The black democrat at home:

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

he's gonna take his Obama impersonation to the next level.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If he did blackface at the convention, the rest of the DNC and American media would brush it off as "an awkward costume."

[–] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

lathe-of-heaven I don't really want this to happen, but now I have a feeling he will at least do an accent to the same effect at some point

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He was heavily coached to make him speak in the cadence of Obama already, white zero charisma Dems have been doing this for a decade

[–] MLRL_Commie@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I believe that very easily. But I mean that he will do an outwardly offensive one, not just steal cadence and mannerisms

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

pete Uh, let me be queer. If you like your fascist immigration policy, you can keep it!

Let me Buttigieg here. But I will be serious for a moment. Now more than ever - the shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue.

Worked for Justin Trudeau

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 days ago

it's okay, he's just doing an Obama costume

Or

He did such an amazing homage to Obama during his speech to the convention

although we have had a couple of cryptkeeper-type presidents recently I am skeptical that a rodent-type president is politically viable. i think we should consider another cryptkeeper-type president, or look toward a diverse italian-type candidate.

No, this time it's for sure the H-train! If we keep running her eventually she'll win! Worked for Adlai Stevenson!

[–] huf@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

yeah, the tragic thing about rats is they live such short lives. you probably shouldnt elect a president that's gonna die of old age 2 years into his term... oh wait

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yes! The shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue.

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

the issue of our shape is the democracy that affects every other democracy. pete

I'm looking for a robust, bodacious democracy

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You might think that's universal, but in the medieval period they actually preferred pear-shaped democracies.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

The Greeks made statues of men with tiny democracies

The Shape of Jazz to Come affects the shape of every other genre.

That's so weird

elect-black-democrats dot com

This little rat man pete-eat looks like a white dude from Indiana to me

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

Thank you. There was so much Contra slop on the front page that I was dying for another enraging liberal faux progressive.

You can run

But you can't hide

[–] spudnik@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago

The primary should just be him and Newsome in a cage match with thunderdome rules, so that whoever wins at least we'll be rid of the other

I still think Trump’s bit on Mayo Pete was at the peak crossover of dementia and his standup routine

only election dems are winning from now on is ones they make up. works in their favor because they can make all the snarky comments they want, without ever needing to actually do anything

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

wonderful news!

At least we'll get some great videos of him trying to endear himself to non-white people.

[–] buttwater@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

Democrats convinced they can only win when they run a white man

[–] dragongloss@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

You might actually lose worse than Kamala

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago

So this is why you've been doing all that fundraising

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

2027 is going to be a fun year.
