Yeah, the "calling Harris a cop is racist" thing does seem pretty tied to an implied mistrust of PoC making up their own minds about expanding the carceral state.

The only party that pretends to give a poo poo about the debt is the GOP when a Democratic President is in power.

I’m increasingly convinced that Pete meant to declare for the GOP Primary but nobody bothered to correct him

If Trump bombed in 2016 I could definitely see him running in the GOP primary in 2020 as their token lgbt candidate

Not sure if he would have gotten far there though since the GOP base would have been in open armed revolt at that point

its a lie

he hasn't released any actual details about how he'd pay for anything, and the few things where he mentioned general principles make absolutely no loving sense

he said he'd pay for his $2 trillion knockoff green new deal with carbon fees, and his $1.5 trillion medicare for some plan by negotiating drug prices and rolling back the trump tax cuts

lol what bullshit, the carbon tax is explicitly sold in the plan as going directly to a kickback to lower and middle income families so they don't feel the price increase of goods.

I mean the Trump tax cuts were 2 trillion, so you could get 1.5 trillion by rolling them back.

Of course whether Medicare For Some Who Can Afford It would be any good or affordable if you only spent $1.5T on it is probably where the lie is

Guaranteed that there'd be something in whatever Pete put forward that let insurance or pharma siphon off the extra cash, leaving us exactly where we're at but with a slight adjustment in which people are getting rich off of our suffering.

Pete's not going to roll back the entire Trump tax cuts, though. I had a hard time finding an actual quote laying out his position, but he only wants to roll back the corporate portion of Trump's tax cuts, which "only" amount to around $1T, so he needs money from other sources to make up the gap.

https://mobile.twitter.com/therefore_I_M/status/1186823889286041601

Of course, that math doesn't take into account the fact that Pete is also promising a $400 billion tax cut on the middle class.

Gotta keep an eye on little details like that, since Buttigieg isn't the only one whose opposition of the Trump tax plan isn't actually living up to the hype. Biden released his tax plan today, and it doesn't even return the corporate tax rate to pre-Trump levels. Not that it's stopped from the media from praising him as a progressive superstar over it!
