Mayor Pete just honed in on a major theme of the campaign: Bernie is an authoritarian populist, like Trump. And many Democrats off Twitter are deeply uncomfortable with that.
I did NOT have Pete Buttigieg going after Bernie Sanders so harshly today. Wow. You can't always predict politics, folks!

Why are they uncomfortable with it? I"m just this side of chortle-gloating. (But yeah, I'm on twitter.)

Chag Pesach. I consider Mayor Pete to be a bracket buster, and he is not my top choice (by far). But I do think he has caught on to something here. Authoritarianism is antithetical to liberal democracy. Bernie's supporters would gladly dienfranchise voters if it means M4A, etc.
-
Yeah, but you said Dems are uncomfortable with it - most real Dems I know recognize that BS is not that different from Trump. We definitely agree here!
-
And thank you for the Pesach greetings, back at you or Happy Easter or whatever celebration you may or may not be having!

That is truth. Bernie voters share some blame.
-
He also spoke with great empathy about those voters and why the might have wanted to blow up the system but, of course, no one heard that part.
-
Perhaps Bernie did talk w/ empathy, but talking about blowing up the system, got us Trump. Obama and Democrats died on the sword of healthcare for all Americans, blowing that up is beyond selfish & ignorant. Blowing up equality & lawfulness is dangerous and crazy. I could go on.

He's taking huge chunks of Sanders' youth support. Even as 26% of Beers say they'd pick Trump over Elizabeth Warren - the Democratic candidate closest to Sanders policy-wise. Proving again that it's not about policy but penises for many Sanders backers.https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldurkheimer/2019/04/17/5-weird-items-in-the-new-bernie-buttigieg-poll/#1c65a8fd7ddd …

Kudos to Mayor Pete!
@PeteButtigieg I think this young mayor has good political instincts and is likely well thought out. He doesn't want the millennial caught in the Bernie trap of illusion.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Go get em Pete!!!!!!!!!!! Expose Sanders flaws as was never done in 2016. Bernie was operating in '16 on a pure illusion supplied by massive support from IRA (Internet Russian Assoc.) All their venom was aimed solely at HRC because it was HILLARY, not Bernie that Russia feared.

Let me tell you something Bernie had it too easy in 2016, Hillary never attacked him. He is being attacked and vetted now and I am all here for it
