Welp, I suppose he couldn’t come up with an answer to that very relevant question.

I’m shocked 🫢

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 20h

Who is the most inspirational…

AND

Accomplished…

…leftist that is ready to take the reins of leading the country?

Who has proven leadership ability in passing legislation and/or running governmental entities?

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 1d

Zero evidence presented is absolutely inadequate to prove your point, so therefore it must be assumed that you are….

Lying.

Those reading this discussion can make the judgement as to your ability to win the debate.

LOL…you’ve got *nothing* so you resort to the ole sea lioning attack, eh?

How pathetic.

Buttigieg has never advocated that transgender youth girls should not play youth sports.

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 1d

Where has Buttigieg *ever* suggested that transgender youth should *not* participate in sports.

Put your documentation here 👇🏼

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 1d

School counselors, coaches, principals should be trained to handle those questions. State sports orgs and leagues should set parameters.

What in god’s name would you want politicians to get involved in those issues?

You want Trumpists to make those decisions….lord help us!

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 1d

Bullshit.

You think trans girls competing in school sports should *not* concern parents of athletic cis girls? That they should have zero questions that can and should be addressed with factual information…compassionately?

You prefer politicians handle those local/personal issues.

Explain why you think this is a sinister statement?

The run for the DNC chair did elevate him among those who are politically connected, but it was his audacity to make a run for the Democratic nomination in 2020 that put his name in front of the general public.

Four weeks ago, Pete Buttigieg went back to his home state to rally opposition to this bill.

I’m *very* sure you can provide documentation of that ridiculous claim that Buttigieg “threatened to imprison all the striking rail workers”.

Because if you can’t or won’t then…

You’re lying.

Put that evidence right here 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 in a reply.

☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼

This is correct.

From Open Secrets — where TrackAIPAC gets its information.

Note: the $50 came from individuals not from the AIPAC organization.

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 3d

An example of selective outrage? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 3d

Oh.

PolReader @polreader.bsky.social · 3d

That meme is running on 2019 software since the $50 donated by AIPAC happened during his presidential run that ended March 1, 2020.

That $50 was contributed by an “individual/s” employed by AIPAC.

What is your documentation for what actually happened?

Buttigieg has actively been advocating SCOTUS reform since before he announced his candidacy for POTUS in 2019.

We’ll see what happens. 😉
