    What?

    If this is the worst Pete can imagine, then he should be nowhere near Dem leadership because there are going to be much larger fuckups than this.

    We need people who will do more than just react, especially when their reactions are just repeating public opinion.

    And if you aren’t predicting what they’ll do next, all you’re doing is reacting.

      I’d prefer to not think about how you could get worst than this. Thanks.

        Seriously?

        This was an accident, you can’t imagine they wouldn’t trade this kind of info for personal profit?

        Like, they’ve done worse than this even in this situation. The attack was worse than how they planned it or that a journalist was added.

        I swear people focus on the dumbest shit to be upset about

        It’s exactly what fascists always try for, but they need a population willfully ignorant of history for it to work.

        Which is why Republicans and neoliberals united for “no child left behind” decades ago, and today’s younger generations suffer from “brain rot” that shit was intentional.

          Knowing that this administration is incompetent is enough for me. I’d prefer to not to spend the rest of these four years or god knows how long thinking about the consequences of their incompetence. Let me have some resemblance of peace.

            So…

            You posted this to a political but don’t want anyone to talk about politics…

            And your plan to do that is to keep replying to people, telling them that you don’t want to talk, instead of just not replying? Or better yet just not posting in the first place?

            Because I genuinely have no idea what you’re doing

        Hate to break it to you but after these ‘lapses’ lead to a new 9/11 your government is going to blame it on Canada and invade. Your people will be on board and write country songs and have freedom gravy fries and nobody is going to stop them.

        Millions are going to die because you think, as a culture, again, that you will steamroll. And after the cities are razed and as you guys are mining and pumping the ruins, a million Canadians will cross, with nothing left but hate, thousands of kilometres of open forest border into a world of lootable weapons, identical appearances, and immigrated guerrilla terror.

      The highest fuckup imaginable was reelecting an insurrectionist and hoarder of classified documents, but people hate hearing the truth sometimes.

        What about the guy who talked that president into running because he thought it was the only way his historically unpopular wife could win a decade ago?

        Are you inferring that Buttigieg is a Democratic leader?

        In what way? Did he win a Federal election? My understanding was he received a position as trans. Sec for the splitting/ ratfucking he did to to the progressives in 2020.

        He’s not a leader in the sense that he has been elected to any form of leadership position.

        In a democracy, this is how we define what a leader is. We elect them. Appointments to the children’s table of cabinet positions don’t count. Hillary, for all her faults, at least she did win a Federal election. And her cabinet appointment was material, not a handout for a job done. Even the ag secretary is a much bigger deal than the trans secretary.

        Other being constantly elevated as if his voice matters by corporate media, Buttigieg is a basically irrelevant failed candidate whose primary qualification is being a one-time mayor of a college town.

                Op’s point was a challenge to the notion that Buttigieg is a leader of the Democratic party. They are getting briggaded for it.

                Your response is a typical, two faced, backhanded way of dismissing the challenge. The kind of non-addiitve, toxic, snide, perspectives we always see from corporate democrats and their apologists. And its a legitimate question because obviously some media at least presents Buttigieg as a Democratic leader. And its a totally fair point to contend that Buttigieg is a leader for the Democratic party, if thats what you believe.

                And since you are white knighting on their behalf, its totally fair to bring the question to you:

                Do you see Buttigieg as a Democratic leader?

                  Asking who they want to see as democrat leaders is a typical, two faced, backhanded way of dismissing the challenge, the kind of non-additive, toxic, snide, perspectives we always see from corporate democrats and their apologists?

                  Here I though it was a valid question giving them a chance to say who they thought would be positive for the party.

      Hi, just wanted to check in here. Are you familiar with the concept called “hyperbole” and a “figure of speech”? Figurative language is a thing that people use sometimes, and some people say that perhaps he is using that here. Many people are saying that you can say things like this and still imagine worse

      Perhaps if you have other issues with him, those should be expressed rather than just taking a statement like this super literally
