2028 frontrunner Pete Buttigieg’s answer to a question on how Democrats should handle Israel has been described as “a beautiful example of sounding like you care about genocide while actually saying nothing at all.”
Oh gosh, the 2028 frontrunner. The race hasn’t started, we don’t know who’s running, and their already trying to name a winner. Fucking Democratic media complex.
Your choices are Buttigieg, Newsom, Shapiro, and maybe Kamala if she’s done with her “me” time. Choose wisely.
So… we’re cooked?
Exactly! People are delirious if they really believe for even one second that Darth Trump, the world’s most successful Super-Criminal, who is basically the Antichrist, is ever going to allow real elections again… The old USA is over. This is Nazi-land now. No one is going to fix this.
Not voting for either of those options. Regardless
Don’t like it? Earn voters with policy.
Of these terrible choices newsom.
What happened to AOC “running”?
I love AOC, but I don’t think she has the sauce for a presidential run, at least not yet. Anyways, if we are ever going to start putting this era to bed, we need a bloodthirsty take-no-prisoners lefty liberal. That’s not who she is.
Pritzker might fit the bill. Not that I personally like him better, but I think he might have the right instincts for this moment, even if I prefer AOC’s vision better.
You legit are telling me you don’t think she pushes the bounds on both sides and fights for the rights of us (former middle class - it doesn’t exist anymore) now?! She’s one of the only politicians doing that with Bernie (of course), fighting against a dictator, influencers, and other corrupt politicians… she understands more than anyone else as she legit came up from the bottom! She’s what we NEED and what is necessary to change this garbage “government”.
You legit are telling me…
Um, no? None of that is what I said. I sincerely hope to see her as president some day, I just don’t think she is equipped to move us into post-MAGA America. If anything, she is too good of a person for this moment. I want a straight up leftist psychopath that will do what should have been done after the civil war and punish the fuck out of the traitors so we aren’t dealing with the aftermath of this bullshit for a hundred+ years.
watch them somehow lose again
It’s what they’re good at.
Not that I’m a fan of the other three really but she would get cooked in that primary. I mean she’d be lucky to finish 4th.
The media won’t settle on their candidates until after the 2026 mid-terms.
But as of right now… Yeah, not the front runner:
What they are doing now is test balloons. They just start hyping particular establishment candidates to see which ones and what framing works best.
Bernie has declined to rule out a run, and he is by far the most popular. Yet I don’t think they even include him in the surveys. (Not that I’m saying he will/should run. Despite still being as sharp as ever, he is getting pretty old.)
Actually, per your link, in polls where Kamala Harris wasn’t an option, Buttigieg is the frontrunner with Newsom close behind. When Harris is included he is number 2.
Harris hasn’t said she’s not running, other than not running for governor. I think it’s safe to say she’ll try and fail a 3rd time.
As someone who is left of center, I will actively campaign against buttiegieg if he is the nominee. He’s worse than a bowl of shit
I think he has a lot of potential to win the primary because he is a classic NPR lib type. Even has the cadence. He is a very good speaker - a shame he has horribly lib politics.
Neolib, thankfully Israeli government has made this a litmus test.
that’s what ‘not the front runner’ means, harris is the front runner. the runner at the front.
But Buttigieg is the runner at the front in polls where they don’t ask about Kamala. I’m just saying we shouldn’t rule him out as a serious contender for the Primary, because he does lead some of the polling.
Yeah you should rule them out, pete and Kamala are losers.
They make people throw up in their mouths
Israel is a litmus test for Democrats in 2025
Most people don’t buy this both sides bs anymore
Anyone who supports Israel is Out
Well yeah, he’s a McKinsey man.
Best case scenario he’s a shitty psychopath CEO type who will lie to your face and stab you in the back without pause.

There’s warehouses full of skeletons, but they’re so ingrained in our system that you’ll have McKinsey advising the FDA and Mckinsey advising opioid manufactures on each side of the table.
Corporations and our tax dollars paying the same company millions of dollars to negotiate with itself, and the result is always CEOs and politicians deserve more, everyone else less
It’s a complete and utter sham of a state that is basically pageantry at this point.
McKinsey as a corporation has a lot of blame for how fucked shit is.
Even if Pete just sat in the mail room the whole time, I’d never vote for someone who worked for McKinsey.
He worked for giant firms that helped downsize companies for profits. He is one of the Bobs from Office Space. He should not be allowed to speak.
Every question to a politician should start with “No political consultant word salad please”
Simple: He believes if he says anything against Israel, AIPAC will do everything they can do to defeat him.

How did that turn out for Harris?
Harris had way too many other problems:
Yes the same problems pete will have. Go ahead and run him if you want another Republican president.
Boomers also won’t vote for someone younger than them. We’re stuck with the gerontocracy until they die off.
Go go Luigi printer!
Lmao is he actually a frontrunner? I remember when DeSantis was called that too and look how he turned out.
It’s so early that it’s kinda worthless to call anyone a frontrunner, but even if it were 2027 and the primaries were actively happening, Mayo Pete’s support from black people is so low (actually 0% in certain states in 2020) I’d expect it to be disqualifying. That said, the dems kinda of nobody to run, so idk.
He weirdly looks like Netanyahu now.

Can’t put a gay man up and think you’ll win over these borderline MAGA types.
Any political consultant who advises you to go after the maga types should be fired immediately. It ain’t happening. You try you’re just going to lose embarrassingly.
