Are we not supposed to critique candidates during the primary or something? What exactly are we not "getting"?

So are we just supposed to not say anything? I feel like this is a completely exaggerated concern and much different than Clinton, where the bashing was mostly from the right wing over literally decades and much of it based on completely lies. Buttigieg has said, done, and support some pretty bad stuff, and the good things he supports he seems to do in a nebulous fashion without taking any explicit stance. His position on felons not being able to vote is objectively horrible and racist as fuck. I don t want him to win the primary over Warren or Sanders, but if he does, I definitely agree with getting behind him over Trump.

Bernie fucking wussed out on it.I completely disagree.

But calling this guy the fucking devil one too many times can and will put off a complacent, fence sitting mouth breather from voting at all if he does get the nomination. And there are A LOT of these people.Are you saying those people read the Electrical Audio forum?While I don't really want to poke fun at Jeff, this was the very first thing that crossed my mind.On the "Men's/Ladies' Shoe Size" "Are You Actually Big Time?" scale, I have a feeling the PRF is about a "Size 5(Ladies)".

Things that are better than Trump include Mayo Pete, The Hairsniffer, and a poke in the eye. "Better than Trump" is an immense, useless category, of interest, I think, mainly to persons whose political involvement = 1% voting + 19% browbeating people online + 80% napping. Seething hobbyists.Mayo Pete is a cipher. There was a long US tradition, dead currently, called Social Gospel, or left christianity. Anybody who's studied what JC said knows it makes a lot of sense for such a thing to exist. But if Pete is supposed to represent a restoration of this tradition, then why do these two articles, both published by the god squad, both predicated on exactly that premise, both totally fail to meaningfully associate him with that movement or its ideas? They try to, but they can't.That is a tell. At best the guy is a blank slate upon which milquetoast liberals may project any old shit they wish to see, and at worst, he's not actually associated with left christianity at all. That would be a real shame and loss of opportunity, because as long as we've got holy rollers everywhere, for fucking sure we could use a whole bunch of left christians getting in the face of US business.-r

The Obama/HRC bundlers like him. Major bundlers who raised money for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton s presidential campaigns are throwing their efforts behind South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who will come to Washington next month for a fundraiser.The fundraiser comes as Buttigieg is increasingly attracting interest and enlisting help from major Democratic bundlers, with more than two dozen of the party s top fundraisers now supporting him,https://www.nbcnews.com/card/buttigieg- ... rs-n996121Weird how the wealthy establishment bundlers fear and despise Bernie and Warren for some reason but love this guy and Beto.

The fuck is going on where this sack of shit security state centrist whose only policy value is rich people want me to beat bernie has any NC votes? Do your fucking research people.
