I thought it was pretty clear from the outset he was a centrist, or at least "centrist-adjacent", lol! I think what most people are wondering is, who can beat Trump. Where people are on the spectrum is probably secondary to that. Personally, I'm not sure who I like yet.
Watch Pete Buttgieg’s husband give away their contempt for the left in this CBS interview: “This is like politics...you think you’re doing a great job then someone comes from the left and interrupts everything.” At his core, Buttgieg is a centrist, and that’s the tea, sis.pic.twitter.com/Ouge6DZHJq

Buttigieg actually seems intent on obscuring the fact that he’s a centrist—when asked about what his actual policy beliefs are, he always evades the question or the “labels.” When it comes to Mayor Pete, nothing is pretty clear...
-
I don't think it's that hard to read between the lines but he did say in one interview the policy page on his website will be expanded within two weeks, so about a week from now. That should shed a little light.

It’s not hard to read between the lines—that’s what my tweet is doing lol

Didn’t Hillary also obscure her centrist-ness until after the nomination?
-
She definitely started running right after the nom, but I’d say Hillary is a bit different because she had a history in the public eye long before 2016. Buttigieg, on the other hand, is new and calls himself a progressive, so it may not be as clear to some that he’s a centrist.

The full clip doesn’t change the fact that it exposes them as centrists. Pete’s addition of “...and the right” only emphasizes the point that he’s a centrist, including his contempt for the left-wing of the Dem party.

If thinking “doing a great job” until you’re interrupted by people on the left (or the right) is “politics” doesn’t make you a centrist, I don’t know what does. And even if it’s in jest, it’s still telling.

Agree 100% and good catch.

1) the dog literally came from his left. 2) this cuts out Pete's immediate quip about the right immediately after this.

1) none of that changes the point that it gives away a centrist conception of politics

Yea, we better keep being fucked from someone coming from the right, am I correct Mayor ?
-
To be fair, in the full clip Pete added “...and the right” after his husband said that, yet the point that they’re centrists stands.
-
All right, I didn't hear it. But they do always start with the left. ..
