Vote for Mayor Pete for POTUS?

Mayor Pete was in charge of transportation for quite a while. Can anybody tell us what he accomplished in that time?
All sorts of things have been falling apart that was within his purview. When he was actually a mayor, they called him "pothole Pete" because he didn't even fix those. Now he's making noises about running for President in 2028. The sad thing is that there are probably some people who would actually vote for him. Too many people vote according to name recognition without paying attention as ro whether the person could even do the job.

Hopefully some lessons are being learned about that and hopefully we can fix some of his fiascos before we have more tragic accidents. For my part, I would be reluctant to fly.

He'd just Blow it

Everything "Pothole Pete" has shown so far convinces me he is simply one more corporate Democrat willing to sell out the middle/working class to his rich, white donors.

From December, 2019:

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...ttigieg-mckinsey-fundraisers-elizabeth-warren

"Buttigieg worked at McKinsey, a global consultancy firm with annual revenues of over $10 billion, from 2007 to 2010, but what exactly he did while there is not really known.

"Being a management consultant isn’t always the most exciting stuff, but given the secretive and sometimes ethically questionable nature of McKinsey’s work — just last week, ProPublica and the New York Times published a report detailing the company’s work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement on detaining and deporting immigrants — many people are pressing Buttigieg for details on what exactly he did when he worked there."

Along with all other Democrats running in the 2020 primaries, Buttigieg dropped out of the race just before the South Carolina primary, clearing the field for Joe Biden to win the nomination.

The fact Pete supported Genocide Joe over Bernie Sanders at that time tells me everything I need to know about him.
 
The fact of the matter is that the United States of America is not going to elect a non-closeted gay guy President. They might elect one that stayed in the closet (read about Nixon and BeBe Rebozo or Jame Buchannan) but not one that's out.

After Hillary Clinton and Kamala's failures it will be a long time before we see a woman President too.

Since ya mentioned Hillary
Hillary Clinton bashes Republican women, says GOP female president would be 'handmaiden to the patriarchy'

At least she will never be POTUS

I don't think America is ready for a breast feeding man who thinks he's a woman to be POTUS !!

America may not be but the point of this thread is to show that the Dems will vote for anybody whose name is familiar. Qualifications have nothing to dado with it.

I used Pete as an example to show that qualifications don't matter if the people are really familiar with the name. It's an unfortunate part of our elections.

I don’t think that’s the case. The vast majority would vote for a gay person if they thought that person was the best qualified. Buttigieg as a conservative with a racist streak is not a good candidate though.

I do not think America is ready for an openly gay POTUS. Too many people are still a bit queasy about queers.

No they wouldn't. They are bigoted against women and un-closeted gays. they wouldn't have voted Obama in if he hadn't appeared to be safe. What was it that Joey called him? "Clean and articulate"? I think it was joey that said that. Could be mistaken. I'm gettin' old you know HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

One of the first things Musk did was to cut staff at DOT and fire a bunch of AT Controllers. The demolition derby at our airports are all on TRUMP/Musk. Being a lumberjack is not a qualification to run a huge government agency. And Musk should have kept his big nose out of government business. Nobody voted for or elected that guy. Duffy should have stuck with log rolling and tree chopping. He has proven to be a real hacker as director of DOT so far. More air and ground collisions in 100 days since this guy took over than in the previous 4 years.

Does your opinion mean that you would be one of those who would actually vote for "pothole" Pete?
