Neither have I, but I can recognize how good he is at it and there are a lot dumber people than you and I that’ll fall for his bullshit.

There’s a reason that a mayor of a dumpass midwestern town is polling in double digits. He’s a very good speaker that knows the right notes to hit. That you and I don’t fall for it is irrelevant. He doesn’t want our votes anyways, he wants Biden voters.

I've been following Pete's political career since like 1999 and he has always spoken like that. I've honestly always thought it was a weak spot because he always sounds real robotic.

She claims she's not anti-vaxx, but she's also said vaccine mandates are Orwellian. She also wrote this, "most antidepressants are being prescribed by Dr.s who aren't even mental health professionals, & many times when people are simply SAD," which, really, gently caress you and what?

Pretty funny she felt the need to explicitly deny being a cult leader, though.

On MSNBC, the anti-Republican network, Claire McCaskill wants you to know that you can’t promise “free stuff” because people already assume they won’t get any of it and then Trump can tell them the Mexicans took it all. No criminal offense for border crossing combined with universal healthcare will be seen a mixture that will turn us into the underdeveloped world’s doctors office as people from elsewhere just dance across the border to get whatever they want done on our system’s dime.

Has anybody fallen harder than Beto? Dude was a legit rising star in Democratic politics and was arguably the most talked about candidate overall in the 2018 midterms. He landed the campaign manager that had been recommended by Obama and literally every Dem wanted for their campaign and loving Mayo Pete is running circles around him in the “youngish white moderate” lane of the primary. There are worse candidates in the field than Beto, but I don’t think any campaign has been as bad as his.

tbh I'm actually mildly offended by shitheads like this because everything she said there is super basic 'AIDS is hell and even while being treated it's hell so yea you probably need a little woo woo bullshit to make it less hell' that tons of people with terrible conditions get and she has a literal foundation that has done more for AIDS patients specifically (including get them meds you idiot) than literally anyone on that stage has done directly in their lives.

Like, gently caress, make fun of her psychic egg poo poo but are you really such a reddit reject you take 'you have to have a positive mindset and try to find a silver lining in this thing that will probably end your life even while being treated' and go 'pft, what a quack'? Have you actually worked around people with this kinda poo poo because these kinda comments are super common in therapy groups and all but yea clearly her charity work and all were a deep cover to just shove a crystal up their rear end and send them on their way, you absolute brick.

Beto is the middle point between Biden and Butti, and both of them are better versions of what he has to offer. He was a good choice for Texas. If he'd stayed there another cycle he might have well had the star power to be the Biden of next round, but he rushed headlong into a niche that was already filled and so he'll probably wind up a talking head.
