Property taxes tied to schools funding and “healthcare” to employment was the most shocking thing I’ve first encountered here. Never even heard of it anywhere else. And not being able to see the prices at the doctor’s or dental office for the basic services.

Theocracies have a long record which is abysmally bad. About the worst form of government possible. Theocrats weaponize religion; they decide what “God’s will” is, & use religion to justify all their criminal activities. Opponents are by definition against God, so they’re evil & must be destroyed.

lol. read this as "number 1 will save you" and was confused at first. I would encourage you not to think of "religion" as distinct from all other fields of human endeavor. Anything humans do can be corrupted over time. IMO, we need a philosophical system that will account for this.

So many of the comments here reflect a lack of understanding of the teachings of Jesus. Believing that you should love your neighbor as yourself for example has nothing to do with religion or being a theist. A powerful way of living in society is doing the right thing (as Jesus taught).

Besides all that, I just don't trust him. He's just a little too slick, too Obama-like. He'll make a lot of promises that he has no intention of keeping. And he participated in the back-stabbing of the only real progressive in the 2020 primary, which makes me trust him even less.

You finally got to the *real* reason you don’t like him — Buttigieg dropped out of the primary. Don’t you remember that Bernie Bros were calling for him to drop by trending #DropOutPete for weeks. Then when he actually dropped they learned the High Hopes dance, posted it telling him *bye*.

Your statement is wrong on two fronts. First, as a "Bernie Bro", I can tell you that the DropOutPete accusation and the dance clip you posted are complete horseshit.

Then they got all pissy and still are to this very day when he endorsed Biden. Bernie didn’t even try to appeal to his supporters to gain their vote. Knocked a hole in their plan to have a contested convention. Bernie’s best laid plans were faulty — he was outsmarted & his people fell for it.

Get *someone decent* into office, or live with more of the same. Nobody will pass the purity tests a fractured left insists on. A centrist will at least get elected if the Left doesn’t spoil it. Again. The “perfect” is the enemy of actual progress. Or we can keep doing … this.
