Good evening. "Pete Buttigieg” was a 38 year sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

My union healthcare, and thousands like me in show business, goes away if I don't make a certain minimum amount of $$ each year. It's stressful and quite frankly, a heinous way to exist.

You don't speak for me, Pete. I want Medicare 4 All. https://t.co/Nl3hGPpgSM
If I thought everyone else was stupid, I would make this exact argument. I'm in a union. Not having to rely on a company to provide healthcare would've increased our bargaining power significantly to get tons of other things. Pete obviously knows this, but he thinks you don't https://t.co/pnsFiLQyJT

WATCH: Pete Buttigieg refers to dark money as “black money” in a room full of black people, catches himself, gets called on it, and manages to swiftly make things worse.

This is like one of the most basic things you learn when learning a language.
I always thought his language skills were a scam.

“Buttigieg’s lengthy roster of endorsements is loaded with former intelligence operatives, national security hardliners, regime-change specialists, and vulture capitalists” https://t.co/T4zsORDZks a good reminder

Pete Buttigieg is more nihilist than the entire U.K. punk movement ever was.

I'm no Buttigieg fan, but can we at least put aside the stupid conspiracy theory that Buttigieg partisans sabotaged the app to prevent the results from getting out?

And maybe not listen again to anyone who was promoting it?

Pete Buttigieg is this election’s poster child for “progressive neoliberalism” — offering up platitudes about diversity while leaving untouched the very structures that oppress people. It’s time we left this kind of politics in the past. https://t.co/yvUiyYiBFO

He's a hollow caricature of the meritocratic high-achiever. Rejecting Buttigieg is a way of rejecting the notion that going to an Ivy League school and subjugating your every human instinct to your own professional ambitions is innately good or admirable

what millennials aspire to more than anything else is the construction of a life/identity rooted in one's authentic passions and values; Pete is the antithesis of that as a high-IQ husk who sycophantically shaped himself into the creature most craved by systems of power & capital

Why are high-ranking intelligence veterans backing Buttigieg?
I make the case that Pete is an empty vessel, concerned only with his own career.
This makes him ideal for those seeking to prop up existing power structures.https://t.co/PDO0RLrffm
the first 45 seconds of this clip are absolutely devastating for Pete https://t.co/5ypFQoJ1Ab

Frankly it’s infuriating that Mandy Moore is voting for Buttigieg. Do you know how badly I want to be excited for her new album? But no, she won’t let me be happy. Selfish
— Chodie Foster (@tubbbutter) January 15, 2020
Maybe worse than no response is the terrible responses from candidates like Buttigieg and Warren. “I agree Suleimani needed to be killed but the way Trump went about it is wrong” does nothing but make you look like a pussy-footed bureaucrat while endorsing the GOP’s warmongering https://t.co/Zc3pasY0O9

- Pete Buttigieg has no experience in implementing domestic policy.
- Pete Buttigieg is a mayor and worked for a lobbying firm.
Anyone who believes this qualifies him for the highest office in the world need to rethink.
No ones mentions it but buttigieg’s voice sounds exactly like christian bale in american psycho its uncanny

Pete Buttigieg has zero personality. He is smug and overconfident for no reason. He is pretentious and condescending. His arrogance is annoying. He is absolutely unfit to lead. He needs to drop out.

Notable that Bloomberg, a former a Republican who considered mounting a third party run if Sanders got the 2016 nomination, has run no ads against Medicare-for-all. Bennet and Buttigieg, Democrats their whole careers, have. https://t.co/ZRFALiPEtr

When he loses the nomination he'll have little wealth and no job.
She'll still be a powerful senator with a national profile and $12 million.

Buttigieg is the epitome of the neoliberal professional managerial class. Every single job is about building the resume to get to the next rung on the ladder; actual responsibilities to those around him are to be met only insofar as they can build the brand. https://t.co/o0XGGm46Zc
