Peter Buttigieg 2020!

he's gotta be better than the troglodyte we have now.

Well, apparently plenty of American conservatives figure it should disqualify him. Those are doubtlessly the same conservatives who praise bombing Palestinian children.

No doubt! He can speak eight languages, whereas Trump can barely speak one.

i had no idea he was that much of a genius to be able to effortlessly learn that many!

Pretty impressive!

if he ends up high in the candidate hierarchy, he better watch out.

No doubt she could beat Trump. Unfortunately, the political establishment will not get behind an anti-war candidate -- that's a given.

His war mongering and sadistic praise of Israel murdering civilians should disqualify him.

Just having a candidate that annoys conservatives isn't a plausible option. It's what the Democrats do though, put the focus on the person's identity because it gives a shield for their horrific policies or lack of policies.

Nix everyone with Pro-Israeli, Anti-Palestinian views, and you've got hardly anyone running for any office.

This is what I found out about him ...

Buttigieg (pronounced Buddha-judge)

He claims to be pro-free markets, pro-capitalism, pro-globalization.

He self-identifies as a "democratic capitalist" (making fun of Bernie Sanders ?)

He's against "free stuff", like free college.

He supports a "public Medicare option", but doesn't go so far as Sanders/Warren of wanting to get rid of private health insurance.

He appears to especially want to raise taxes on rich, and maybe middle class people.

Many of his positions are unknown.

So, he appears to be the most right wing Democrat candidate, and to the right of Socialist Trump.

i dont think kamala beto or buttigieg can change about this country that much.. maybe one or two or three things.. coz they are obama.. they will likely have a macron moment in the beginning.. see how it goes.. anyways .. we do get duolingo with dua lipa experiences .. when europe was once great everyone was learning latin and greek ..

Yeah it would get rid of all the people who support killing children. You say it like that's a bad thing?

Sounds like an American Emmanuel Macron, especially in that he's using the "young" card to dupe the gullible into thinking he's an outsider and has some substance. His credentials are as elite as they come, and his feelings towards ordinary working and middle class Americans don't seem to fall one rung on the ladder above contempt. Don't be duped by this fraud the way the French were by M. Macron.

Exactly. But I think Americans haven't got to that stage of realization yet.

as though the present POTUS doesn't also view 99% of us with contempt?

So just get another less transparent one? Why not aim for something better?
