Uglycat posted:If the sole result of his run is that the brilliant minority voices - the people who mic check him at events, and many people who wouldn't dare - are elevated onto this national stage and drown out the white folk talking from podiums (save Bernie, of course - though I'm confident he has the sense to at least yield the floor!)... if that's the sole result, he's done a service to his city and his nation. So Pete is doing the country a service by being terrible and racist enough that people openly protest his events? That's some twisted loving logic.

After the money that he's raised and the connections to billionaires, I guarantee he's getting a cushy gig at CAP or something like that, and he's going to be a guest on MSNBC for the rest of his life.

Pete has been playing a villain this whole time, for the greater good. When Bernie finally puts him to the sword, they will look into each others' eyes and there will be an understanding there. Bernie will silently communicate to Pete that he will lead this country as Pete would have wanted. Pete dies a villain, but Bernie knows the real story.

If he can’t win an election, he’s completely worthless. Either this cycle somehow becomes a boon to his career or he flounders into irrelevancy in a changing political environment.

Worthless for whom? Because for the institutions built around the democratic party, raising money is far more important than winning elections. If Bernie wins, or if a centrist wins and then loses to Trump, Buttigieg will get a job at CAP, crooked media, CNN, Kennedy School of Government or third way and appear on cable TV whenever president Bernie tries something radical. If a centrist is president, he is going to be in the NSC or ambassador to Norway or something like that. Either way, long term plan is to pull a Hillary and run for senate in a place like NY eventually.

joepinetree posted:Worthless for whom? Generally, I agree with your sentiment. However: 1. Billionaires who control our democracy don't need to raise money from anyone. Bloomberg himself has spent more money than the entire Democratic primary field combined. 2. If Bernie wins the nom and loses the general, then Pete in the Senate is just a new chair on the Titanic.

Went from losing Georgia to high level position at CAP,b from where she does joint events with Bloomberg and releases statements about how it's important to not question the results in Iowa, lest our democracy be harmed.

Debate has been over for a couple of days now. Shouldn’t discussion just be reabsorbed into the primary thread?
