Good. This is the kinda shit Dems should keep doing. It doesn’t matter if it sounds petty, these assholes are a threat to our democracy, they should not be allowed to spew their lies without consequences. If the press refuses to do their job, it falls to whoever is closest to a Republican.
Buttigieg should be front and center a lot. He’s whip smart, a great speaker, and really relatable
Yes. But I don’t think he’s a “dem” like the ones forcing Biden so trump wins. Therefor it’ll be him making his way with little help sadly.
Thank you, I’m so tired of this loyalty to decorum. Call them what they are, authoritarian regressives
Step 1: sell the press to the rich
Step 2: everything is shitty now, but why?
We sold everything else to the rich. Why stop at the press?
I just wish Mr. Buttigieg wasn’t confined to such a low-stakes role in the administration. It’s great that he gets the occasional moments like this, but he’s not exactly being set up for a run at the Presidency in 2028.
Dude’s only 42. He’s got plenty of time. Hell you can’t even get elected these days if you aren’t getting social security.
Pete 2064!
At this rate, I fuckin hope Newton was right. Being on the end of the fucking world already.
Well, I’d like for him to get a shot BEFORE he’s a senior citizen.
I dunno if I’d consider Secratary of Transportation as a low stakes role, he’s been out and about getting IIJA funds out across the country and there to present new rail, highway, air and marine infrastructure improvements.
Plus, if an unspeakable fate were to befall thirteen specific individuals, simultaneously rendering them unable to perform their duties, you’d have a President Buttigieg.
Compared to Defense, State, Homeland Security, Attorney General…
He needs to age into his vibe first.
Is it too late for him to replace Biden?
Yes, it will be Newsom
That is probably the only dirtbag Democrat that could sway my vote from them to the Green party. Fuck Gavin Nuisance with a long rusty shovel.
Are you under the impression that the green party is a reliable place to put your vote? Do you believe that this is not a complete waste of your one singular vote?
I will vote for whatever candidate has the best chance of beating Donald Trump.
Whitmer or whitehouse woukd be better, but the way the DNC plays things, they would obviously choose the weakest candidate for no reason other than to not seem biased against their opposition. It’s fucked. The whole thing is fucked.
I think it’s a bit more nuanced than that. They’ll obviously choose the most neoliberal candidate they think they can get away with, and try to pass him (and it will be “him”) off as “progressive”
So Newsome
Yeah, likely
I accept my anger and cynicism; I forgive myself for letting these people anger me. I try to “turn the other cheek” and simply be a better person than them. But…
…the more i hear these people talk, the more I’d love to see something excruciatingly painful to happen to them.
“I’m wondering if there’s some point- if you’ve identified some point where you will stop, where the administration will stop, where the federal government will stop this requirement and let the market decide…"
Let the market decide? Sure let’s do that. As of now, let’s have the U.S. government stop subsidizing the oil industry to the tune of $20 billion+ per year and see who keeps buying gas powered cars when gas is $15-20 per gallon. Better still, pour that $20 billion into EV car development and green energy and help save the fucking planet.
not EVs. public transport. or at least mostly that and a little EVs
Both, in particular, EV public transport. Something like this would be nice.
Do NOT use battery electric busses when you could use trolleybusses. Or even better, just use trams
That being said, anything is better than diesel busses
central planning model and this dictatorial policy
Fuck you, Scott Perry.
Its the same shit from these people day in and day out. The Reagan Playbook is half-disintegrated in their hands but they can’t stop running it.
Lee Atwater playbook, but yes.
Him or Bernie should have been president
They called him Mayo Pete for valid reasons, perhaps a refresher is in order.
Miracle whip Pete?
