@sara parker hahaha what????

Oh, yes... Thank goodness...

Who cares about his personality 🙄

What are his policy positions. He literally said on Vice he doesn’t have any

he has no policies he stands behind 100%.. he says we need to come together behind "philosophy".. hillary 2.0

retron phil5 Bernie doesn’t talk like an aristocrat and actually stands behind the same positions he’s had since 2000bc.. not having policy points is an easy way for him to flip flop and appear more honest. Also he’s been meeting with corporate dems at “stop Bernie” dinners. Don’t fall for this act pls

retron phil5 I would rather a candidate take stands behind policy positions and not be able to deliver 100% than vote for someone based on how many languages he speaks and how “smart” he is. To each their own I guess

Him and Andrew Yang

O'Rourke-Buttigieg ticket!

@@kayrosis5523 yeah buy no one is giving Andrew Yang any media coverage. Maybe Colbert will bring him on too.

@@samueljackson315 Joe Rogan did, and his campaign is exploding in popularity. I think Yang on Colbert is just a matter of time

Monique Cobb I met him too (at a rally but still) he’s an asshole. And why is he targeting Mike Pence? What did Pence ever do?

Why specifically do you feel he's an asshole? That's easy to say about anyone, but without details it doesn't mean much...

Mr. Lightning Bolt what did pence ever do....??? are you serious?? do you know anything about how disgustingly discriminative that man is??

Mr. Lightning Bolt pence has some extreme beliefs. He has supported the lying, cheating sexual predator in the WH and he establishes a Christian value in selecting trump.

@@johnf.kennedy8085 This might not be the specific reason but on Pence's Governor campaign website he has a section about defunding Planned Parenthood and putting that money into conversion therapy. Sure Planned Parenthood may go against his "good Christian values" so sure make the decision to defund it. But he doesn't stop there, he wanted to take that money and use it to "convert" homosexuals like Buttigieg. While you could argue that those "therapies" were meant for people who want to change their sexual orientations, it would also allow parents to FORCIBLY put their children into those programs.

Buttigieg and Yang are definitely the dark horse candidates

I'm 100% with you. I'm 26 and a teacher, and I'm starting to think that voting for another 70-year-old is not how I want my voice to be heard. Not only that, but, watching Mayor Pete's interviews, he is so impressive. He answers every question effortlessly and honestly, and his policies are about results. And, I mean, come on: Harvard educated, a Rhodes scholar, an Afghan vet, and he's gay? Aaron Sorkin couldn't have written this better.

If only the people who put that president in office would wake the truck up.

@@emberechos LOVE Bernie, but get outta the way sweetheart and enjoy the rest of your life.

On Twitter, I said that Mayor Pete would be perfect to go against Trump because he is the opposite of e EVERYTHING Trump is. A person, who I am guessing is a Trump supporter, said that some people in Indiana believe that Mayor Pete was trying to force them into supporting the lgbtq community or they were being pushed out of South Bend , and that because of that he's made himself unable to be elected in South Bend anymore hence running for president. Of course I didn't believe that to be true. First of all, in 2019 someone is forcing someone to believe something they don't and then that someone starts running for president with that skeleton in their closet? I mean can anyone from Indiana tell me if they have heard something about this?

"trying to force them into supporting the lgbtq community " What the hell does that even mean?@@mariiiiii55

Synic -- Also a public homosexual claiming to be a Christian in a gay "marriage" in the day when only bucket lists matter for candidates.

@@DapperMudkip So there is no difference between Christianity and Stoicism or Buddhism? That is an illiterate claim. But saying Butt-egg is a "good Christian" while attempting to show that the Bible itself is a lie, and Christianity is therefore an illusion -- is a stupid, contradictory idea even for a blithering moron, Diaper Mud.

ConservativeAnthem ConservativeAnthem ConservativeAnthem absolutely pathetic, you’ve yet to bring up a single fact. That’s a really cute use of the thesaurus there, but it’s still playground talk. I never said the Bible is an illusion, it’s a great source of virtue but it is unfortunately not written by a prophet. It’s safe to assume that contemporaries mortal prejudices seeped in, no? As a matter of fact, there’s even talk of the homophobic verses being mistranslations. I would tell you to go do research on the biology of this topic and return with a viable argument, but that’s clearly asking too much of you. If you can’t muster a shred of tolerance to look past his sexuality and see all the good he is doing, then you are truly and utterly lost. Humanity is moving forward and closed minded fools such as yourself will eventually be flushed out. It’s already begun. It’s just a matter of time now.

Another with no chance against trump

@no bot Yes, Trump lies and his followers love it. But if Buttigieg wins the nomination, he'll devour Trump with intelligence, wit and humor. Besides, he's such a nice guy-thoughtful, compassionate, humble-any attempt by Trump to demean him will backfire. Have hope. America's woke-way more of us than Trump followers and if you noticed in the mid term election, way more of us voting than ever before.

Making trump look pathetic in a debate.... That's really the president's job.

@@smooth_concrete I agree. Hillary's strategy was to look like the intelligent, reasonable, sane one against Trump in debates but he still won. I'm concerned that Pete needs to do more. Kalama Harris seems more slick and can handle getting a bit filthy by trolling Trump. Bernie Sanders is equally loud and angry but also more likeable than Trump. I really like Pete but sadly just being smart and eloquent isn't enough. Pete's advantage, however, is that he can pull in votes from moderate voters and the crucial Midwest states.

I think we operate under a false understanding here. There is only one person who makes President Trump look pathetic in a public debate, and that is himself.

Hence the 80% victory

yesssss

Drive around SB and take a good look at all the abandoned properties throughout the city, then get back to me.

@@jimvelez7307 - Like all cities and towns big and small, there are always places where you can point to if you are looking for problems like urban blight, socioeconomic disparity, etc. When he was governor, what did Mike Pence ever do to help South Bend, the fourth largest city in Indiana? Furthermore, as VP, why does Pence hypocritically lend his support to a POTUS who clearly violates most - if not all - of the conservative "Christian family values" that he claims to espouse? Don't make the mistake of insinuating that "all the abandoned properties throughout the city" are the result of Pete Buttigieg's doings. He was born in 1982, and the issues that have plagued South Bend for decades even before his birth are actually being addressed by him as its current second-term mayor. To put the issue you have raised in proper context, you should consider these facts from Wikipedia: "The population of South Bend declined after 1960, when it had a peak population of 132,445. This was chiefly due to migration to suburban areas as well as the demise of Studebaker and other heavy industry. Today, the largest industries in South Bend are health care, education, small business, and tourism. Remaining large corporations include Crowe Horwath, Honeywell, and AM General. Recently, the city population has started to grow for the first time in nearly fifty years. The old Studebaker plant and surrounding area, now called Ignition Park, is being redeveloped as a technology center to attract new industry. The city has also been featured in national news coverage for Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has achieved recognition for his various economic development projects within the city…" Contrary to what some conservatives may want to believe, the traditional labor forces and manufactured goods produced by heavy industry of the past won't be coming back, but are being replaced with new technology, computer automation and robotics.

I am not from South Bend but live in IN and I am hella proud of this dude!

Then he has most definitely done something right!

Carol Manyeruke .. what? Lol think about what he is proposing - oh that’s right... nothing. He has no policies, no platform. You choose your president based off what?!? Emotions? Yikes

There are a shit ton of candidates, no one makes time for a mayor no one has heard of. And they haven't heard of him because they don't make time for him.

He isn't the ratings draw

He also JUST started an exploratory committee and isn't even running yet. This interview is probably gonna help quite a bit

well , he made it into Colbert time.. not many people make it there so I say he is getting more than a regular mayor ...and that's good.. hope he makes it ...but honestly, whoever makes it as the candidate , has a greater chance of winning next year 👍

Because he’s really not qualified to be president based on experience. I have a local mayor in my town and the town next over that are way more qualified than him.

Again, for all his claimed experience, he did not state what his policy positions on war are, or on any other issue. Am I supposed to just trust his judgement and dismiss my own thoughts on the issue just because he's a vet? If Bernie doesn't run I would probably very well be voting for a young millennial veteran, and it would be Tulsi Gabbard.

You say that based off a 7 minute interview?

The guy doesn't even support Medicare for All

I am a RINO (e.g. Registered Republican with conservative-leaning political views who recognizes that the GOP sold us out years ago to pander to Religious fanatics and even racists). I vote for the best candidate on the ticket. I have voted for POTUS candidates from 3 different political parties over that last 3 elections (McCain, Obama, and Johnson). From what I can tell, there are only 2 Democrats that I would consider voting for right now: Pete B. and Tulsi G. I might consider voting for someone else if one of those two is in the VP slot. It is a shame that neither of them, especially Pete B., has the same level of notoriety as the other frontrunners... and I suspect that the DNC will suppress them since they don't raise as much money as their vapid "peers." Guess that we'll wait and see...

Platitude Pete is a pretender. Don't trust politicians who deliberately keep their policy positions vague, no matter how intelligent and insightful they may seem.

Trump has a group of followers who like him because he attacks groups they dislike / hate. They aren't going to be swayed by smart, quick and witty. Watch the movie "Idiocracy" and see how they responded to someone of average intelligence. There is a large minority of Americans who would be happy to be living under that mindset...

@@MrNunyoBidness Really ? Poker versus chess ? lol So far this guy is an unknown simple Mayor in a small town of Indiana. Trump has been a name recognized in the entire world for years and He is the President of the USA. Lets see who plays what.

@@gigiontube DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE. HE DOESN'T NEED TRUMPS TOADSTOOL HE'S GOT A VERY GOOD LOOKING HUSBAND.

Truthfully, Trump is an epic debater and would destroy Pete. Pete stands for nothing really. He has no facts to support his ideas (which are super NOT progressive at all). Pete seems like a nice guy but Trump would own him.... look at how he annihilated Hillary.

Agreed 💯%. Pete Buttigeig is precisely what this country, and the world, needs at this moment in history. Next to true leadership like the prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern (also 37 yrs old), my generation is breaking through the stimied barriers of fascism, and it's truly inspiring.

Except Mr. Rogers actively told gay people he knew to tone that down and make it less of a part of their personality. I can't speak for his religious views, but if he truly followed the Bible and the mandate of love like he publicly showed for decades, he would know that homosexuality is undeniably and categorically wrong. "Therefore, whoever knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin."- James 4:17 I personally want to vote for Pete if he makes it through the primaries and becomes the nominee (unlikely, since it will probably be Biden), but I cannot allow the normalization of homosexuality.

@@brandondavidson4085 According to the documentary about him, he reversed that stance in later years and was ashamed of asking people to hide who they are. And as Buttigeig says in this vid - you have a problem with his homosexuality? Take it up with his creator. God makes people gay and we're made in God's image. Ergo - God created homosexuality. Who are we to demonize God's creation?

@@MKPiatkowski No, I hated that statement too. That's like saying God creates people who are habitual liars or thieves, or people who cheat on their spouses are born that way. God does not create anyone to sin.

@@brandondavidson4085 let's face it we ha e no idea of the authorship of said book. And the contradictions in some places and savagery in othets gives me pause.

Don't forget he wants "Health Care for all, if they want it."

He definitely has Obama's charm and class. Hopefully his policies will be better though. Because Obama's lack of those gave us Trump.. At least the Dem field is looking way more interesting now than just Queen Hillary.

Viva LaVlogz Exactly... I’m down with that. I don’t think forcing folks into a policy that they aren’t comfortable with is the way to bring us together. However, I believe that , like Medicare , most will see the benefits and jump on board. Change is hard, but I’ll be damned if we can’t change people’s minds into realizing that health care is a universal right, as is education. How can those things be bad for our country?

fennegvdgvd In what way did Obama policy give us trump? Other than he’s not white?

@@margaretmccollister6124 The problem with a Medicare buy-in like Mayor Pete is suggesting is that you don't get the majority of the economic benefits you'd get through medicare-for-all and you won't get universal coverage. By streamlining the system, removing profit margins and putting everyone on a single plan you can cut out redundancies, lower costs and provide better care for everyone. Without removing the for profit healthcare system there's no way to get the costs down to make the program sustainable long term. Healthcare rates will continue to rise, people will still go bankrupt because private healthcare companies refused to cover x or y. Not to mention the republicans, pharmaceutical and health insurance companies will fight you tooth and nail regardless of whether you go for a full measure (med-4-all) or half measure (buy-in) so you mine as well go for the full measure because it's provides better care at lower prices and covers EVERYONE. As to this... "I don’t think forcing folks into a policy that they aren’t comfortable with is the way to bring us together." Sometimes you have to do what's right and trust that people will come along eventually. I mean if we didn't then we'd still have slavery today. That's what leading looks like. The only reason people are afraid of a single payer system is fear mongering and propaganda. Medicare-4-all type systems have successfully existed in every other modern nation for decades. And everyone of those countries pays less and has better results. The only way to push aside the propaganda is to let the citizens see the results first hand when they're seeing their same doctors without having to worry about premiums or surprise medical expenses. When they experience it for themselves and realize it's nothing scary, most will come around.

Well, after Obama, there are no longer any standards for leadership.

@@ConservativeAnthem wut

Do you know anything about his actual policy proposals, or are you just choosing a candidate based on charm and charisma? Don’t be stupid and fall for the media darling of the day. RESEARCH. His record is not good, and he is no progressive as he claims.

I think its Bernies time. This guys time might be still to come, once he’s proven to be as consistent as someone like Bernie.

Yang gang. Do your research silly. He has zero platform. Don’t choose your president off of emotions and “he feels right” - fucker has corporate donors.. yang has 70+ proposed policies on his site

Please check out andrew yang, pete has literally 0 policies

@@stephlynn1982 YOU NEED TO RESEARCH peteforamerica.com/issues/ here are his policied divided in security, freedom and democracy. The real problem here is he is gay so he could make our kids gay #NoHomoInUS

Fingers crossed, right.

Never gonna happen. Do you know what you need to win a presidency? Actual policy, not just charisma and platitudes covering a shady past. Fuck mayor Pete. He’s a fake progressive 100%.

@@stephlynn1982 Looking at 2016, not a lot apparently.

@Dragon Fox Considering he's running for president and you're just a mediocre sitting in front of a computer, he probably gives it too.

@Dragon Fox You're a parody and you don't even know it.

@Dragon Fox oh, so, it's left that can't meme, when "the left can't meme" and "libtard cucks" are the right's only memes? Having only two (overused) memes is the definition of "can't meme"

@Dragon Fox "Some of us have better things to do." ... he says on a UKposts comment section without a lick of self-awareness. Listen... I didn't mean to trigger you by pointing out your own inadequacy. It's been over a day. Let it go.

@Dragon Fox Sure, Jan.

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Trump doesn't call people names to their faces... he waits until they're not around, like the cheapass coward in an ill-fitting suit he is.

You know Pete is READY for that one.

There are policies all over his website! 😊

Pete has 0 policies, check out andrew yang he has a way more detailed plan

Which deadshit site did you get that fake news from? Green New Deal is specifically about the environment. @Tia J

@Dragon Fox: sure, they "should" have nothing to do with each other -- two separate issues, both important, but unrelated, right? Sounds good in theory... but in REALITY, racial disparities in terms of local environmental conditions (e.g. air pollution levels) are a huge issue. And on a global level, environmental issues are a huge issue for *everyone*. So, we need to work on both, and they need to be worked on together, because, in our current reality, they're linked. To say otherwise is either ignorant or, lacking ignorance of the above, itself a racist thing.

ED S: do you actually think that being gay is the only thing he cares about? Is being (I presume) straight (and if the presumption is wrong, then being whatever you consider your sexual orientation to be) the only thing you care about??

Dragon Fox: I don't think global warming is racist, I think polluters point their pollution towards brown folks, because our racist society is more prone to letting them get away with it that way. I think this because there's abundant evidence of it. Why do you think that this belief somehow got us Trump? I'm trying to understand how you're thinking about this, because... if I'm doing something that got us Trump, I want to unpack it and change behavior.

Dragon Fox: and I think you are a troll, and I'm going to stop feeding you now. Goodbye.

No shit! Wages have not met the inflation of living expenses in decades

Evan AB Absolutely right! He should know this.

Less than your parents meaning when you will be their age. By definition that ship cannot have sailed yet. ( Unless you're implying your parents make less than your grandparents, which I doubt)

Adrienne Van Greevenbroek He is 37. This generation does indeed make less money than their parents at the same age.

i believe that's what he's saying and that there is need for a serious course correction. I'll never make as much as my father and I'll struggle to catch up to my mother even with a much more powerful degree, white male privilege on my side and having been in the workforce my entire eligible life while she was raising kids through her highest earning years.

Julio_Chav but you can volunteer and spread the word .... look at that as your way of voting

Also by being engaged and following politics you participate more than most adults, just don't let life get in the way of your civil duties when you grow up.

@@yaritza4973 Oh, of course! I've basically convinced all of my family on this guy! I don't really know much others who can vote, but here's hoping my family does the same as me!

Encourage and spread the word to those that can vote! He needs the momentum!

I’m definitely voting for him in the primaries and will donate to his campaign. Continue spreading the word about him!

it also rhymes

Beth Nott good luck

thank you yoda with a soda

It is so sad that he did not actually get elected...

He has no policies to get to that vision though Andrew yang has a much clearer plan so please check him out

Could he settle for veep?

I didn't notice because that's NOT what he says. THIS is what he says, "...the next minute it's an OFFICER involved shooting with racial sensitivity." @3:44 40 people gave thumbs up to this comment. "Telephone" and bandwagoning haters at it's worst. We need to work on our listening skills and not be so eager to find fault. Reach for the positive. Fake news survives because the hopeless thrive.

fairystarbug for the record, fake news is generally at its worst it a) is hateful and b) would be problematic if it’s true. This sort of is true, and is basically meaningless. It’s not pizzagate. There is no hate in this comment. Also, in this current administration, everyone is in a state of hopelessness I was wrong though, and for that I’m sorry.

@@brianmorton9419 What's concerning is the applause your comment received, and less about the actual comment. We're certainly allowed to make mistakes, as much as we are allowed to critique each other. This is human. But what this dialogue reveals is collective vulnerability, gullibility, fallibility, and most importantly highlights our responsibility to guard and protect truth in our conversations (particularly online). I appreciate your reply and accountability for the error. THAT is a rare occurrence under this administration.
