Warren is Warring With Soaring Pete Buttigieg

war of women

Does this look like a woman to you?

Come to think of it, he does kind of look like k.d. lang a little.

I respect the fact that she defends her positions. But the reason she's falling in the polls is encapsulated by OP's photo.

Too in your face. Too humorless. She's like your 3rd grade math teacher.

She lacks social and political subtlety.

She could be POTUS and he could be VPOTUS

R2, he drove a truck in Afghanistan, and signed up for a bogus occupation for the interests of billionaires' petroleum investments.

R6 = Pocahontas vying for reparations.

They are both humorless, self-righteous cunts. Stands to reason they would hate each other.

Having said that, I like their ideas and would vote for either of them.

Bernie is coming for Pete, too.

[QUOTE]” I'm very glad that Mr. Buttigieg is worried that I have been too easy on upper-income people and the millionaires and billionaires, that I'm gonna allow their kids to go to public colleges and universities—just, by the way, as they do go to public schools right now. Trump's kids can go to any public school, elementary school, high school in the country "tuition-free."

[QUOTE]“But the point is, I happen to believe that when you talk about programs like Social Security, like healthcare, like higher education, they should be universal. The way you pay for them, and the way I do it, not the way Buttigieg does it, is I do demand that at a time of massive income and wealth inequality, that the very rich will start paying their fair share of taxes, as will corporate America.”

This means that Pete is doing something right if 2 of the front runners are paying attention to him and feeling threatened. Yay Pete!

Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren greets her supporters with a smile.

R8 = Trump cunt crumb trolling in his diapers.

cherokee cunt can die choking on her food and her dog wouldnt care

R14 = Trump cunt crumb trolling in his now-shit-filled diapers.

[quote] She's like your 3rd grade math teacher.

Do people usually have different teachers in 3rd grade?

Warren has been after Pete for months now. It's almost embarrassing. Her campaign is a joke.

Wow, even gay men are telling women to smile more? What the fuck is wrong with you sexist cunts? You make me ashamed to be a gay guy.

Not all women--just those who aspire to higher office

Pete is just about done. The wheels are coming off his personal bus. What a dumb dumb.

It's interesting that Elizabeth Warren isn't polling in first place in any of the four early primary states (IA, NH, NV, and SC).

Buttigieg and Sanders each lead in one and Biden is polling in first place in NV and SC.

R21 Buttigieg leads in both NH and Iowa according to RCP average.

r1, You dumb homophobic nutjob. Take your self hate back to drudge report.

she just wants to fuck him, and who can blame her.

If Nancy Pelosi can still smile after everything she’s done to her face, then how hard could it fucking be?

There IS a difference between a rictus grin and a smile

Pete seems like a swell guy but he gives off a bad vibe because he's always "on". That being said I'd like to fuck his Rhodes brains out.

[quote]Pete seems like a swell guy but he gives off a bad vibe because he's always "on".

Are you an idiot? EVERY politician is “on” when campaigning! That’s how it works dummy!

[quote]Bernie is coming for Pete, too.

Socialist loser Bern should just focus on trying not to stroke out before the next debate.

Did Bernie's fight (and loss to) the speedbag cause his heart attack?

...

Be it Warren, Biden or Bernie who becomes the nominee, lil Pete has no place in the 2020 election. Everyone knows this. The Biden/Harris ticket is looking cynical and sweet. And more importantly, like a winning one. I'm voting for Warren in the primary. I hope to vote for her in the general too.

Warren is never going to recover from her healthcare debacle. She isn't going to peel off any moderate voters from Biden or Pete or Amy. She's not going to get any Berniebros. She's not getting older black voters from Biden. She's not getting the younger black voters from Bernie. All that's left is college educated white urban liberals, which is why her failing campaign is pulling all of this anti Pete bullshit. because Pete's numbers in that area are on a steady rise. Poor, poor Lizzie.

[quote]Buttigieg leads in both NH and Iowa

Yeah but there are no black people in NH and IA. He’s polling at 0% in SC. Black people don’t tust him bc he’s CLUELESS about black people. He’s obviously never spent any time with or known any black people, ever. He has no clue how they think or how to reach them (and yeah I know black people are not a monolith but there are commonalities among them. Like a middle-class white gay man saying his history of discrimination can be compared to theirs is a BIG FAT NO,)

Hillary showed that you can’t win without inspiring black people to turn out. Pete will not do that. Black people will stay home in 2020 and we will lose (again) if Pete is the nominee.

Warren probably can't win. But she's running a just and progressive campaign that would be considered centrist in most any other developed nation. Lil Pete is a media fag, I mean fad. He's a deceptive, sketchy, conservative, warmongering racist in the pocket of big business. Lots of better men can do what he does better. Warren can be proud of herself, as can her supporters. She's trying to right the ship. It will be too late to ever try again after this. All or nothing with Bernie and Warren. They deserve all credit, respect and best wishes. Iowa ain't nothing no more. Get over yourself. Is there a more retrograde candidate than Pete Buttigig? Doesn't matter how he polls or when exactly he drips out, because he's no ones second choice and he's not going anywhere in this election. I doubt he will ever even be a senator. Warren or Bernie can still pull off a big upset. If not, it's still Biden. He doesn't want anyone sociopathic and DULL as Pete in the picture. Buttgig is so concerned with not seeming G A Y that he doesn't seem like anything. Black people HATE him and he'll never get anywhere without us.

Pete is performative masculinity personified.

All that matters is the republicans are trying to turn the presidency into a dictatorship. I don’t care who gets the nomination. Trump needs to go

[quote]Mayor Pete has wide ideological appeal, across the Democratic electorate

r32 I can't imagine a Biden/Harris ticket working whatsoever. The only thing Harris is known for is the whole "that little girl was me" fight she had with him at the first debate. She def needs a TV show though and he needs to drop out.

R2:Definitely

They're all shocked that Pete has come this far.

Know your enemy. So much more than the rest, Elizabeth Warren stays on message. She doesn't need to attack Pete or the more honorable and formidable Cory Booker to win perception points. She has a message and a plan. Her intelligence and ideals. And a foe. Trump is her foe. We don't need more tinhat dictators and tiny zealots. Air the place out.

r27 He's got BCE. Big Churchkid Energy (what Steven Colbert calls Big R.A. Energy). That earnestness really annoys some people but I think it's genuine. So there's an element of religious bigotry from the Left against that Churchkid subculture as well.

All Pete needs is the black young vote or black twitter once he will get once hollywood cosigns him which they will cause he's the only candidate with the balls, strategy, and plan to effectively beat Trump. Older blacks will eventually fall in line like they did with obama. They supported hill at first.

Blacks won't fall in line to please a racist nutjobs like you R44. Shut the fuck up. Your delusions are grotesque.

r45, You know nothing about me you hysterical mary. You are probably shrill Hill supporter who cried on election day. We need a visionary. Pete is it.

[quote] He’s obviously never spent any time with or known any black people, ever.

Ricky Schroder has; do you wanna vote for him?

Has Oprah given her endorsement? I remember her saying she thought Pete was interesting during the beginning of the primaries and was keeping her eye on him.

[quote]We need a visionary. Pete is it.

That's exactly what Pete Buttigieg isn't. A visionary? Dude can't even locate his own dick. He wouldn't want anything to do with his fanatical follower(s) on Datalounge. You do realize that don't you R46? Pete doesn't need sad old gay men who are so desperate for late in life validation. He's the anti-gay candidate in many ways. And young black men my age never heard the word Mary except on reruns of 227. You're sad and annoying Pete freak. Y'all have many other obsessions to keep you going. Day and night. You're on DL. People with your disorders can't discern the difference between what is important in this world from what is important, only to you. So you go on about many things with the same zealotry. I don't worry about you what happens to you when Pete fails. Early 2020. He's a conservative white gay male, republican. That should bother you, but it don't. Good luck Mary. You're a grown ass fool.

No Pocahontas affirmative action hiring in the primaries. Cheating is very Trump-like.

[quote]Pete doesn't need sad old gay men who are so desperate for late in life validation.

The rest of the US population doesn't need ghetto blacks who are so desperate for more free handouts for validation.

See how that works?

I feel the real reason they aren't behind Pete is because he is gay. Sure the black community would like a person of color to be the nominee but it appears that isn't going to happen so they will end up voting for a white candidate. It might end up they don't really show up in the numbers needed in 2020. Also I have seen more support for Trump from minorities than past republican candidates which could be very interesting. If Bernie or Warren were to be the nominee Trump wins again.

Liz promises free stuff like Bernie. The entitlement brigades that didn't earn it, squeal the loudest.

If the choices are any gay man and Donald Trump and you don’t vote, then you deserve Donald Trump.

[quote] Pete doesn't need sad old gay men who are so desperate for late in life validation. He's the anti-gay candidate in many ways. And young black men my age never heard the word Mary except on reruns of 227.

Cunt, you type older than the motherfucking hills. And if you have such contempt for old gay men, why the fuck are you here on a Saturday night?

Young gay black man, my ass.

Pete leads among the highly educated. Of course.

He doesn't lead among the people that can't name the three branches of the federal government.

The choice won't be a gay man. Booker ain't gay, though hopefully Warren won't shy away from him the way that Hillary was convinced to as a running mate. Warren/Booker or Biden/Harris are the ticket. No one said they wouldn't vote for the democratic nominee R54. Only that racist nutjob Pete zealot old fag parses language in such Trumpian traps. You don't seem to understand that Pete will never be the presidential candidate. He's a sociopath. R54. Do you know what that is? I know what you is.

There is nothing progressive about constantly choosing heterosexuals to rule over us.

R56. Racist dumbass.

[QUOTE] Warren on Saturday steered away from directly responding to a question about whether she would release her tax returns from before 2008 if her fellow Democratic presidential candidate South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg made his fundraisers open to the press.

[QUOTE] The senator didn't say yes or no, but she made the argument she was focusing on the present. To her point, she has already released 10 years worth of her tax returns, which is more than President Trump or former President Barack Obama ever released. But Warren has also recently called for Buttigieg to release the names of his clients when he worked for the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. He began that job in 2007. Buttigieg's camp responded to Warren already, and called for her to release the returns in a show of transparency.

She sounds like somebody who’s keeping two sets of books.

Another instance if Warren deflecting and refusing to answer a direct and simple question. This is her m.o. and people have caught on to it. She is the opposite of straightforward.

What in the hell do the Warren fans see in her? She is shady.

Criticism and attacks are part of the job of being President. If he can't take it from a cranky old lady and a closeted black man, then he may as well give up. So, far, Pete is handling it well and showing the world that he is even tempered and a man of strength and character with nothing to hide. So these attacks on Pete may very well be biting someone like Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren on the butt and making THEM look bad.

Pete has no chance at the nomination; black people just don't like him.

Some gay white men are even more racist than straight white men. At least most straight white men are into POC women. However, those gay white men never date POCs and have zero POC friends.

Girls, girls!

R55 That troll is AIKC's new persona who also slips up and misspells things in the British way.

Pete is 100% White Bread BORING and talks like a smug precocious white high school kid running fir Student Council president. Working class whites and black people do NOT relate to the guy. He has zero chance of winning in 2020.

[quote]Pete has no chance at the nomination; black people just don't like him.

Black people don’t vote half the time anyway, hence Trump getting elected. So nobody cares if blacks don’t like him.

R69 people from bumfuck Iowa and New Hampshire like him- connecting with working class whites is not quite on his list of problems.

R70 = The Grand Wizard of DL

R70 Black people WILL turn out for a candidate who inspires and motivates them- like Obama. They’ll turn out for Biden to get Trump out. They’ll say fuck it and stay home if Pete is the nominee (which has no chance of happening because he polls at 0% with black voters,)

Warren, Biden, and Sander's are all on their way out.

#2Old2Crazy. They're losing it, mentally and politically, and looking for someone to blame.

Will Black People turn out in droves for Warren - who looks like she would call the police on them having a BBQ in a public park?

Polka's on the Warpath!

Women aren't going to support Joe Biden.

Why didn't the black powers that be have a powwow and tell Booker to take a walk, Kamala to hire real pros, and solicit a couple of other reasonable candidates? As a white gay ivy educated man I don't mind Booker at all, even his sort of faith-based community commitment. But clearly blacks are not down (low) with Booker.

According to the research and articles, it appears as though traditional democrats (blacks people included) believe that the only way to beat Trump is with a traditional white, male candidate.

The problem isn't the popular vote. There are way more democrats than there are republicans. And quite frankly the democratic candidate in 2020 will probably win the popular vote by 5 million votes, according to some recent predictions. The issue is the electoral college and a few key states.

This is why some of us wanted this primary season to be a short one so that the eventual nominee could start building campaign infrastructure early in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin and in a few other swing states. All the resources that are now being spent on primary candidates could be being used on one nominee and a bunch of House and Senate races.

[quote] According to the research and articles, it appears as though traditional democrats (blacks people included) believe that the only way to beat Trump is with a traditional white, male candidate.

"Traditional" is a dog whistle for heterosexual. If that's your attitude, then why even have an election at all?

Warren is getting desperate.

"Women aren't going to support Joe Biden."

You sure?

I meant ones with self-respect.

r52 yeah no..the numbers tell a different story. Majority of minorities will still vote for the Democratic nominee but don't pick someone people have to hold their nose for....Pete is one of those people sorry stans, it's the truth

[quote]don't pick someone people have to hold their nose for....Pete is one of those people

He who smelt it dealt it, R84.

You Pete trolls don't even want to know the truth. Pathetic

Warren Weenies like you are the ones further in denial than Cleopatra, R86.

r70, You better care if blacks like him. Or he better care at least. Because even if he is the nominee (a remote chance at best), he has NO CHANCE to win the White House without the Democratic core voters; black people, especially black women.

And don't say they won't have any choice but to vote for him, because there is ALWAYS another choice; not voting at all.

And by the way r70, you're a bigot.

R34.. you do know that buttigieg shared a dorm with a black man right?..

Bernie and Warren are both desperate. They’ve got nothing on Pete.

Letting the black community have a big influence on the next candidate is similar to the small cluster of rust belt states in the electoral college trump the popular vote in the election. You don't want either being the key decision makers.

You moron at r91, black people (and especially black women) are the MOST loyal of Democratic voters; long after the white people largely abandoned the party for the racist Republicans, the AA 's have stuck with the party over the years through thick and thin, and frankly, I think they deserve some special consideration for their unwavering loyalty.

[quote] [R34].. you do know that buttigieg shared a dorm with a black man right?..

Oh my god, why is Pete not chairman of the NAACP?!?

If you need to descend to name calling it just proves your argument is specious

r92 Last I checked, a black man was the last democrat to lead this country for 8 years. And blacks represent only 12% of the entire population.

And R78, Booker is going to try and guilt white people into voting for him. Ever since Kamala dropped out, he's taken the opportunity to get on CNN and MSNBC bemoaning the fact that the race is turning into a competition between all white men. That's Cory. There's no opportunity he won't take advantage of . When there was a mass shooting, he was all over the place talking about gun violence. When he attacked Joe Biden with his well rehearsed Koolaid joke, he was all over the place gloating. When Pete was having problems with the black community in South Bend, Cory reminded everyone that he no one knows the ghetto like he does because he's from Camden. When PAC came out with an ad in his favor, he was all over the place pretending that he never saw the ad before. He's nothing more than an opportunist. There is nothing genuine about him. He should change his name to Cory BookMe.

[quote] Majority of minorities will still vote for the Democratic nominee but don't pick someone people have to hold their nose for....

If it’s a “hold your nose and vote for” candidate (or a boring uninspiring one like Pete) black people and minorities will stay home in 2020 just like they did in 2016 with Hillary.

Black people did NOT stay home for Hillary in 2016. Check your facts racist pig. White men and women put Trump in the White House. Those are the FACTS.

Pete is neither boring nor uninspiring. The unhinged attacks from his haters only make me like him more.

I like them both but glad to see Warren's decline. As Steve Schmidt said, Americans will go for the sociopath vs. the socialist every time. At least Liz and Pete both seem to enjoy campaigning.

R99 Anyone who criticizes Pete is UNHINGED? Right.

The only one who seems “unhinged” is you. Pete is bland, boring, uninspiring, and clueless about POC. Those are just facts.

R101 apparently doesn't know the difference between his personal opinions that he picked up on Twitter and facts.

You're the one lumping every race other than white people into an amorphous group known as "POC," which sounds like "colored people," which is an Archie Bunkerism and therefore racist.

R102 I am hardly alone in my “personal opinions.” They are shared by many as the polls in SC continue to show, unfortunately for your crush Pete.

Liz's health plan will knock her out of the race. It's not gonna work.

I’m afraid you’re right, R105. And who does that leave us with? A couple of almost 80-year-olds and Pete? It’s not looking good.

Maybe Deval Patrick will turn out to be viable? I don’t know anything about him other than he’s black and Obama pushed him to get into the race late.

r98, Right, I keep telling white gay elitists thats. Furthermore, whites IN STATES THAT HAVE VOTED DEMOCRATIC FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS. They thought all those women would be turned off Trump. Not only did they vote for him, they bought their apolitical baby fathers to the booths with them.

[QUOTE] Liz's health plan will knock her out of the race. It's not gonna work.

[QUOTE] And who does that leave us with? A couple of almost 80-year-olds and Pete? It’s not looking good.

Why would Liz’s plan knock her out of the race, but not Bernie? He has the same plan, except he’s vowed to raise middle class taxes to help pay for it. If Liz goes, then Bernie is going with her.

Pete has had his fun. Now it's time for a reality check and go back to being mayor.

Pete has as much black support as Booker and Booker is black. I find Pete very inspiring. He'll be the third black president.

Lil Pete and Mrs Chasten Butt having some Sunday prayer time.

I don't think it's her plan itself that's knocked her out so much as opposed to how she's handled the whole issue, exposing a deflective and duplicitous approach. Bernie has been upfront and candid from jump about his (similar) plan and people like his honesty. It appears that people are more turned off by her style and personality than her plan. I'm not a Bernie bro either btw, just calling it as I see it.

LICK MY NECK

LICK MY BACK

LICK MY PUSSY AND MY CRACK

[quote] Furthermore, whites IN STATES THAT HAVE VOTED DEMOCRATIC FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS.

If Pete gets the nomination and Trump still wins California...

Get real, only one of those things is going to happen.

r14 is a bigot.

Shun him gals!

R110 how does 0 percent black support become the third black president. More like corn field president meaning Lilly white.

r117, 110 is a delusional Pete fanboi.

"Boy" is a white racist word. And it's spelled with a "Y."

White people need to let go of Mayo Pete. We can't even trust him to hire LGBTQ+ individuals for his cabinet, why throw our weight behind him? Another corporate shill who too comfortable turned his back on his community until his early 30s. Pete wasn't in the community prior to that and he wasn't helping anybody but himself with his McKinsey paychecks. His time in the military at best a tick on his "JFK cosplay" checklist and at worst an unnecessary stint in the military industrial complex.

Anybody still pushing Pete is 1) not actually a Democrat 2) blinded by identity politics.

Some people come out when they're ready to come out, this shouldn't be an issue. Everybody's life and circumstances are different from the lives of others, you have no idea what they're going through. Of course, the flaming shopbottoms who were Richard Simmons-level gay from the moment that they were pushed out of their mother's cunts will never understand this.

R121: my point is that in CURRENT society it would make more sense for the first gay president to have the confidence of a person who has been proudly out their entire life. Not a revolutionary concept and I am not blaming Pete- he was unfortunately born too early in time and does not exhibit the confidence and security in his sexuality necessary to withstand the homophobia he will face in the general.

The last line of your post is laughable as well. I am sure you are so very masculine and nobody ever suspect you were gay! What an irrelevant point- it doesn't matter whether Pete is flamboyant or not. There are people who could find a man getting spit-roasted and would still take him at face value if he said he was straight.

He's already experience plenty of homophobia and has handled it just fine. So everybody should come screaming out of the closet when they're teenagers? Sorry, that's not how the real world works. People come out when they're ready.

Warren is actually turning into a nightmare right now. Total identity crisis of her campaign on full display. She gave Pete grief for McKinsey - that ended up being nothing. She gave him grief for holding closed fundraisers that she also held just last year - he opened those to the press. Now she's just said in a speech in New Hampshire that he's got his big donors on speed dial, to essentially do their bidding. He has also released his bundlers list, which the Biden's, Booker's, and Klobuchar's campaigns have refused to do. Warren seems to have no problem with them for some reason.

Now take a look at the outrageous attendance fees for one of her 2012 fundraisers, held by the same guy who held a fundraiser for Pete yesterday. Those were closed to the press as well, by the way.

Warren's a liar. She lied about being Native and she'll lie about anything else.

Still chuckling over a Warren supporter in another Pete thread describing her as "quite pure". I mean, it's clear that no one would be able to get away with calling her just 'pure'.

She wanted to rebrand herself as the purest of them all. Sucks for her that her past practices (up to and including 2018) are getting in the way of that. 😄

R123: absolutely not, but cute deflection. Pete didn't come out until his 30's, this would be a separate conversation had he come out in his teens. Perhaps I misspoke earlier, instead of out their "entire life" perhaps "most" of their life would be sufficient? That would mean Pete can run in.... 30 more years!

R124: I am losing interest in Warren as well, but to say nothing came out of her efforts is wrong. We've already discovered information from Pete's time at McKinsey that seriously jeopardizes his chances in Michigan, which is a crucial state.

[quote]We've already discovered information from Pete's time at McKinsey that seriously jeopardizes his chances in Michigan, which is a crucial state.

You mean the tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory that his three months of working on PP presentations on a project at Blue Cross to cut costs for travel and facilities in 2007 led to layoffs in 2009, a year after the worst recession in living memory started?

The same conspiracy theory that the Blue Cross manager who's been working there for 20 years refuted in a press release the other day? This is some Trumpian-level shit that we on the left shouldn't be falling for. And yet here we are. 🙄

[quote] Still chuckling over a Warren supporter in another Pete thread describing her as "quite pure". I mean, it's clear that no one would be able to get away with calling her just 'pure'.

Unless the word "pure" was followed by the word "bullshit."

[bold]Warren’s desperation is showing[/bold]

[quote]Next she swiped at Buttigieg, whom she goaded into pressuring his former employer McKinsey & Co. to allow him to reveal a client list (which turned out to be so squeaky clean as to include the U.S. Postal Service and the Natural Resources Defense Council).

Takes an outsider like Rubin to clock her so thoroughly.

^^ That's from WaPo piece, but I posted the Outline version for those without a subscription.

R129: Trumpian shit? There is a clear line from point A to B, whether Pete was instrumental to the layoffs or not does not change the fact he was involved. The manager may have cleared his name earnestly, but it is naive to think Pete's team isn't capable of offering some sort of quid pro quo for that clearance.

Point is, there's information that puts him in a precarious position in a crucial state. Whether it's true doesn't change how it will affect voters. He does 0% with black people. What else do you need? How can you think he'd win the general?

Your entire first paragraph is Trumpian in that it has absolutely nothing to do with objective facts. Trading in debunked conspiracy theories that even the hardcore socialist Twitter has abandoned by now… pure, unadulterated desperation on your part.

[quote]He does 0% with black people.

Ahhh... there we go. When all else fails, the mask slips and the four-month-old talking point that now has no basis in recent polls comes out. You might want to check out MSNBC - even they have decided to abandon that statistic.

The "0% support with black people" phrase is rapidly becoming the new "but her emails!"

It is not a conspiracy theory to state that Pete consulted for a company that later went on to enact massive layoffs. That is fact. At issue is Pete's level of involvement. Answer is: it doesn't matter to the voters in Michigan, I can guarantee you that.

A marginal improvement in his numbers with black people as the list of candidates slims down is expected. It does not change the fact that black people do not support him (and with good reason.) Maybe examine why you are so quick to dismiss Pete's racism when there are other viable candidates.

Pete also leads with non-whites in Iowa. But nevermind, only black people in South Carolina matter, dontcha know?

How's she doing with Native American voters?

R139: I'm not here promoting Warren either (as I am a rational individual, not a fanatic.) Four percent of the black population in Wisconsin is nothing to celebrate, especially for a primary. Are you well?

Also, I love how hypocritical you all can be. If Warren is low in the numbers y'all can stick it to her, but if Pete is low in the numbers it's all about POC being homophobic. Well, the same can be said about Warren as a woman, can't it? Why aren't you?

I'm sick of these elections becoming a glorified pop-star stan wars. You all look ridiculous bending over backwards for candidates with no understanding of nuance. Pete and Warren both get valid criticism based on their policies and background.

[quote]@PeteButtigieg on Warren campaign criticism regarding private donors: "The thing about these purity tests is the people issuing them can't even meet them. If doing traditional fundraisers disqualifies you from running for president, then I guess neither one of us would be here."

Burned like a bitch. And [italic]still[/italic] she won't back down, mark me.

[quote] How's she doing with Native American voters?

After she lied about her ancestry, I imagine they'd sooner vote for Lesley Ann Warren.

Lesly Ann Warren would be the most giggly President in history!

R139 but the resident racist of DL told us that blacks were basically a hopeless subgroup of Americans that would never warm to Pete. Should we rejoice that his numbers have improved or ignor those facts. I’m confused about what a lot of hateful white posters want.

Also, thank you for posting these poll numbers. Always nice to hear about the rest of the country. I’m about sick of normally irrelevant Iowa.

After she lied about her ancestry, I imagine they'd sooner vote for Lesley Ann Warren.

That sounds cruel

Pete Buttigieg is raising money from Silicon Valley’s billionaires — even as Elizabeth Warren attacks him for it

A host list circulated to prospective donors for an event on Monday morning in Palo Alto, California, features individuals with family ties to some of the most prominent people in Big Tech. Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings is listed as a co-host of the event, as is Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin; Wendy Schmidt, the wife of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt; and Michelle Sandberg, the sister of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, sources say.

Unbelievable they're trying to turn this guy into an elitist. He's the mayor of a Bumfucke town in Flyoverville and probably has never made more than $80,000 a year in his life, and he's almost 40. He's barely middle class.

I read today that in 2011, Warren had fundraisers including one with Barbara Streisand, that were $1,000-$5,000 a “donation.”

“Massachusetts senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren is Democratic Hollywood's new "It girl," a status that will be ratified Tuesday, Nov. 1 when the party's local elder statesman, Norman Lear, and his wife Lynn host a fundraiser for the Harvard Law professor and consumer advocate, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

“The event's cohosts include a cross section of the Democrats' industry reliables, including Barbra Streisand, Steve Bing, Rhea Perlman, Danny DeVito, Marge Tabankin, Hans Zimmer and Lorraine and Sid Sheinberg. Donations are scaled from $1,000 to $5,000 with organizers anticipating a large crowd gathering for the fundraiser the Lear estate.[...]

“Hollywood's support is often a mixed blessing, however. [Opponent Scott] Brown has sharply criticized Warren, who according to the Washington Post has raised about 70 percent of her money outside of Massachusetts, as the candidate of elite and celebrity interests.“

Warren had Damon and Affleck too, I wonder what $10,000 would get you from those two.

Ben brought the coke.

I'm glad Pete slapped her down like he did to Tulsi.

Warrens desperate. While I like her ideas I think shes trying too hard. I like Pete's calm.

Say that ten times fast, I dares ya!

R157, "elitist" is code for "more intelligent than me".

(Or, for the Marys, "than I." That locution always sounds like Diane Chambers to me.)

Yikes, the news outlets are now picking up on her past sins. 😬

How could she think nobody would bring that up?

The impression I get is someone who doesn’t think of the consequences of her actions. If you’re going to be an attack dog, you are inviting retaliation upon yourself, and investigation by the press.

Bernie and AOC join in

'We don't go to rich people's wine caves!' Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slap Mayor Pete for high-dollar fundraisers at Venice Beach rally

Does this mean they do go to Warren’s wine caves, it’s just Pete's wine cave they don’t approve of?

Not fancy enough?

This wine cave meme is the stupidest shit yet. It's amazing the bullshit distractions from real issues that American politicians can some up with.

Maybe we can ask the journalists who attended that event?

I'm sure it wasn't "closed-door" or anything.

boring warren

snoring Buttigieg

'Warrens desperate... I like Pete's calm."

They both have an irritating artificiality. Liz and her whisper-awe delivery; Pete and his Robotic Politician talking points.

Pete needs to roll up his sleeves and get sweaty, yell. Study Obama videos about 'Hope' 'Change' and 'Vision'. No, it never came true... but it makes good optics.

There are now five active threads on DL bashing Pete Buttigieg. Judge him by his enemies.

You said six in another thread.

Are you trustworthy?

R170, it's incredible how stupid people are. Do these people know how fundraising works? I'm sure Warren, with her 12 million dollar net worth, has always taken money strictly from "the little people". And let's pretend that she worked with large companies for years and made millions off of that.

Warren retreats.

Pete wins.

Go Pete!
