Does DU being flooded with propaganda ring no bells with those reading these posts? Scarborough and the Koch alliance are pulling together. Buttigieg is a very good and admirable man, but that is NOT why they're pushing him at the Democratic electorate.
It's about undermining and diffusing enthusiasm for those candidates who can become our nominee. Scarborough thinks Buttigieg is the new Obama. Uhuh. Last week it was Beto. Personally, I think Kamala Harris is the new Obama. But both Beto and Kamala frighten the right. Enter Mayor B.
Over the next year and more, most candidates will drop out, Sanders will refuse to drop out, and we'll consolidate behind a few genuine contenders. And Mayor Buttigieg will hopefully greatly strengthen his support in his state and create national name recognition.
But right now it's just painful watching people being lead around by right-wing manipulators without understanding what's happening.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
