Were you at all concerned with pro-Israel contributors in 2020 or did the publicity generated since Hamas attacked peak your interest? Since those donations to Buttigieg occurred 5 years agoā¦are you *still* going to put him on blast for them? If so, please justify your reasoning.
Individuals who were pro-Israel gave the overwhelming majority of the $$$ Track AIPAC reports during 2020 primary. 5 years ago! Buttigieg has not been a candidate since then - long before the tensions arose between Israel & Gaza. Are you suggesting that people who support Israel canāt contribute?
When did he receive money from Pro-Israel donors? Letās investigate. Track AIPAC gets itās info from Open Secretsā¦right?
Buttigieg has been explicit in his stance here šš¼ It does require reading. www.politico.com/newsletters/...
Long list there, buddy. Now show us who you are *for*. Who do you support for 2028? Surely DSA has some potential candidates in the wings. Share that why they show be considered.
Iāve checked your timeline history and didnāt see any reference to Senate Democrats in appreciation for their efforts in killing the bill that would have banned trans athletes from participating in womenās sports. Not even a pat on the back. Shameful behavior. www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
Are you under the assumption *former* Secretary Buttigieg was in charge of sending weapons to anyone? Plus heās been out of office for 7 months? š
Incorrect. If your post history is searched would we find that you posted positive comments about Senate Democrats killing the bill in March that would have effectively banned transgender participation in womenās sports? No? Only negative comments for Democratsā www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
Does your posting history show that you had positively commented on the FACT that Senate Democrats *killed* a bill in March that would have effectively banned trans athletes from participating in womenās sports? Or do you just post negative comments about Democrats? www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
Hey David Slack, I searched your history & found nary a post commenting on Senate Democrats killing the trans bill that would have banned trans athletes in womenās sports. Trashing Democrats is your norm, but no acknowledgment when they are supportive? How precious. š www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...
Wowā¦you do realize that cited information comes from Ballotpedia? But I assume your bloomers were in such a tight twist you failed to see that.
From Grokā¦ Difficult but not impossible. Do you want change? Make it happen. Get organized. Or sit back and complain that one of the big two isnāt doing what you want. If you choose to band together you at least stand a chance of success. Your choice.
Are you implying itās too dang hard to put in the work? Youād rather sit at you phone and bitch because a political party doesnāt do what you want? Fix that by organizing.
What are *you* doing to organize a grassroots effort to get a super progressive party with candidates that represent your goals & values. Put in the work to develop your own group that represents you to a T. I see many people complaining & threatening not to vote. Get to work. Be proactive.
So, you arenāt *for* anyoneā¦ Just actively *against* candidates. Sitting there waiting to be spoon fed one that believes in what you do and complain if one doesnāt appearā¦ ā¦instead of working to find someone to support and elevate.
You still rambling? Iām still waiting on the candidate you support. Youāre quick to put Pete on blast. Who you willing to put in some tome working to elevate?
Coming from the guy who supposedly has been on social media since the early days, but did not know that a hashtag generated on Twitter 6 years agoā¦ Would not show up on BluSky. And how did that work out. Mockery & ridicule indeed.
What have *you* done to elevate your preferred candidate? Ohā¦and who is that candidate you prefer?
We are generating content for thousands who follow us showing them the true face of the oppositionā¦ who claim they will withhold their votes because of some manufactured grievance. We brought an unknown guy with a difficult name to national prominence. What have *you* done?
Who was attacking a potential 2028 candidate in this discussion? YāALL Who was ADVOCATING for a particular candidate? US Because we āhold opinions and beliefsā. Nowā¦itās time you tell us who *you* support.
Good! Then youāre not as wet behind the ears as you project. Exposure to multiple personalities online should have introduced you to people who look and sound differently and fostered a tolerance for those differences. Itās a shame that didnāt work.
They donāt remember the days of Internet Relay Chat and the connections made around the worldā¦visits made abroad to meet up with friends made online. They think their *new* style of communication isā¦.new ššš
We have been on *socials* for 35 fucking years. Weāve got more experience than you have dreamed of. We grew up with America Online and dial up internet access.
Sweetie, you can take your opinion about how I sound and stuff it in that teeny weeny sac of yours.
You just mindlessly pass on garbage. Thatās why we call you out. And when we do you get your bloomersā¦.well that jock sac you sportā¦in a twist. Getting all pissy because we laughed at you looking for a hashtag that was 5 years old! Untwist your bloomers cutie pie.
Letās talk about evoking three or even five year old issues from the 2020 primary. Look back at what started this discussionā¦ Issues that were hashed out back then that keep cropping up because yāall havenāt taken the effort, time, or gumption to investigate whether they are true.
āA grandmotherā šµ š The *very* idea :::hands on hips::: Weāre way ahead of you in this political game because weāve seen some things. You young whipper snappers need to catch up, jock strap. šāāļø
Iāll be glad to answer any questions you have.
Plus you used Justice Dems as a source for your article. These Justice Dems šš¼šš¼šš¼ Infiltrators who want to take down the Democratic party. Get outta here.
You writing a piece on Elizabeth Warren changing her position on M4A? Or AOC?
Memories are short and glitchy as hell. Just like transgender people forget the multiple times allies have supported them with full throated advocacy, but say one phrase wrong in an interview or express an idea that can be taken the wrong way and be hailed as an enemy for it. Itās human nature.
How does Buttigieg poll higher than Black potential candidates if Blacks are ārepulsedā by him? Does that mean theyāre ārepulsedā by Blacks too?
Limited appeal? Who has higher appeal across the board other than Harris?
These stats came from the SoCal Strategies poll which was in the top 5 most accurate 2024 pollsters. The cross tabā¦
Then in Julyā¦.they polled again. š who is still in 1st place. Would you like to back up your claim with evidence?
Are you aware of who was the most accurate pollster in the 2024 cycle? Polling almost 3500 people. This one šš¼
Or the airlinesā¦Oopsieā¦we have extreme leftists singing Peteās praises about fixing decades long problems there. They have absolutely no clue what the hell theyāre talking about or how stupid they appear.
That one that threw up an Axios headline evidently didnāt click on it because the article is behind a paywall. š I canāt wait until someone drops the supply chain issueā¦like pleaseā¦post that one! Or the railroad issuesā¦got that one covered too.
What was the main premise of the article you linked? What area did they highlight as the most problematic during Buttigiegās tenure?
Nut jockey strap, The 2020 election is OVER! There was no need for campaigning in the US or internationally for American citizen votes abroad while Buttigieg was serving asā¦ Secretary of Transportation! Are you naturally stupid or are you playing dumb?
ššššš This is the competition in the political arena of BluSky??? How absolutely pathetic.
Oh Lordy. Are they trying to search for a Twitter hashtag on BlueSky? It wasnāt even in existence in 2019-20. ššš
Those reading this thread will form an opinion of who is stupid.
She was not aware of #InternationalTeamPete. She is now. š
You would be surprised to know there is an entire coalition of people worldwide who joined #TeamPete because they want to see America beat back facisim. We welcome #InternationalTeamPete as productive members in recruiting Americans Abroad to vote for him. They are an integral part of the coalition.
Sleep tight, Anna. Recharge before you attempt to put Buttigieg on blast again. āIf you block me that means Iām correctā. š
He would have missed out on loving Chasten and being in a fulfilling marriage that made his life whole. Yepā¦he said that to Chastenās face in front of an entire auditorium of LGBTQ+ people. Soā¦.what *exactly* was your point in posting your comment? Your attempts to trash Pete are easily debunked.
Just what were you trying to prove with that comment? That he would *still* take a gay pill if one was available? Nopeā¦he wouldnāt. That his husband was mortified to hear him say that. Nopeā¦Chasten has known that *entire* story for years. Did Pete affirm that if heās taken the pillā¦
Totally ignore hisā¦ ā 8 years as mayor in an executive position ā 4 years as USDOT Secretary supervising 55,000 employees and multiple agencies. Find fault in that 2.5 years as a spreadsheet warrior. How pathetic and desperate are you, Anna?
By gawd, Anna has been proven wrong on bread pricing, and the gay pill, but sheās sticking firm on McKinsey. Buttigieg worked as an entry level employee for 2.5 years before quitting. Hold that āstraight out of collegeā employment against him FOREVER, girl!
Lordy, theyāre the most fragile bunch Iāve encountered in ages. Tuck tail and leave at the most casual blowback. It indicates they had absolutely zero ability or gumption to back up their claims.
Itās crazy how they disappear when called out. I donāt think they even know what a corp dem is. Just parroting what theyāve been indoctrinated to say.
Oh dear, Iām not finished. You made a reference about Pete, his struggle with being gay, and his husband. Hereās the speech where he made that statement. Itās Saturday nightā¦for your watching pleasure.
Welp, there ya go. Another accuser bites the dust. When asked to prove his claim, he bites the dust. Typical leftist liar.
You have any examples of him bowing to corporations? Any documentation?
What corporation is Buttigieg beholden to. Name them. Right here šš¼
If you had been around for the 2020 primary these stories would be nothing new. They are being rehashed by the same old Buttigieg haters for online clout. Note that they rarely post for a candidate they support. Most of their political engagement is hateful rhetoric against those they hate.
Oh noā¦youāre still hanging on to this conspiracy? Sweetie, itās time to move on because this is ridiculous. The Canadian bread price scandal was started in 2001. Pete Buttigieg wasā¦ ā nineteen years old ā a freshman in college ā coordinating bread pricing all over Canadaā¦ From his dorm room???
So sorry your third party grassroots efforts are such a failure. Maybe itās because people arenāt too keen on supporting those policies. Toodles. /muted
LOLā¦you really arenāt very good at this. Always with excuses. You have been *victimized* AGAIN. Everything is always someone elseās fault because the system is rigged. Sweetie, if a political party canāt organize enough volunteers to gather 2% of voter signatures they donāt belong on the ballot.
Ha! Wrong. Third parties have to qualify for ballot access by acquiring 2% of voter signatures. Too damn lazy to do even *that*. Supreme Court agrees. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...
Thank you for admitting that you lied about Buttigieg. Please refrain from *assuming* anything about him in the future.
Would you please show documentation where Buttigieg said he wasā¦ ānot in favor of trans people in sports or receiving HRTā He has never said that, but I will retract my statement if you have evidence he did so. Will you do the same?
Even Democratic candidates in 2020 had to meet requirements to even get onstage for the first debate. Itās looking like you think anyone should have access to muddy the field without proving they have sufficient support to even meet minimal qualifications. How precious.
Hmmmā¦looks like thereās more than 2 parties that have ballot access in NY. Why canāt other parties do the same. Are they too god damned lazy to put in the work?
Iām just peachy. Thanks for your concern. Just tired of leftists trying to pull a āTEA party/MAGAā-like takeover of the Democratic party. If they donāt like it in this sandbox, go build your own tent and have a blast making it *just* like you want.
Can you explain WHY those who donāt like the Democratic party choose to infiltrate itā¦ INSTEAD ā¦of putting in the effort to build a grassroots base of their own? Are they too god damned lazy to put in the work? Buttigieg was āon pointā when he called this out in a primary debate.
Do you think that candidates backed by revolutionaries/socialists/leftists/communists should be given free reign to overtake the Democratic Party without pushback? To reap rewards from all the groundwork & infrastructure laid by Democrats for decades? :::cont šš¼
Bullshit
Did you know that he came from a military family? That his maternal grandfather & great uncle had an influence on his decisions? You quickly jump to conclusions, but did you do the research on his background?
Of the possible candidates currently being polled, who do *you* think is best? Enough with trashing those you donāt like. Who do you LIKE?
This āš¼āš¼āš¼āš¼
Please do some research on the difference between opposition to war in Iraq andā¦. ā¦support of the action taken in Afghanistan.

Youāre putting up a š¤”? Hair, makeup and kankles just like the MAGA lord?
Whoaā¦you are *now* questioning where the Navy sent him for basic training? Youāre really dipping into the pool of full blown conspiracy. What the hell is wrong with you?
We await the culmination of your efforts to field a viable candidate instead of *only* trashing the ones you donāt like. Youāre not producing much for voters to vote *for*.
So, your party is incapable of developing the organizational skill to field a viable candidate in 2028. Got it.
If leftists stay true to the philosophy theyāve been preaching for years, they wonāt go for Pritzker. ā Billionaire - an š man with š° ā former board member of AIPAC Theyāve pretzel twisted themselves into supporting AOCā¦like we havenāt tried to elevate a woman two times and failed.
*money
Have you looked closely at that meme? They tell you where their info comes from. Open Secrets also will tell you that Bernie Sanders took o ey from AIPAC. How ābout *that*.
In this thread, @giackal.bsky.social complained about being blockedā¦ So, here we are šš¼ Bless the āļøās heart.
Sorry that my comments were construed to be so horrendous that you feel victimized. Being a victim of social media *attacks* can be very deflating, especially when one gets pushback on their personal opinions. My advice was offered to improve debate skill level to avoid that. Have a good evening.
You really arenāt very good at this. You might consider upping your skill level before playing in this sandbox.
Shitty as compared to AOCās numbers among black voters on the same polls? š¤
You really avoid answering questions, donāt you? Easily dismissive of other peopleās opinions while hiding behind distractions trying to move the goalposts. FYIā¦other polling on Buttigiegās favorability with Blacks. šš¼
You need to broaden your sources of information & not rely on clickbait headlines only. But thatās a discussion for another day. If AOC won the primary, I would definitely vote for her even though I have reservations about her experience. Would you do the same no matter who won?
Iām asking you a serious question? Who do you want to see as the nominee in 2028? If you are only trashing the ones in the lead now and have zero alternatives, you might need to get to work instead of bitching.
Who is your preferred candidate that can beat the GOP machine ā¦including any who arenāt on the polled lists so far. Who would you fight in the trenches to see electedā¦knock on doors, work in their campaign offices, travel to other states get their message out?

Buttigieg on faith. episcopalnewsservice.org/2020/07/16/p...
Look at both interviews if you think they said the same. Transcript of Buttigiegās interview with Parnas.
Buttigieg agrees with you that politicians should not be involved in decision makingā¦especially in youth sports situations. Transcript of his Parnas interview.
Have *you* considered minding your own god damned business about what other people do with their time? Especially when they make you look foolish for not being able to answer a simple question. If you want to play in this sandbox you best up your game, Sweetie.
Why do you assume that if both Buttigieg and Klob stayed in, the primary would have turned out differently and what are you basing that assumption on?
Bernie supporters trended hashtag #DropOutPete for *weeks*. After results came in from SC, he did indeed drop out because the numbers were not there to move into Super Tuesday. Bernie Bros were so excited they learned the High hopes Dance and tweeted it telling Pete *BYE*. Whatās your issue?
I canāt tell you what heāll do in the future, but can only judge him by past efforts to support the community. If you havenāt read his statement on LBGTQ+ rights and efforts, hereās a link to his archived campaign policies. Pay particular attention to the videos. web.archive.org/web/20200206...
Thank you! This is precisely the type of information that Buttigieg is referring to in the last paragraph of that transcriptā¦ Bringing people together to honestly talk about concerns will lead to better outcomes. Your ability to calmly respond to parental Qs would be invaluable.
Are you implying that parents should *not* have concerns about their middle school daughters competing on teams with trans girls? That those concerns should *not* be taken seriously? It has nothing to do with skin color and your comment trying to correlate the two is disingenuous.
