So tired of having to elect either business leaders or lawyers. Fuck, I wish we still had generals to elect. There is no one who gets into office from blue collar or education backgrounds.

Well (obviously) anyone can be elected regardless of expertise or competence or sanity.

He did such a good job covering up East Palestine for the railroads.

Buttigieg is one of the best politicians America has right now.

Him growing a beard is a completely different thing from known bitch Ted Cruz growing one.

And a politician he is, willing to be bought in exchange for political capital.

Stealing from my comment in a different thread:

I’m still upset with Buttigieg for his pre-Super-Tuesday drop out. He joined the establishment to rally against Sanders. In doing so, he became part of what’s wrong with the party.

While I don’t think poorly of him as a person per se, he is also just another politician.

In contrast, I see folks like Sanders and AOC as real agents of change.

I mean, that's a really low bar. I like Pete, and I would certainly vote for him instead of just about anyone in any position of government. But I do think our standards have been lowered to the point where "not a nazi shitbag" is going to put him in the upper echelon.

I thought that in the beginning, but he sold out to the insurance companies pretty quickly. I was pretty bummed about it. Notice he took the transportation gig when he was working for Biden.
