Sounds like my dad. This is a guy who grew up a democrat did his post doc work in San Francisco in 1970 and had his hair long And smoked weed every day. But if you ask him he will insist that he was not a hippie
Alternate smart ass response:
Geewillikers thatās just swell!
Seriously, Pete does say āgeewillikersā doesnāt he?
I highly doubt that Chasten would allow that 
It better be geewillikas or heās canceled

āGeewillikasā was his code name when he was running drugs for the CIA.

āmy problem with his comments was not that they were wrong, itās that he knows they were wrong.ā
This is like the central theme of why I cannot stand Peteās campaign.
I blame the person who is wrong, while knowing he is wrong, for political expediency more than I blame the person who is wrong due to ignorance.

Putting everything else aside, it is a fucking embarrassment if Dems look at the 2020 election and the stakes involved and decide that the mayor of a medium sized town in Indiana with no other experience to speak of is who we should run. Itās like the premise of a bad 90s movie.

But the alternative is SOCIALISM, which according to the good billionaires, the American people despise and will never vote for.
Iām so used to Dems fucking up in spectacular fashion that it hardly registers anymore.
But like if you want an out of touch moderate with an over inflated ego and a blind spot to criminal justice issues, Kamala is right there and has the advantage of having way more relevant experience. If you need all of that plus a talented speaker, thereās Booker. And obviously while being black doesnāt necessarily mean youāll get the support of black voters, either of them would for sure get out more black votes than GOPete.
Itās just bizarre to me.

I donāt really see the case for Mayor Pete being better than Harris or Booker and they are obviously more qualified.

long way to go Kerry 1 Edwards 2 in Iowa that cycle of course
one of the candidates is the favorite to win iowa, one of those is about to drop out
but sure thereās no case for one over the other.
Obama just got into the senate. Trump was a clown buffoon.
it doesnāt matter
Thereās not some cabal of Dems thatās deciding to run Pete. Heās just winning with voters atm. I doubt the DemE is thrilled with some no name gay guy who has problems with black voters. The real establishment dudes are trying to crowbar Deval Patrick in there, and puff up Klob and Biden.

Neither? Both? All that matters is that heās the worst human to ever exist.
