Pete Buttigieg held a rally in Rock Hill today. He actually had a real crowd. About 3x that of Beh Toe.



Democrats ignore him at their own risk.

What's that supposed to mean?
If Pete drew a large crowd, how's he being ignored?
And what's the risk you mentioned?

He used the term "unique contributions", which is different than separate donors.

Anyway, the guy is clearly one of the most pro-Trump corrupt Wall Street candidates out there, his voting record in Congress and courting of big money donors just proves it.

I was curious enough to look up his astrological placements, and with that discovery, no way would I vote for this "Venusian".

Sun/Mercury in Libra, Moon in luxury-loving Taurus (he married a rich woman), Mars in Virgo and, no surprise!, Venus in I-Love-Being-In-The-Spotlight, I-Love-A-Big-Audience, I-Would-Love-To-Be-A-Dictator Leo.

Leo gives any candidate Star Power and it's unfortunate that voters succumb to the candidate with Star-Power. Trump, Obama, GW Bush, Clinton (Both of them) all have some strong Leo (Star Power) in their charts. Will voters ever kick that habit?

This means he should get a lot of GOP voters in the general election since he's not a hard left Democrat. Someone that works with Ds and Rs is refreshing.

Wall Street isn't our enemy. I don't see where he's corrupt. That's just an opinion from someone that supports one of his competitors.... just plain old campaign mud slinging.

No, Trump voters vote for Trump. Not a republican light candidate. This has been proven again and again. He has the same big money donors as republicans, so obviously he's obeying his masters and work with republicans to get things done for the big donors. But are you a big money donor? Why do you support this?

There is nothing "hard left" about standing up for workers and refusing bribe money from the ruling donor class. There is also nothing "moderate" about doing the bidding of the billionaire class at the expense of ordinary Americans. These silly labels are just propaganda.

You think the solution is to nominate a republican light candidate to attract "moderates"?

Recent polls show 72% of the people want to expand SS, 58% want a $15 minimum wage, 60% support tuition free college. These are moderate positions. Whats radical is to do the bidding of a tiny super rich minority.

What do the GOP support? Tax breaks for the ultra rich, massive increases in the military budget and gifts to big pharma and Wall Street, all at the expense of ordinary Americans. And Beto is right there with his votes backing that agenda.

I'm waiting for him to put on white platform shoes and dance to "Tequila" on the tabletop. Hey, it earned Pee Wee Herman a following.

Wait. That's what Obama did. Protected the Banksters, guaranteed their bonuses, gave the finance industry huge tax breaks, Obamacare protected the Insurance industry and Drug companies, and he started 3 wars of choice and was at war longer than any President in US History. Big big spending on the military to support it. He bailed big business and gave a trillion to others.



Did you have your head stuck in the sand while that was going on?


So you just indicted the Democrats with your own words. I'm sure you won't admit it though
