He’s a clown. But he’s a clown #blueanon can get behind.
What makes him a clown? I think he has no charisma and would never inspire people to vote for him. In my viewpoint he is an uncaring pragmatist that would govern like you would expect a Mckinsey(ite) to.
Pete is an agendite. I don't see any plan that's grounded in reality. I see a plan that's formulated to pay off the dark money that flows through the Biden/Democratic party like a raging river. I see a plan to that will pay off quite well for entities that are not domestically based, and I see a plan that hammers the average American. I'm not the least bit impressed the job that Pete's agency is doing. Now admittedly that could be an offshoot of the #shitshow that is the Oval Office and the people that control our President.
Maybe Pete can break away into reality if he's ever back on the stump on his own accord. But as of right now, no thanks.
Not sure how anyone could argue against this.
Perhaps I'm biased, but Pete is the only politician I actually will earhole people about. I appreciate Bernie's honesty/sincerity, but like the Democratic party establishment, I also recognize his proposed policies don't stand a chance of becoming law (currently, of course).
He's a devoted Obama acolyte. If I walks like a duck...
I like a steady Captain manning the ship's wheel. Also, and I'm not trying to be condescending, but the Democrats would do well to pay attention to the voices they don't hear on the internet, because the majority of the country exists in the middle, policy-wise. I think the leadership of the party knows that, hence the undermining of Bernie and the non-Biden, moderate-ish candidates dropping out of the race right before Super Tuesday in order to consolidate support behind Biden. Granted, Biden's not the best, but Trump was infinitely worse. This is our system.
The Democrat party would be better off not listening to people like you, wetwillie, and RATM who are, three white men, who presumably doing well with your finances and don't have grievances.
Obama was a statesman who cared about governance, processes, and the appearance of unity. Not only did his spoken agenda got completely wrecked, but he got branded as some radical liberal. His need to have beltway insiders look on him kindly is the greatest reason Roe v. Wade wasn't codified. His need to be admired by people who read The Economist and Roll Call led to the right having a 6-3 majority on the supreme court.
28 years of center governance and Washington insider politics led to trumpism, and the democrats completely lost the working class of this country. They caught a break, because trump was such a sack of crap and trainwreck. What did the Dems do with that break? Only nominate and elect the least popular president in American history and get a majority of congress that they can't do a damn thing with, other than continue to stack up Ls.
Most of the country thinks we are headed in the wrong direction and Pete absolutely represents the status quo of corporate politics, that most of the country has repeatedly told you idiot democrats that they don't want.
