Pete for VP. Frankly he should be POTUS
- Thread starter Jimmy McGill
- Start date
Pete’s entrance song at the DNC should be the second verse of Dire Straits’ Money for Nothing. Throw that gayness right at MAGA.
Sadly America as a nation is not there yet. I would absolutely.. But church says it's wrong and people can't separate those biases.
Black woman POTUS and gay man VPOTUS is not progressive enough for some people? Do these folks want a trans with Chinese heritage who performs abortions on the ticket?
Biden IS a focused and disciplined leader; much more so than his predecessor in the White House, despite any decline he has had.
I really like Pete, and I would vote for him over anyone that ran in 20 and 24, but that is the truth. Is what it is.
Funny thing is that Mayor Pete could score more female azz, if he were into that, than all the incel alpha MAGA snowflakes on here who relentlessly hate on him due to his sexual orientation, combined
Has Pete done a particularly good job as transportation secretary even? As I recall he took several months off work during a supply chain crisis to adopt a couple of kids (boys of course), had nobody covering for him while he was on leave, and when he came back to scrutiny his response was simply to call roads and bridges racist. I'm not sure it's possible to be worse at your job to be honest. Transportation Secretary was a bigger job than he was ready for imo but if you guys wanna run him on the ticket with Kamala then more power to you.
Nah. Lotsa confidence in your own sexuality. Repubs should try it some time.
Obviously I am not on the same page as he is politically, and I'm still of the view that he's a little unripe (mayor of south bend and DoT secretary, which is really just a position to allow a potential future star to make friends by distributing money). But he is refreshingly adult compared to almost anyone else out there.
if the concept that roads and bridges (interstates, in particular) were planned, designed, and constructed in a way that disproportionately impacted minority and low-income communities is beyond your comprehension, you should stop making comments about transportation policy
environmental justice requirements have been in place since the early 1990s...this is not a new concept
I’d say his work on improvements in the supply chain in the US, the improvements to roads and bridges enabled by the infrastructure act, and his focus on rights for air passengers were all very good things. If I had some complaints, I wish he’d focus more on safety and management of air travel. I also think he (like most before him) have not put enough energy towards rail.
There’s a reasonable balanced response for you since you’re likely not able to articulate anything because all you see is a D after his name and can’t get over where he puts his peen.
Only the modern dem platform could be on the midst of a supply chain crisis and decide their primary mission is addressing racist bridges lol priorities 😂🤣 good job guys.
I will agree that I think he did a pretty good job going after the airline industry during some of their hiccups to protect customers. As far as air safety goes, I think the best course of action is to ban DEI in the airline industry (and everything else too, but especially the airline industry). I don't see the left pushing that in general tbh
its not the primary mission
also, if you think the supply chain issue is going to be addressed in the short term by roads and bridges - again - you should stop making comments transportation policy
you have no idea what you're talking about here...it's ok you don't need to pretend to be an expert on everything
The main problem with management in our aviation industry that I'd like to see tackled has nothing to do with DEI and everything to do with outdated core technology. If you ever had a chance to see under the covers what has been done to stitch together the frankenstein monster that is the backbone of flight and passenger management, you'd forget your DEI boogeyman in a blink of an eye. Shit, this ugly baby was born before DEI was even a thing and it's only grown uglier with each passing year.
Improving safety IMHO is more a money issue than anything (lack of oversight, bad policies, lack of personnel, lack of training, squeezing every thing, every minute, and every one for every last penny, etc.). Again, this all far predates DEI.
You're short sighted an ill informed if you think DEI is the problem. Don't worry, you've got millions of Americans with you.
Edit to add: I say this all as a person who has stated numerous times that corporate DEI is silly and has become a grift. I'm just smart enough to not blame everything on it.

Just curious…what do you think are the major positives of Gavin Newsom?
The scariest thing to contemplate is whether Vance is a better choice than Trump. Which one is at the very, very bottom of the scum barrel?
I don't think DEI is the only problem that exists but a major one that needs addressing.
I think you're silly, overblowing the impact, and susceptible to propaganda.
There. Now we know where we stand and can go our separate ways.
