I can't think of many people less hip than Pete. He is like the stereotype of the college kid that narcs out his dorm mates for smoking pot for literally no gain other than the satisfaction that the Rules have been followed.

He has "I wish he was my grandson" energy from the boomers though so there's that.

Yeah she know's her role is a twitch streamer that sometimes gets quoted by politico. She is irrelevant as a House member since her party line vote is secure.

he cancelled a campaign event at a gay club because it had a dancer pole

quote:

Update: The pole has been identified by patrons as a dancer pole, rather than a stripper pole.

A Providence, R.I., fundraiser for Pete Buttigieg's presidential campaign was moved at the last minute because of a stripper pole, according to people associated with the Friday night event.

Originally planned for the the Dark Lady, a gay bar in the Rhode Island capital, the fundraiser was moved after Buttigieg staff became aware of the pole and realized it couldn't be taken down. The event — starring Chasten, Buttigieg's husband — was then moved to the Hotel Providence, according to the Providence Journal.

Yeah, I always cringe when someone tries to be earnest with people like this. You deal with liberals by out-condescending them and acting exasperated.

It's kind of similar to the way you deal with conservatives, actually; it's always a terrible idea to be earnest.

i agree but the dinosaurs running the party think he's appealing to young people instead of the reality, which is that Pete is the kind of guy most young people make fun of for being a loving sociopathic nerd whose entire driving force throughout his entire life has been "i will be president one day"

lol it owns that this loving rodent was ahead of the eventual president and he got squeezed out by party machinery in action and then turned down a position where he'd actually have the material capacity to build himself all kinds of intraparty alliances and loyalty and poo poo but opted for a job where he can post pictures of train lines that will never be built

but no no Pete is totally a strategic supergenius and definitely not an overeducated apple-polisher

The crazy thing about Pete weirdos is they love this poo poo. Hell they probably prefer their guy having to take the long incremental path to power to gaining it instantly. Wouldn't be proper that way.

It’s amazing that they feel like Pete is doing things “the right way” after had his shady app-developer friends gently caress with the delegate totaling to fluff up his vote numbers.

The little rat should have been investigated and at the very least booted from the Democrats, but he cheated to stop Bernie so he’s rewarded instead.

I've been saying this for like two years now, Pete brings out a visceral reaction in me because he's the wrong kind of nerd, the rules-fetishist suckup nerd, the everything-is-college-resume-material nerd, the nerd who does SAT prep without his parents telling him to

Never, ever forget that Pete and his campaign of assholes fought to have the satellite locations on the Iowa primary thrown out since they went for Sanders, those locations having large minority representation. Between that, the coin flip, that app his campaign was tied to, his manager being behind the Republcan Senate in New York, and him declaring victory ahead of the results and he isn't even a nerd that wants to do things by the rules, he's just a corrupt power hungry creep.

The opposite - he "technically" won Iowa, which is the best way to win at anything. If he merely won by getting more votes it would have been sullied - a vulgar thing, to be liked by the people. A true technocrat doesn't need the people to win, he needs systems, and Pete unambiguously had the systems in place to win.

It's a shame for him that Iowa was the only race the dems needed him for lol

Pete playing by rules that don't apply to normal people doesn't mean he wasn't playing by the rules. Bernie broke the rules by campaigning in those same satellite locations, which is why he is recorded as the loser.

I can't stress enough how there was absolutely no chance of Bernie ever winning. It was literally all ephemeral.
