Pretty much no-one had heard of the guy until 2 months ago, other than inside politicos. Not surprised he had to go after the major media and earliest states. As the campaign progresses, peoples' attachments to early favorites can loosen and more ears will open. Now's the time.

Between this and Stefan saying they're working on written policy finally I am having a good Friday

Yep! Though most Dem voters do not choose their candidate based primarily on policy ideas. Of course, TV pundits and twitter-politicos are exceptions to this, and at some point you need to acknowledge them. Now that he has name awareness, he can start refining policy positions.

Personally, since all Dems will agree on 80% of policy, his positions are important but only to the tune of 20% of my calculus for getting my vote. The other 80% are related to priorities, ability to broadly unify, comms & negotiation skills, & mastery of nuance & game theory.

Agreed, although I'll say that his specific stance on college tuition is unique (as far as I can tell) and sets him apart for me. Same with health care - similar to Bernie's plan but less abrupt. The rest yeah nuance and priorities/messaging will make the difference

Nuance means a lot to me its the anti pander

does he have even a single policy that would address issues in the black community? Nothing but empty platitudes from this guy

Yes. It's a 5 issue focus: education, justice, healthcare, housing & entrepeneurship. I believe Al Sharpton interviewed him for NAN and is posting the interviews.

that is a list of issues. thats not policies. Its the same thing Bernie does. Stating problems but not offering solutions. We are demanding more this time Compare with Warren or Kamala who have laid out actionable steps and legislation. Pete doesn't measure up

Or there's just some plain bad faith complaining out there.

Exactly. It’s really starting to seem like some combination of willful ignorance, parroting an inane take, and arbitrary expectations. Listen to just one of Pete’s podcast visits and you can hear a vision, a set of concrete values, and plans for solutions to address them.

He has no shot in SC.

Lots of time left, can easily get to top 3 there

The AA vote may split between Biden / Harris/ Booker But Pete could make some inroads The SC outreach is important as AA vote is an important & historic voting block for Ds nationwide

I find it quite amusing that these white candidates only hope to win the nom is a split of AA vote between Kamala and Cory

@PeteButtigieg is people’s ideal of a church boy. They will love him once he goes there.

Pete is not winning anything in fact the love affair he has with media is over since Biden is in. Give it a week media will forget forget Pete exists.
