Buttigieg is one of the best politicians America has right now.

Him growing a beard is a completely different thing from known bitch Ted Cruz growing one.

And a politician he is, willing to be bought in exchange for political capital.

Stealing from my comment in a different thread:

I’m still upset with Buttigieg for his pre-Super-Tuesday drop out. He joined the establishment to rally against Sanders. In doing so, he became part of what’s wrong with the party.

While I don’t think poorly of him as a person per se, he is also just another politician.

In contrast, I see folks like Sanders and AOC as real agents of change.

Are you aware that an entire nation of people other than you exist and that many of them are not down with candidates as progressive as Sanders and AOC?

Are you going to live the rest of your life crying about Sanders being cheated, or are you going to accept that there simply weren't enough Americans out there comfortable with his kind of progressive stances to make him president?

Chill out. Going into attack mode doesn’t make your assertion carry more weight.
