Mayor Pete vs Beto

Christ, you’re tedious.

Battle for anal dominance.

Loved that smackdown. He was goading him on Twitter for a week before the debate, the little Twitter warrior that he is.

Millennial-vs-GenX violence

I'd never seen him get so feisty!

Pete was triggered by everything that's wrong with this picture

Pete was jealous he wasn't invited to that little powwow, R6.

And a pretty good burn here.

Mayor Pete vs Warren

Buttigieg: Warren more specific on selfies than healthcare

Beto should step aside till 2024.

Beto makes some great points. Why should he step aside?

Which studio should I write to in order to get this porn parody made? Who should star?

Beto should step aside because it’s really hurting the people that can win.

The debates are each candidate talking for two seconds, and as a result no one has any time to articulate anything and there’s too much elbow-throwing. Gabbard should go, but she won’t, since she’s a Russian asset and most of her support is probably Russian. They have bottomless pockets. Steyer and several others should go. Today.

Stupid reasoning,R12.

If Pete says “when I served” one more fucking time, I’m going to punch him in the neck.

They should hatefuck and get it over with.

r13, Don't delude yourself. Pete can't win either.

I meant r12 in above post.

Some receptive anal intercourse might be in order

In the end Pete will bottom.

Watch it, R14. If he stops talking about his military service, he'll start invoking Jesus.

Who would play them in a porn parody?

Excellent question. I can’t think of a porn actor tall enough to play Beto.

JJ Knight for Beto.

Austin Young for Buttigieg.

Will Braun for Buttigieg.

LOL.. R24 I was gonna say that.

Austin Young, no way. He looks like he’s 9.

I’m not sure I see Will Braun for Pete either. What is JJ Knight’s accent like? You can’t have Beto sounding like he’s from the Bronx.

Who would play Chasten?

Chase Young to play Mayor Pete.

He's Maltese, has boyish looks, and can definitely ride big cocks.

Chase Young is a possibility, but Mayor Pete is a top. He’d have to fuck the actor playing Chasten, at the very least.

The Maltese Bottom

JJ Knight is Southern (Tennessee?).

It is imperative that the "versus" stuff be dropped.

Trump is going to WIN, if all voting Democrats do not support the nominated Democratic candidate, regardless of who it is!

Agreed, R33. I’ll vote for the Democratic nominee and straight down the ticket, but I know that for my friends who are wavering, the talk about reparations and decriminalizing unauthorized border entries is a huge turn-off. I’m glad that all that has died down for now.

[quote] . He’d have to fuck the actor playing Chasten, at the very least.

There will not be any Chasten troll in this film. A porn film is meant to make you horny not sick!

Anyway, we need a tall lanky guy to play Beto. JJ knight is not lanky nor tall.

Chasten is adorable. Perhaps Ian Levine could play him.

Chasten is a troll and has no place in a Pete/Beto porn film.

Veto is swxy, but God, is he stupid.

Beto is sexy..

Mayor Pete and Beto should oil wrestle in jocks, loser gets fucked.

It's a huge turn-off for your friends who do not know the meaning of the word "decriminalize."

Beto is so dumb that I almost felt sorry for him after the last debate. He's no match for Pete.

Doesn't JJ Knight have a JD?

[quote] Beto is so dumb that I almost felt sorry for him after the last debate.

They don't call him Beta for nothing.

I'm a top and I can only visualize Pete bottoming and Beto as the top.

Buttigieg is obviously a big ol' bottom.

Pete thought he was a top, until he and Beto were alone.

Beto refuses to concede that Pete is so much savvier than he is, but its time for Beto to go.

I think they're flip-flopping.

r34 is SUCH a transparent troll, lol.

I got a Warren robo text today. I texted I'm supporting Pete in the Nevada Caucus.

Another bullshit article, r45. Go back to worshipping your super duper progressive candidate who will get absolutely nothing done once in office (but that would be no different from Bernie's career up to now). God forbid someone be a pragmatist and try to actually get something done even if it's not every little thing you've ever wished for.

Nasty little schnauzer. I could see him as the manoeuvring Chief of Staff to Uncle Joe’s decrepit President.

Oh, dear. The trolls are all here, lol.

Where are the trolls?

Send in the trolls

Don't bother, they're here.

Mayor Pete now on CNN’s “State of the Union” with daddy Jake Tapper. Now there’s some eye candies.

R53 you're trying to spout this holier-than-thou self-righteous crap in a thread that's talking about them FUCKING?

You're a bigger moron than I gave you credit for.

R46, totally agree.

this is really a waste of time. Pete is a nice guy and a good politician but he isnt going to be the nominee or probably the vp cand and the other one is something of a loser. It looks fairly clear to me, Warren will be the nominee which I am really ok with.

I don’t think Pete reads as “nice” at all. He’s a nasty sniping little cunt.

[quote] "Will Mayor Pete come out and defend a fellow veteran against these baseless accusations? Of course not. He is a bootlicking DNC stooge."

Pete Buttigieg admits he isn't comfortable with Hillary Clinton accusing his 2020 rival of being 'groomed' by Russia but doesn't want to 'get in the middle of it'

Courageous principles in action

Fuck Tulsi Gabbard, the Russian agent, R62, and fuck you for wanting Pete to defend her against that meanie, Hillary.

Why should Pete get in the middle of Tulsi’s argument with Hillary? Tulsi’s polling at 1%. Pete’s got better things to do.

AOC slaps down Pete for protecting "big money politics".

Beto goaded Pete first with that crack about “doing what’s right, not what the polls and focus groups say.” Pete lashed back lightning-quick, didn’t miss a beat or bat an eye. I’d love to see him in a debate with Trump, one on one. He’d eviscerate the orange moron.

Jezebel has a bizarre obsession with trashing Buttigieg.

I couldn't care less who AOC endorses.

[quote] for my friends who are wavering, the talk about reparations and decriminalizing unauthorized border entries is a huge turn-off.

Wait till next year. The fools will be falling all over each other demanding decriminalization of border crossings, free health care for all immigrants, etc. and challenging each other to see who can speak the best Spanish, who will do the MOST for the poor immigrants and throwing out that “give us your huddled masses” crap.

R65 I like AOC but she’s backing a crippled horse.

She’s not “basically” a high school drop out, she IS a high school drop out.

She's not a drop out in any way.

I cannot wait until AOC gets exactly what she deserves. Nothing.

Pete’s moved up +7 in the Iowa caucus polls. He’s third now. Beto’s not on the list.

She is literally a high school drop out.

Beto needs two more polls by midnight on November 13th or he won't make the next debate. If he doesn't, it's pretty much over for him because he wanted to run his campaign nationally and like r73 pointed out, he doesn't register in Iowa at all. And his favorability ratings over there are in the toilet as well.

He might follow Castro's example and start quietly campaigning to become Warren's VP.

Warren's not going to be the nominee. She's terrible at perception and messaging. Neither will the two geezers Biden and Bernie.

Akin to another poster on another thread, I was agnostic about Pete in the beginning.

But after studying him and his ascent up the corporate dem ladder (Zuck, Wintour, and other pseudo-dems) along with his increasingly smug and insulting comments, and experience on a very small playing field, he's lost my vote.

Beto - for all his challenges - at least does not appear disingenuous like Pete. He appears to have a heart. Pete is ever more seeming like the player. To play the corporate game. I don't trust him.

Pete has the ambition. Beto has the heart.

The sexual tension is palpable.

[quote]Beto - for all his challenges - at least does not appear disingenuous like Pete.

Well, Beto was born for this.

Beto’s a politically tone-deaf buffoon. I’m voting for Pete. He’s progressive but smart enough to make it sound moderate. We can’t win without the middle of the country.

[quote] He’s progressive but smart enough to make it sound moderate. We can’t win without the middle of the country.

Disagree. Don't find Pete progressive.....at all. If he's so "progressive", how come he wasn't honest about his sexuality?

And why does everyone settle by saying we can't win because of ___(fill in the blank but usually, other red-leaning voters?)

Why do people settle for right-wing democrats?

The USA has become ever more right wing, and it's not just the Republicans.

This whole "get the assault weapons back" theme is basically worthless in my opinion. If they actually figured out a way to get all the known assault weapons back from everyone who currently owns them the only people who would end up still with assault weapons would be the criminals with unregistered assault weapons.

IMO gun control is something that will have to happen over time. Ban assault weapon sales, have a voluntary buyback, confiscate them from criminals when they're found, and implement VERY STRONG background checks for all gun buyers, and most importantly DESTROY THE NRA!

[quote]why does everyone settle by saying we can't win because of ___(fill in the blank but usually, other red-leaning voters?)

All the people at the top of the race have flaws, the biggest one is that they don't appeal to the groups (working class, southern whites, black voters) needed to win in 2020

[quote] All the people at the top of the race have flaws, the biggest one is that they don't appeal to the groups (working class, southern whites, black voters) needed to win in 2020

Understood.

But the question is: why do individuals in the USA always temper their aspirations based on what they PERCEIVE others are going to do? (Considering "the flaws" as not appealing to other voters.)

It's similar to going to all the effort to run for an office and then spend all the time discussing what CANNOT be done.

It's a self - defeating, self - fulfilling, illogical undertaking.

Why do it?

[quote]right-wing democrats

just stop

Actually, Beto is the one who is disingenuous. Pete has never changed his political positions (despite quite a few smears to the contrary). Beto changes like the wind in order to revive his dying campaign. He was against mandatory buybacks until the El Paso shooting. Everything with him reeks of desperation. I don't know if he's poorly advised (probably) or just a shitty candidate, but this campaign is an example of what not to do.

[quote]right-wing democrats

[quote] just stop

What? R85?

It is an unfortunate truth, though in the USA. Corporate Dems [aka Pete et al] are just that.

[quote]Pete has never changed his political positions

Not here to defend Beto.

But were you aware that Pete is a corporate shill? I wasn't. And his Zuck affiliation does him no favors.

Perhaps should have suspected it about Pete, though. Did not he come out of the closet recently? And work for the slimy company: McKinsey, or something?

[quote] And he has weird emotive responses like Zuck.

Oh, R88! You should have started right there. They are both reptillian.

Wasn't that picture taken when Zack was doing his tour across middle America? We all thought he was preparing for a presidential run, and he visited South Bend among other cities. DL was even on it.

I still like Pete

[quote] I still like Pete

On DL, have noticed most posters are pretty perceptive.

That's why, find it interesting to see the Pete backers here.

Perhaps it shouldn't be so surprising, though: identity politics.

Just seems weird to vote for someone based on their sexual proclivities.

[quote]—Just like women voting for Hils because she was female.

You got sloppy there troll. A good troll knows not to push too much in one post. Otherwise, you risk your narrative falling apart.

Svetlana, what would you know about identity politics?

Am not a troll, Oracle.

If you were an accurate "psychic", you'd know this.

Anyone who calls Pete a progressive is a freaking idiot

Pete is progressive.

Kamala is progressive.

Beto is super-progressive

Joe Biden is a progressive centralist

Bernie Sanders is a Russian asset.

Elizabeth Warren is super-progressive.

Sure, he’s gay, an articulate polyglot musician, something I admire. I like a lot of his policies too. So shoot me

If that’s the ONLY thing that stands out about him then you’re super stupid

Not R95, but think you've spent too much time drinking the kool aid in California.

By international stands, you're way off base.

[quote] Anyone who calls Pete a progressive is.,.

...not aware of the USA's shift toward the right. So in most other Democracies, "moderate Dems" are actually on the right. Not "progressive" by any means.

But some individuals in the USA live ensconced in self-identified bubbles of reality. (See:Trump et al.)

[quote] Sure, he’s gay, an articulate polyglot musician, something I admire. I like a lot of his policies too. So shoot me

No. Not into shooting. Although perhaps that's part of your belief system?

Nice that Pete's gay. A musician. A polyglot.

Trump's a businessman. Carter was a peanut farmer. Reagan was an actor.

Does that qualify them for the presidency?

Apparently, you....and many others seem to think so.

Perhaps that's why the governmental system in the US seems so broken.

(And PS: you've lost the plot when you resort to name-calling. Does little to nothing for your narrative.)

Pete is far more mature plus likeable than Mr Born to It. But they are both kidding themselves and stringing along their supporters and contributors to think either is ready for the presidency.

R100 Yes we know, only Boomers and older people nearing 80 are qualified to be pres

[quote] [R100] Yes we know, only Boomers and older people nearing 80 are qualified to be pres

Not R100, but just because Pete "gay/musician/polyglot/Mayor of small city" is not qualified for the U.S. presidency in a pivotal election, doesn't make those that identify this as "Boomers".

Not everyone is caught up in the PR Pete hype.

There WERE/ARE other possibilities besides oldies.

R102 Like who?

Inslee (former)/Castro/Booker/Harris/Warren to name a few, R103

We are still more than a year out. Trump has MANY serious investigations and the general public is slowly becoming increasingly unhappy.

Much can occur before the next election

[quote] Trump's a businessman. Carter was a peanut farmer. Reagan was an actor.

Nope, trump is a failed businessman, more just a conman, carter sold his farm. Reagan realized early in his career than he’d never make it as a leading man. He went into politics. And you point again was? Trump is a con. Carter was scrupulous. Reagan, halfassed. Again, what was your comment about buttigieg?

[quote]Did not he come out of the closet

I mean, really.
