Comments by "Just Me" (@JustMe-ec2ph) on "Full Interview: Pete Buttigieg on "Face the Nation"" video.

@ryanscarola And that has turned to Corp Bundlers for donations! No thanks! Mike on Humanist Report is also gay and Pete is not his first choice so please don't think it's because he's gay why there are people that don't support Pete! Mike has interviewed Pete, too.

That's how a lot of people felt about Obama, too, so impressed by what he said and then what he said he went back on a lot of it. Pete turning to corp bunders does not help him to be taken as as serious candidate for the people! Sorry, he's a no vote from me!
2
@LucianLusilver And so is distrust from candidates with no political record where people can know they would do what they say even if they disagreed with them on issues. Anyways we made our points so moving on and have a nice day!

@jaemanshin I checked out Yang, listened to him on interviews, watched a very good debate between Jared Bernstein a progressive AGAINST UBI and a conservative, some think he's a Libertarian that is for UBI and end results I won't vote for Yang! Pete has turned to Corp Bundlers so he don't have my vote, either.
2
@HerbsBucha I did google on some of Yang's policies. I also listened to him in interviews. I read his website. I watched a really good debate between Jared Bernstein, a progressive AGAINST UBI and a conservative Charles Murray that some think he is a Libertarian that is for UBI and the results for me is a definitely no to Yang!

Pete turned to corp bundlers, Warren said she would take corp donations in the general although some seem to say there is proof she is now but I haven't researched that, and Harris takes corp donations.

@logicalatheist9376 You certainly gave a lot of thought to come up with that. Even though I disagree it was a good post.
1
Too bad Pete turned to corp bundlers because that will keep a lot of progressives from voting for him!
1
A lot of people couldn't believe Obama would be president but it happened and then it happened he went back on some of his campaign promises. Because Pete turned to corp bundlers a lot of progressives won't vote for him!
1
@logicalatheist9376 Well, at least Mike is honest about it much better than the major news media that hides theirs. Many Independent channels are bias to certain candidates but regardless of what you think about Mike he gives clear facts in why he is for/against candidates and no one can think it's because he is against gays!
1
@ryanscarola Most Independent channels do have a bias for one candidate or the other that they at least let you know unlike the major news media that doesn't but most of my sources did not come from Mike! Having said that, does Mike give out information that is not legit? Serious question because while he does tell which candidates is supports I've never known him to give out false information?
1
@ryanscarola Maybe, I didn't make my question clear enough unless you posted this before reading my question. I didn't say Mike is not bias what I said was he hadn't given out false information? But again, the sources I posted about Pete turning to corp donations most of my sources on that did not come from Mike!
1
@ryanscarola I asked you a serious question sheeesh LOL But don't reply to someone if you don't want them replying to you LOL With 260 (exaggerated) candidates running I think they all need a lot of luck LOL
1
If he was so wise he would not had turned to Corp Bundlers! A lot of progressives won't vote for him because of that!
1
@alwaysuseless It's the interviews with Pete to start with he didn't have any clear proposals and defended then why he didn't that turned some people off from the start and then him turning to Corp bundlers a lot of progressives won't vote for him because of that.
1
@alwaysuseless Problem is we have seen too many politicians that took corp money in any form not deliver on what they campaign on! Obama being the best example on that.
1
@alwaysuseless I am not going to get into a lot of what I've read about South Bend except to say USA today rated South Bend one of the top 50 worst cities to live in, at number 40. But yes, it does take the House and Senate and Obama had that to start with! He wouldn't had needed them to let the Bush Tax Cuts expire, either. Add to that the Republican that said Obama gave them 70 percent of what they wanted. I make no excuses for Obama!
1
@neptune9443 You mentioned all of the Fox News Interviews with Yang. I wondered about that, too, but after listening to the debate between Jared Bernstein a progressive AGAINST UBI and Charles Murray, a conservative some think he's Libertarian that is for UBI it makes perfect sense why Fox News would want Yang IF it ended up being UBI the way Charles Murray proposed it in that debate. I won't vote for Yang!
1
@neptune9443 Well, I do hate it when someone takes my comments without asking is that the only reason!? But to answer the question you didn't ask it was listening to the progressive, too, on his reasons that he is not for UBI citing facts on different issues that you could listen to without my naming all the reasons I won't vote for Yang. I only mentioned one of them! But most definitely eliminating social programs to get UBI would end up hurting poor people more than if they got UBI. So, since you hung up on my one comment on the conservative which was him eliminating all social programs to get UBI that is something you would like? Since you mentioned my disliking it. I was commenting on why I think Fox News would be for UBI, since you mentioned that, not giving all of my reasons I am not for it.
1
@neptune9443 Look I've listened to Yang in interviews (have the links), read his website, and listened to debates and other creditable information that has BOTH the pros and cons in it so it's not like I am just posting the cons! You have no way of knowing that UBI would pass without eliminating social programs! I also know that Yang has changed his positions several times so no one can know for sure what version if any would get passed. If you want to go with just the pros fine but don't think everyone else will!!
1
@LucianLusilver That can be good or bad. Take for an example Trump was no politician so a lot of people just blindly believed him that he would do what he says! There was no political record for anyone to judge if Trump would do anything he campaigned on. In that respect it's the same with Yang has no political record so no one can know if he would do anything he says. Some people think he is a Libertarian. After listening to the UBI debate between the progressive, Jared Bernstein, AGAINST UBI and the conservative, that some believe to be a Libertarian that is for UBI, I agree with people that think Yang is a Libertarian.
1
@LucianLusilver I've done a lot of research but don't have time to compare policies such as was Nixon's proposed UBI for everyone including the wealthy? Was it on top of all the existing social programs? After listening to the debate I mentioned that was the Conservative's plan to eliminate existing social programs. There is no way UBI would have Republican support for both UBI and existing social programs that even the progressive against UBI mentioned hardly anyone would be for that in the room listening to the debate because that would be too costly. Eliminating social programs to be replaced with UBI would be more harmful to the poor than beneficial! For every thousand dollars given to the wealthy that don't need it that's a thousand dollars less for the poor that does need it. Some would say Yang isn't proposing that to eliminate them. In the beginning he mentioned counting on some of the funding from people that would opt out of social programs which is pure speculation that anyone would opt out even if you think they would. He has changed his positions so many times no one can know for sure how he would end up doing it. For people that trust him, fine, but I don't! Too risky for more reasons than one!
1
@jltrack Pete has turned to corp bundlers so I won't vote for him and have checked out Yang and I won't vote for him, either.
1
@mphillips7022 That is the way a lot of people think anyone but Trump and I have reminded people of that when they are critical of candidates that would support the Dem nominee or voters that won't vote for the nominee how the majority of voters feel BUT the bottom line is you can't dictate to people what they should think or what their principles should be. There are good arguments on both sides voting for the nominee or voting 3rd party. As for me I won't vote for a corp Dem or someone that doesn't have a political record to prove they will do what they say on the issues I care most about. I don't vote out of fear and I do vote my conscience not someone else's.
1
Bernie wants fair trade deals and has laid that out how to accomplish that. We need to invest in our country first not others! But aside from that Pete turning to Corp bundlers a lot of progressives won't vote for him because of that.

@Lildizzle420 If you call being for everyone's rights including gays decades before the rest of the country came on board a failure because he couldn't get them passed decades sooner you are entitled to that opinion. The majority of this country was also not on board with Medicare for all until recent years and Bernie is one of the main reasons attention is brought to that now. If you also think that's a failure then you are entitled to that opinion, too. My point being just because Bernie couldn't get his policies passed when the majority of people were not on board with it doesn't make him a failure IMO. But he has had accomplishments starting with being the Amendment King which is just as important as writing a bill if it is to pass! He has had accomplishments since then, too! I can list some of them if you want? No one should vote for Bernie or any other candidate if they don't agree with them on issues! As for me I don't vote for someone that is taking corp donations or turned to corp bundlers for donations! In addition to that they have to have a voting record that lets me know they are for the same issues I am for and that they will do what they say they will. That's my principles to pick who I vote for and that's fine for me.
1
@Lildizzle420 LOL Wow, what other Dems have pushed Medicare for all for "years", please tell me? Not saying there isn't any but I sure don't know of any others and I definitely remember when Obama pushed the Grand Bargain with social security cuts that most Dems were also pushing Bernie was one of the few speaking out against that bringing awareness to that. If you don't think it's accomplishments to get bills passed then you obviously don't care about it. No worries we all have our opinions. By the way, what credit for the entire Dem party? Other than the stop the wars in Yemen Act that Bernie help sponsor I haven't seen them pass anything for the middle class and poor but do tell me what I missed? I know Bernie doesn't get credit for the war in Iraq or for the Patriot Act that has taken some of our freedoms away that politicians in both parties voted for while Bernie voted against it. So I am glad he doesn't get any credit for some of the bad policies that has been passed that he voted against!
1
@Lildizzle420 LOL Well, I go by voting issues with voting records to back them up regardless of the party title. But having said that I'm not a Dem, either LOL i am a Independent but Bernie caucus with Dems so he has every right to run in the Dem party. He sure would not get anywhere running as a 3rd party candidate. I know that's up for debate but I will leave it to others to debate that one. I do know he won't do a Nader or anything to risk Trump winning. You do know in the general you can vote either way and there has been Republicans voting for the Dem and Dems voting for Republicans. I personally know Republicans that will vote for Bernie. Others say they know Republicans that will vote for Tulsi. I'm talking about in the general if they win the primary. I've heard Dems say to strengthen Obama care, make changes, but nope, haven't heard anyone else until recent years being for Medicare for all. Even Obama went back on his campaign promise for having the public option.
1
@Lildizzle420 Agree to disagree. Have a good day!
1
Sorry, Pete does not have my vote! He shouldn't had turned to Corp Bundlers so he won't have a lot of other progressive votes, either!
1
And he (Pete) has turned to Corp Bundlers which will keep a lot of progressives from voting for him regardless of how polite he is in interviews.

@horsepanther PETE "His sudden rise to stardom has attracted some big time campaign bundlers, including hedge fund managers and banking lobbyists – the same ones who threw their weight behind Obama and Clinton.He also didn’t say he wasn’t going to take banking industry money and unfortunately some of these bundlers have either served as lobbyists for major banks or they themselves are actually hedge fund managers and that’s a very real problem for mayor Pete. Actually I take that back. That’s actually not a problem at all for mayor Pete. It’s a problem for the people who are going to be voting because now they have to look at this guy who’s become a rising star. He’s got some good positions on some policies. He is not quite there yet on medicare for all and that is concerning. But taking money from these Wall Street types, from the hedge fund managers, from people who lobbied for Goldman Sachs, that’s a nonstarter for me. It’s a nonstarter for a lot of progressive’s. It’s a nonstarter for anyone who has had to deal with any of the ramifications from the 20 2007 2008 financial crash and all of the financial scams being run by Wall Street banks during that time." https://trofire.com/2019/04/19/pete-buttigieg-turns-to-corporate-bundlers-to-raise-cash/ "In February, Pete Buttigieg stepped into the Manhattan office of the Wall Street Veteran Charles Myers to talk politics over Deli Sandwiches" 2020 Democrats "Cozy Up" To Wall Street https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3cjmWpYsMM Pete Buttigieg is No Progressive, But Cable News Want You to Believe Otherwise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE-4GxZvbXI&t=190s Pete Buttigieg Turns To Corporate Bundlers To Raise Cash Rising Democratic star Pete Buttigieg enlists Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton fundraisers to build his 2020 campaign war chest https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/17/pete-buttigieg-enlists-barack-obama-hillary-clinton-fundraisers-for-2020-campaign.html Buttigieg EXPOSED As A Centrist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XBan-nWNDg
