Real Talk LONG Rage Thread:
I try very hard to be ROTR compliant. But sometimes, you just have to call some shit out. Especially when there is so much at stake. Yes, I'm #TeamPete. But, I'm somewhat new to giving a damn about politics & my views are raw. And maybe we need raw.

Let's talk about the billionaires. Steyer and Bloomie. GIVE ME A GODDAMN BREAK. Neither one of them are effectual in any way except monetarily. Neither can debate worth a damn. Bloomie can barely grasp the english language - in fact, he's a TRUMP CLONE. Steyer is a bump on a log.
Sure, if you want a fucking TRUMP CLONE or a wallflower to run this country because they BOUGHT THE AMERICAN PRESIDENCY, keep supporting them. ALSO let's not forget that BLOOMIE is a goddamn RACIST BIGOT. He's a liar. HE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN TRUMP. Plenty of receipts out there.
Listen, Pete has my vote. Thats not gna change bc imo he’s the most strategically sound choice to beat Trump, he can help unify us & he has systemic plans to uplift vulnerable communities and get us results. He has bold ideas, skill, heart, exp of being an other & I trust him. 1/
I started to take Pete seriously when I saw a Black woman in South Bend vouch for him and say it was his housing program that helped her pay closing costs on her first home, she wouldnt hv become a homeowner w/o her mayor’s help. That story was powerful! As a Blk woman & first 2/
time homeowner myself, her story spoke to me. I started follown her & her sister, & learned abt work Pete did w/comms of color in SB (comm policing, civilian oversight, youth programs, justice task force) to earn trust & revive his dying city n2 a place they are proud of again 3/
.@GloriaBorger I’m watching @CNN’s panel on delay and was quite shocked just now to hear you assert that @PeteButtigieg has no plans! Several of the policies on his website are the most sweeping & comprehensive in the field. Please see this chat I just had with @JenGranholm! 🙏
Misconceptions also persist about @PeteButtigieg’s record in S. Bend. It’s not true that he hasn’t been dealing well with race issues. His efforts have been extensive & successful, despite being hindered by red state laws & policies. A list with footnotes:

The conflict-oriented national reporting on the recent shooting in South Bend has contributed to the ongoing frustration many Black South Bend residents feel about how Mayor Pete is being portrayed.
