Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Why Sharing the Stage with His Husband Is a Reason to be Hopeful 

Yes!

He don't for now, until time gets closer and they start digging up his dirt.

Yeah it's important to be nice when you're busy not saying a word about policy and instead spending your time on national television convincing people you're nice.

Til you realize the shady meetings he's been having with the establishment corporate centrist democrats about how to screw over Bernie Sanders. I did NOT see that coming from this dude and I'm shocked that he fooled me man. They need to stop attacking Bernie and seeing him as some "problem" and let the damn primary play out with no shenanigans this time or ppl will be PISSED.

Seeing a lot of people claiming Buttigieg is some sort of corporate shill based on...what? I've yet to see any source that claims any of these theories. Until such a time that those sources are given, the lot of you just seem to be antagonistic towards the guy because he's not Bernie Sanders; who also doesn't actually have any plan to get any of his polices through Congress aside from brute force, which has never worked, ever.

Pete Buttigieg is against Medicare for All. He is against free public colleges. He claims his time on wall street was the best years of his life. He called protesters calling for a living wage "social justice warriors" (which is a right wing talking point). He gentrfies his own town. He is just another corporate establishment Dem. Don't fall for his bullshit.

@@theaviary238 exactly

He has a great personality but talks NOTHING of policy. Notice he NEVER gets tough or accusatory questioning. And how has a politician YOU NEVER HEARD OF gotten on virtualy EVERY platform within a month?

Anthony Wayne stop fawning over personality instead of substance. Buttigieg like mentioned by others is a corporate democrat who will cater to Wall Street and the corps. But hey as long as he is gay and can speak Norwegian we should give him a chance I guess?

@@theaviary238 can you provide a link or source? I wanna read more on his policies/views

That my the his big Money donations from the elites that you’re thinking of.

ScootMagoot46 actually that was a line from one of the ladies on The View. And as a Republican who does not necessarily agree with everything Mayor Pete has to say, I believe that his demeanor actually is serving as a healing tonic for the toxic political discourse that has poisoned BOTH sides.

oh for christs sakes

Jetthe wolf: If you want someone with military experience to run our country, then please look into the candidacy of Maj. Tulsi Gabbard. 2 tours in Iraq/Afg, 15 yrs (and counting) of service in HI Natl Guard. She is very intelligent, courageous, and compassionate. She wants to end the regime change wars, supports Med4All, and tuition-free public college. Also, she has the voting record to back up her positions.

You should look a little harder;) he's done many interviews and explains his views on many policies as well as gives well, thought out ideas on how to implement. He's the real deal, this interview didn't do him justice.

Well hes for abolishing the electoral colege, 10 supreme court justices then then 10 nominate the other 5, passing HR1, and medicare for all if you want it. But more importantly hes trying to win an era so even when he leaves office the republicans will still be on our terms just like we were always on theirs terms with reagans

@@EddieB12 Pete B has also taken lots of money from big bundler donors like Goldman Sachs (the same @ssholes who helped to nearly bankrupt our economy bin 2008). Do you really think he has the best interest of the working-class class, or will he cow tow to his fat cat donors....just like Obama did.

Christopher Roscoe I think at this point he’s just letting people get to know him and then he’ll dive deeper into policy

Based on WHAT exactly? Where does he stand on the ACTUAL ISSUES? WHAT will he fight for and against?

Dilbert Hogwash Somebody read their newsletter this week. Good job copying and pasting.

I dunno. The younger a candidate is the less likely they've had enough life experience to have gotten dirty. Here's hoping he's retained some youthful optomism, maybe that'll make him a more aspirational leader.

Stephen Colbert already interviewed Pete bruh

TheZooropaBaby Seth interviewed Pete in 2017. Bruh.

I haven't seen the Bernie Sanders essay before in other interviews.

@@da96103 He's mentioned it a couple of other times. One was on Pod Save America and I believe he also mentioned it on The Breakfast Club (though I'm not totally convinced that happened. I'm at like 80% positive he did, but that's not exactly a great percentage). Also, for all the people claiming he's all substance and no policy, he's absolutely gone through a lot of it on the previously mentioned scenarios. You just have to dig for it instead of just listening to the 10 minute interviews and chose to view the ones that are an hour long or so.

#peteforamerica

For real. I never ever in my life would have thought about seeing a gay, combat veteran, Christian loving man running for office. Keep it up mayor Pete 👍🏼

Dude get out of your moms basement!

Ceco Elvisa yes he will be the nice version of trump without mean tweets. But he will still be shilling for Wall Street, corps, and the military industrial complex.

He won't win it either. Too many dems for any of them to win. Even if they get more than half the country's votes, right now there's too many. If it were one or two maybe one could win lol, but not with 20.

I'm glad a breath of fresh air is enough for your life on the ground to improve. How about policy? How about the lives of others? Airheads for another empty suit. Buttigieg is a corporate tool on the making, just like Obama, who said things to make us feel good, but favored Big Money over the Little Guy at every turn. Just a few weeks ago this comment section would have been all falling for Buttigieg, but I'm glad to see that people are already waking up!

He is the best candidate & has shown he us capable of listening & evolving.

@@abbysparkles6744 'and exactly that what he is is'

right? it's so nice to imagine that someday someone would say: Pete as the first Gay President the same with Obama is the first Black President. But I heard that he's in line behind the two woman candidate, which is also nice I guess, but it wouldn't bring as much as excitement if, IF Pete became president someday.

President Obama has predicted that "Pete Buttigieg will be the face of the Democratic Party of the future.' We need new blood and fresh faces. As an 81 year-old American citizen, I fully agree with that assessment.

Could you people stop voting for a person for president based on Identity, you should be voting for a someone based on their policies

Dany: What SPECIFIC POLICIES of his do you support? Do you even know WHAT he stands for/against? Who is funding his campaign? These things matter MUCH MORE than the fact that he Is very articulate in his responses. I've looked more deeply into his campaign..... He is just a platitude spewing, corporate-funded, centrist democrat...just like Obama was, whom I voted for twice. Nexxxxxxt!

What are his policies that will help anyone?

@@blackout07blue IDK, I think Bernie seems kinda like a grumpy old man like Trump. I am ready to change the channel on that genre of leadership. If he is the democratic nominee I guess I would have to vote for him

What is his message, specifically?

He doesn't have a message.

Anger and ignorance.

Yes, he does have a message. He is more Obama-like, meaning he is trying to pull people back together. He is not touting socialism, but understands we are all connected and should be looking out for one another: Medicare, affordable health insurance, equality on all planes accountability for corporations and banks. If you do not think he has a message, you are not actually listening, just judging.

Because of this: “The matter of What To Do About Bernie and the larger imperative of party unity has, for example, hovered over a series of previously undisclosed Democratic dinners in New York and Washington organized by the longtime party financier Bernard Schwartz. The gatherings have included scores from the moderate or center-left wing of the party, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California; Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader; former Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., himself a presidential candidate; and the president of the Center for American Progress, Neera Tanden.” www.nytimes.com/2019/04/16/us/politics/bernie-sanders-democratic-party.html?fbclid=IwAR3geq3MglvK8mCQiZNQCNSZeEhAGWFAgdsTm8aODW4odinhfhjJLew0ZEQ#click=t.co/NwcDlxth7T

@@emilyroberts3832 hahaha...i know, right?

Based on WHICH policies, specifically? The identity politics game is what has kept our country from making real progressive change. I fell for it with Obama (twice) and he really didn't give the working-class anything. These corp friendly democrats give us vague platitudes, and then do not FIGHT when in positions of power. They cave to republicans at nearly every opportunity. They do so bcuz they are bought off by the oligarchs to be controlled opposition (to real progressive change).

Klara Stern Brains are sexy!

And completely phony. He is taking big bundling money from Goldman Sachs (you know, the same @ssholes who bankrupted our economy in 2008). Pete B was also found attending secret dinners with Pelosi, Schumer, and fat cat donors - to discuss their anti-Bernie strategy.

@@djs7310 no chance of finding fertile ground for your bullshit, Vladimir.

DJ S Please supply links to your sources of information.

What's his message?

To me, his message is that there is more that brings us together as Americans than could ever divide us; that freedom doesn’t just mean freedom from things (like freedom from paying your fair share of taxes, freedom from regulation on businesses that serve the public, freedom from sensible regulation of firearms, freedom from government regulation of church matters, etc.), it means freedom to...ti love who you love and have the government respect your legal bond, freedom to fight for your country no matter your sexual orientation and/or gender identity, freedom to have nothing to do with any religion if that’s what works for you, freedom to expect your government is doing all it can to save our environment, freedom to expect that a person working a full-time job doesn’t have to be part of the “working poor”. He lives everyday his message that religion doesn’t have to be used to cut and hurt people who don’t believe just like you. He makes his message loud and crystal clear that his generation may wind up being the first generation to not have done better than the generation before him. His message includes the fact that it’s never too early or too late to do the right thing for the generation of Americans that we may never see or know ourselves. And maybe the most important message is about how deadly apathy can be. His messages are striking a chord with lots of Americans who prefer to look forward to find solutions to our problems instead of harking back to and constantly yearning for the dead-and-gone bad old days that were never really all that good anyway, unless you were the correct gender, had the socially-acceptable color of skin and you were romantically attracted to the opposite gender. Not much to miss from those days, IMHO. At least those are the messages I get from him when I listen to him and read about him. Your results may differ. 😉

@@ClarenceC101762 Thank you for your well thought out answer. I appreciate it.

What policy of his won you over?

What are some of his policy’s?

He is being propped up by the msm for good reason....bcuz they know that he will play ball and pretend to want progressive change, but will not fight for it the way Bernie or Tulsi would. Pete B takes big $ from Goldman Sachs bundlers.

Brent Lee It’s also the state of Birch Bayh, at least in yesteryear.

Just for argument's sake it is not unusual for a state or city to reject a candidate on home turf. Usually because more people will turn out and vote and of course the cranky people are more likely to turn out. That's just extrapolation and not based on any actual facts, I admit. Mostly thinking about Reagan.

A lot of those people also voted for buttigieg to be mayor. Indiana also voted in Obama, so don't count them out

I don’t see what you’re getting at. You’re basing Mayor Pete’s qualifications on other people’s vote? Weak argument.

@@hartburns30 That wasn't my point, you lack simple understanding. The goal of 2020 is to beat Donald Trump, right? Pete can't do that. Why? Because Pete doesn't poll high enough anywhere other than his own city. Pete couldn't even win Indiana in the Presidential election if it were held right now. Dems must choose a candidate who can win states that Hillary couldn't win. Joe Biden can win those states, Pete cannot.

I wouldn't recommend that tho... it shows that democracy is not acting properly. Rather than casting a vote only against Trump, let us change and start asking for real politicians that represents the country #mayorpete2020 #peteforamerica
