So a Harvard Law Professor isn't elite? I don't know about you, but I would like my leaders to be highly intellectual, rational, and thoughtful. If that's elite, then fine.

I wouldn’t mind Gritty’s rendition of this song...

There's a big difference between not wanting kids at a specific "adult" place for whatever reason and not wanting to listen to a crying kid for 10+ minutes during a movie.

In public yes, at a show where people paid money for, no. Most reasonable parents would be self-aware enough to take their child outside if they were causing a disruption. If they don't and have the attitude of "well I'm as entitled to this experience as everyone else", fuck them.

What a beautiful, understated episode leading up to the big battle. Really enjoyed the dialogue, the banter, the jokes, and the heartfelt moments. It was like a goodbye episode to the characters we've grown to love.

I've already accepted nothing is going to happen long time ago, but the utter bullshit, hypocrisy, and lengths the Republicans go to cover up for this guy never ceases to amaze.

Umm, money is the ONLY thing Trump cares about. Just take his Comedy Central Roast, the only topic Trump deemed off-limits was joking about how his wealth isn't as much as he claims. Wanting to fuck his daughter, all good!

The subsequent non-stop shitshow is what is breaking people with politicians showing their true colors.

Hey, what happened to “color-coded”, this all black is not fun at all!

Well that doesn't sound nearly as good as the green one, but I'll give it a shot.

Err...

I'm guessing they went through tubs and tubs of this...

Why do you age about 20 years when you take off your hat?

His speech starts at 1:27:00.

Mentions himself once in 8 sentences = "babbling about himself", cool logic.

Ok, he flat out said he’s a capitalist, but when it threatens democracy, democracy needs to win out.

Again, labels are what your expectations are. The issue isn’t as black and white as you make it out to be. Certainly pushing to make education much more affordable and student loans much more manageable isn’t “non-progressive”. It’s just not what your expectations are. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/04/05/pete-buttigieg-argues-against-free-college-this-is-why-progressives-cant-agree-about-subsidizing-tuition/?utm_term=.6848b9ef534b Besides, I thought you were taking about being pro-corporate...

Labels are what you make of them, and what your expectations are of that said label. You can be progressive in many areas and maybe less progressive in others, but still call yourself a progressive. Is Bernie not a “progressive” and a hypocrite for being a millionaire and making money from corporate America publishing his books? OMG, why didn’t he donate all the proceeds to charity, he clearly doesn’t care about the needy janitors or that homeless guy he walked past that one time... You can pretty much make any argument if you bias it in a certain angle and pick and choose. This article even attacks him for being too similar to the likes of Sanders and Warren. https://fee.org/articles/what-should-we-make-of-peter-buttigieg-s-democratic-capitalism/#disqus_thread

This is total B.S., you can't rent an apartment in Irvine for a mother and child for $1600 a month...

Ok, he left McKinsey 9 years ago after only being there 3 years to work in local government and serve in the military. It’s not like he was some decades-long McKinsey executive. So what picture are you trying to paint?

You're comparing Blackwater to McKinsey? Good god. McKinsey is one of the top places to progress in your career regardless of what you do afterwards and attracts the top talent out of colleges. Attacking him solely for working there as "an elite" is stupid. How about addressing that he left all of that to eventually serve in Afghanistan and then returned to his downtrodden hometown to become mayor with a salary much lower than what McKinsey pays their consultants.

McKinsey consultants work in all different industries and with many different companies. She states Buttigieg is in the "Energy and and Economic Development" group. Yet she criticizes him for working at McKinsey and not knowing about the company's project with Purdue Pharma. Then she brings up McKinsey's relationship with Saudi Arabia. Basically she's just conflating unethical things McKinsey has done to his policies because he worked there. Other than that, just regurgitating that article from Nathan Robinson. It is basically a one-sided argument biased to show that he isn't progressive enough.

That was not a great break down at all. Ana just runs her purity progressive test on all candidates not named Bernie.

“Here’s the truth. For far too long we have lived with the discomfort of being a second-class citizen and, frankly, I’m tired of it, and every single Muslim in this country should be tired of it. CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties. So you can’t just say that today someone is looking at me strange and that I am trying to make myself look pleasant. You have to say that this person is looking at me strange, I am not comfortable with it, and I am going to talk to them and ask them why. Because that is the right you have.”
