When will liberals learn that you could vote for an idiot like Trump or a coherent professor like Obama but at the end you won't get anything different. The system has been ruled by an oligarchy that uses the branches of government as props in maintaining their power. Keep begging for social services or equality from those powerful elite, center right oligarchs, but they won't do shit because you checked a box. You're only playing their game, and as well as Mayor Pete can compose his sentences or Bernie can bring out the youth - they won't accomplish anything for the working class in America without mobilization. The left in a America has been dead since FDR, and he didn't do the things he did because he was a leftist either, but because the left gave him no other choice.

What a great role model for young and older voters. Voters of all ages, nationalities, democrats, independent & republicans should give him a chance

What differentiates and distinguishes Buttigieg from the rest of the field (including the top 3 frontrunners currently) is that, he processes each question from Maher and gives thoughtful answers, rather than canned reply that answer-but-don't-answer interviewer's questions, forever steering the answer back to their own agenda. Buttigieg's answers truly give me an insight into this guy as a person, rather than him as a politician, and I really appreciate that. (Maher is a good interviewer too.)

@audi presley Pete's plan for "Medicare for all who want it" is a closer step to Medicare for all than the ACA. The whole plan allows for private company, employer-paid healthcare. Everyone else goes into a government ran pool that will have the ability to negotiate prices, as well as a agency that has the power to change patents from the pharmaceutical industry by changing things like the amount of time before generics can be released by competitors or even paying a flat price for the agency to hand a patent completely to government itself if the companies will not negotiate in good faith. The same as if your land is needed in a right of way situation. The purpose of all of these things add up to a risk pool so large that it would logically be the cheaper option with a larger network of providers. That Means the "Medicare for all who want it" plan would lead to Medicare for all.

You can disagree with his strategy but I just wanted to point out he is running his campaign this way on purpose. In my opinion I agree that the policy needs to come but for example if this were 2015 Trump wouldn't even launch his campaign until months from now.

It's too easy, when one goes into a combative mode, to forget this principle. But, the wisest of diplomats practice this principle regularly.

To do that, he either has to poll high enough in the polls chosen by the DNC or he has to get 65,000 unique individual donations to his campaign. So, if you would pay money to see him debate Trump, you need to start now by donating at least $1 to his campaign. While you're at it, donate at least $1 each to all the other progressives who need to get on the debate stage so that the DNC doesn't block progressive voices in the primary campaign. You can either contribute through his campaign web site or by going to the Act Blue web site and looking him up to donate to his campaign there.

His answer highlights how he is mainly interested in religion for its political expedience: 9:52 Pete is actually an atheist who recognizes the political power of religion and wants to tap into it. He is very talented at making those demographic calculations. However, he seems void of policy substance (he admits this; see the end of his Vice interview) which is concerning to me. Don’t get fooled by his articulate language. Instead, focus on the concrete ways he aims to help others. So far I have heard very little on this. Is it a coincidence that both people running in the primary with military backgrounds (Pete and Gabbard) were reservists and not AD? Almost sounds like another brilliant political calculation. Again, nothing against this guy- he’s obviously very talented. It’s what I’m not hearing that concerns me. I think his primary reason for running is that it’s always been his life goal (since he mentioned wanting to do this when he was in his early 20s). Not because he feels an obligation to help people. The latter should come first. He’s possibly the most talented career politician we’ve ever seen. I’ll be patiently waiting to hear his policy positions. Just my .02

@@songbird6248 Why would you say Buttigieg's an atheist? That doesn't really jive w/ many statements he's made. You think he's being disingenuous when he talks about his faith? I feel ya on the point about him dodging any clear policies he plans to implement (reminds me a bit of Obama or any really good politician who's careful about making promises he/she can't or doesn't plan to keep). He did a good interview w/ Vox (perhaps you're referring to this one?) and talked about the greater importance (as he sees it) being in making changes to the structure of our political system since it is not representative of our views at large. Things like adding additional members to the supreme court that are appointed by UNANIMOUS approval by the other justices and abolishing the electoral college. I think these are great ideas and I really appreciate the focus on changing the system to become more reflective of the values of the majority. If that's done then the long list of reforms that many of us progressives have been chomping at the bit for (and are supported by a majority of the public) could finally be implemented and not suffer that fate of so many other good bills that die at the hands of the senatorial and congressional handmaiden's of the corporate world. I agree that he's very talented and his service MAY have been a political calculation (the way high schoolers do volunteer work to show it off on their applications to colleges). Overall though, I think it's good to remain sharp and open to skepticism, but I personally haven't detected anything that would lead me to believe he's being disingenuous. Now, when the rubber meets the road, I think he'd lose much of his backbone if elected (as did Obama). I haven't been as excited about Bernie this time around, but he does stand out still in the way that he does not seem to compromise his value based positions. I trust Bernie's backbone more so than any of the other candidates (save Marianne Williamson) to dig in his heels when necessary to not allow Republican obstructionism to alter his position and that it might even push him to more radical approaches (like declaring a National Emergency). Of course a National Emergency is not a good way to go about anything other than a true and present danger requiring immediate action, and this is why the procedural/systemic updates that Buttigieg talks about to go about fixing the system itself are really compelling. With a fixed system the will of the majority in cases such as medical care, minimum wage, taxes, etc... would be respected and delivered.

This man is special. Probably the most authentic and real candidate so far and smart to boot. I really hope he’s not too intellectual for the Americans! Any other country he would have been a shoo in.

I hope he wins. We need Major Pete at the helm of the country.

Freedom and caring for the poor are human value, not just your religious value.
