    Will mention here again - People forget Pete served in USN in Afghanistan 2014-2017. Also was an armed driver for a year in and out Kabul transporting commanders avoiding explosives and traps. Speaks 8 languages. Far a cut above everyone who tries to punch him down.

    I watched Pete on Fox News this Sunday, and he was outstanding. He masterfully controlled the narrative, consistently staying on topic and supporting his points with well-substantiated facts. Pete's eloquence as a speaker is impressive, and he adeptly maintained his composure under pressure. Despite the host's numerous interruptions, he navigated the conversation with ease. It was a remarkable and commendable display.

      @walalopez6735 As Secretary, he was one of the principal movers of Biden's infrastructure policies, as those policies would enable the expansion of the American transportation network, which helped make America an energy independent nation. He is able to talk intelligently across the aisle, and because of that, there were numerous Republicans that engaged with President Biden's infrastructure plans. This also helps decrease the carbon footprint that we as a species leave behind us. We are able to negotiate across the board around the globe to reduce our reliance on the vagaries and dominions of other nations because of Secretary Buttigieg.

More so if I were to have had a family. I’ve dedicated decades of service. I feel that I’ve given more of myself, as I can work 14 hour days for years caring for our communities.

I understand how painfull it should be for a brilliant person like Pete to compete in a classroom full of those MTG, Vance and Ted Cruz. I guess it takes him more courage than fighting in Afghanistan.

    I've been a liberal since the time I understood the differences but I have to say I've never been a huge Joe Biden fan. I was a big supporter of Bernie Sanders in the primary before Covid hit, and I felt rather disenfranchised when Joe Biden was declared the official nominee. What Mr. Buttigieg just said about the de-facto most powerful human on the planet voluntarily setting aside that power really struck me. Watching the live stream of President Biden speaking on supreme court reform, I noticed I liked him so much more and didn't know the reason. This interview made me realize why. It takes an incredible human to do what Biden did.

      Let’s be clear: polls said that Democrat voters favorite VP candidates were Gretchen Whitmer and Pete (22%). Whitmer is a popular governor of a swing state with no Palestine-baggage - and pretty much everyone can agree that Pete is probably the Democrats’ most effective communicator. But neither be seriously considered, because of sad and obvious reasons. All while Fox News goes on about how hard it is to be a straight white dude in politics.

      What is the point of having a conversation with somebody that agrees with you? It is just reinforcing your ideas and beliefs and hardly never is insightful. The point of having a conversation with the opposite idea is to change viewpoints and information. The more perspectives you have on a subject, the more knowledge you have.
      Isn't it also a politicians job to speak to people who don't agree with them and try to make them understand your side and get more votes?
