Title: Pete Buttigieg Can’t Believe How ‘Odd’ J.D. Vance Turned Out to Be
Post by: wvit1001 on 07 30, 24, 01:02:42:PM
“There is a temptation to have our message be entirely about Donald Trump, because we’re so disturbed by what his return would mean,” Buttigieg said. “And maybe a little more also about J.D. Vance, because of how odd he’s turned out to be.”

He explained to Jon Stewart, “He just systematically insulted so many people. It’s not just the kind of things he said, but the policy ideas behind them. Like, he has this idea that you should get extra votes if you have kids… He suggested that you should have extra votes if you’re a parent.”

“He doesn’t just say that being a parent gives you an important role as a citizen, which I agree with because it gives you a unique perspective on the future; it’s that not being a parent makes you less,” Buttigieg said.

“Oh, I think that’s absolutely how they feel,” Stewart said.

“He said people who don’t have children, this is a quote, ‘have no physical commitment to the future of this country,’” Buttigieg explained. “When I was deployed to Afghanistan, I didn’t have kids back then, but I will tell you: especially when there was a rocket attack going on, my commitment to this country felt pretty physical.”

“Can I tell you something?” Stewart said. “This is why people love seeing you go on their shows. Because that framing is perfect. It points to that idea that, ‘Who are you to tell what’s in someone else’s heart about what they feel about the future or what they feel about this country?’ And the sacrifices that you made, as you said, without having had children, were tremendous.”

Stewart also brought up the GOP’s branding of itself as a friend to the working class, asking Buttigieg, “What is this economic populism based on?”

“Well, it’s not based on policy,” Buttigieg replied. “It’s just body language. It’s this idea that if you just act like you are populist, that counts.”

The secretary explained further: “Look, I’m under no illusions that elections are just a policy exercise… But if your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against things like paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on stage doesn’t make you a friend of the working class.”

That's not real hypocritical coming from a man who took paternity leave with his HUSBAND for two months while our railcars were rolling over causing toxic spills or massive fires!

Those weren't "our" railcars lacky.   Those were Norfolk Southern railcars and Norfolk Southern paid for the and oversaw the cleanup.

In America. Our rails, our tracks, our citizens affected, and you act like this happened in Australia fer crissakes!

In your narrow vision, has there ever been any democrat that has fucked up, or are they exempt from blame, responsibility and accountability?

Seems as though that's your view.

The EPA was there to montor the clean up and make sure all the rules were followed but the federal government wasn't responsible for the spill or the clean up lacky.   Norfolk Southern was the responsible party and they volutarily conducted the clean up. 

Why would you expect the federal govenment to pay for or be responsible for any of this?

Right.  Vance is the odd one.  Not Bootyjudge.  Not the guy who takes 3 months off for maternity leave despite not having a uterus.  Not the guy who says highways are racist.

Not the guy who let cargo ships pile up outside L.A.
Not the guy who wants to hire air traffic controllers based on skin color.
Not the guy who let airports clog up with delays.
Not the guy who oversaw all the Boeing safety failures.

That would be a job for fire departments and hazmat teams. If he would have gone there, the losers would be screeching about photo ops.

Wrong again, Dan.  (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/evil.gif)

- Buttigieg was the guy who fixed that tRump Problem.
Not the guy who wants to hire air traffic controllers based on skin color. - Now you are making shit up again.
Not the guy who let airports clog up with delays. - Buttigieg was the guy who fixed that tRump Problem.
Not the guy who oversaw all the Boeing safety failures. - No that's another tRump problem, because he repealed all the regulations, remember?
