pedophile J. Trump.

            Cool astroturf, bro.

            Classic pro-Pete comment. Can’t ever articulate what he’s actually for.

              I am directly addressing the Nazi in the room: the wealthy class that have been exploiting the workers. It’s about wealth devide and always will be. Fill in “Pete” with anyone who is not an out of touch rich person.

              Edit: I was responding to the meme. I honestly feel that Pete is an example of how Democrats are actually a right-wing party, and repu licans are far right authoritarian. Dems sabotaged Bernie.

                wealthy class that have been exploiting the workers.

                Like by fixing the price of bread?
