God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

why buy the whole seat for your butt at the mayor pete campaign stop where he sneers at blue collar workers for 15 minutes while making empty platitudes?! *TV monster truck ad voice over guy voice* YOU'LL JUST NEED THE EDGEEE EDGEEE!!!

Harris is running on a platform that absolutely rejects literally everything she said and did up to 30 minutes before she announced so that doesn't surprise me

Buttigieg's star, like Obama's after 2004, seems a bit like media manufacture where they pluck out a random inspiring politician and make them seem national level worthy.

for comparison, here's 538's profile on Wayne Messam, the mayor of Miramar, Florida, who announced he was running last week

quote:

If we just look at Messam’s political experience, his credentials are as strong as at least one “major” candidate in the race. Messam leads a city of 140,000 — larger than South Bend, Indiana, whence Mayor Pete Buttigieg hails. Miramar also has many more nonwhite residents than South Bend does — 47 percent of the Florida city’s population is black, and 36 percent is Hispanic — so Messam has more experience appealing to a key voting bloc or two in the party.

True, Buttigieg ran (unsuccessfully) for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, giving him a national profile — something that Messam certainly does not have. But Messam does have connections whose tangible benefits (e.g., money, staff) may prove useful. He sits on the board of the National League of Cities, a group that lobbies Washington on behalf of municipal governments, and has served as president of the league’s arm that specifically represents local African-American officials. His campaign told me that other mayors have already reached out to offer their help and said Messam also has a deep network of current and former professional athletes; Messam was a wide receiver on the 1993 Florida State University football team that won a national championship. Finally, Florida (more so than Indiana) is home to some big Democratic donors, and as the only presidential candidate (so far) from the Sunshine State, Messam could have front-door access to them.

so what makes one small potatoes municipal leader more qualified than another? it's really just personal perception

I don't understand where the 'enthusiasm' for this guy comes from at all. What concrete policies did he implement or support that made him appealing? Is he all on board for universal healthcare or something?

He's the (I believe) only candidate to discuss court packing openly as an option, but that is literally about it in terms of marks in the "pro" column and then there's a long rear end list of "con" poo poo like worked for McKinsey, joined military in 2009, called peaceful protestors advocating for fair wages at Harvard for janitors/food service workers "social justice warriors" and said that Zucc had more value than them, etc.

Yeah, Buttigieg, like Obama, had his name thrown around quite a bit before now. I was never familiar with Messam before he announced, but I live in Indiana so it kinda makes sense that I'd have heard of Buttigieg. He's had some star status with the media since about 2014, gained a bigger profile by coming out under Pence's inquisition the same year Gay Marriage was legalized and there was some talk about his "future" in 2016.

I agree that to a large extent his status is propelled by media interest, but he also kinda benefited from being associated with a triumphal moment for gay rights. Honestly, I think he just wound up on the Rolodex as a staunch (later open gay) liberal in a red state with a military background and people kept giving him air time because of the novelty. Helps that he's at least somewhat charismatic, I guess.
