Answering questions is great, but how about answering the tough ones about how he'll handle international relations as a gay president?

It ain’t just about how he handles things-those foreign leaders ain't exactly gonna roll out the red carpet for him. They don’t care if he can keep his cool; they’re playing chess, not poker.

[@ilpilp7423]

Do you not know that JD was a Marine? He was not insulting to anyone other than those who chose to interpret his comment wrongly for political reason.

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

@@ilpilp7423nobody is interpreting it incorrectly. He said what he said and it’s absurd. Why would a parent get more votes? I’m a parent and it only takes 5 seconds to realize how ridiculous it is. If a couple has 5 children do they each get 5 extra votes (which would equal 10 votes for 5 people)? Or do they fraction them so that they each get 2.5 votes? You may not know this… but America has a pretty sketchy record with giving people fractions of votes… It was an absurd thing to say. It seems like all of his talking points are culture war issues that have nothing to do with actual governing, which is probably why no one takes him seriously. I don’t know a single well to do Trump supporter that thinks Vance isn’t a clown. The only reason to defend him is for political reasons, not the other way around as you stated. 😂

[@cerka27]

Vance literally said parents should have extra votes because they have a direct investment for the future. How’s was that not insulting to people without kids making them seem less worthy.

[@ceterisparibus8966]

​@@ilpilp7423He was a Marine? Can you prove it?

[@Isaiah.c.burton]

Only 82 members of the current Congress have served (18 are democrats), and there are less than 3 Cabinet members that have served. This means the majority of the body that has the authority to authorize war has never served, and should a crisis occur the majority of cabinet members who can step up as commander in chief haven’t either. Most who follow orders don’t like those numbers.

[@thewhiteboy114]

what i love about pete is contrasting him with so many politicians is he fully answers questions directly and provides examples and doesnt just get caught in talking point loops his PR person told him to focus on. Compare this questioning to Sununu's from this week and you can tell which one just avoids questions and sticks to talking points with no substance

[@qqw743]

He's a good speaker and makes good points, but he also memorizes well. Every point he made in this interview, he has made in all the others. It's easy to think that a politician is saying it for the first time, but remember that they constantly go around saying the same stuff.

Ummm...

Pete might be a good speaker, but being VP or president is about more than that. A gay president could face significant challenges in foreign policy, especially with countries like Saudi Arabia. Plus, his domestic policies could exacerbate issues like transgender athletes competing in women's sports.

@@rosemimi973 "in Germany we had a female German chancellor and her secretary of state (vice chancellor) was also married to a man. No problem at all." Oh, @rosemimi973, that's cute, but comparing Germany to countries where being gay is punishable by death is like comparing apples to hand grenades. Sure, Germany had a female chancellor and a gay vice-chancellor, but they weren't dealing with regimes where those identities are criminalized. It’s not about whether we can elect leaders who break barriers; it's about understanding that not all countries are as progressive, and those differences can complicate international relations. So let's not pretend that every place in the world is as welcoming as Germany when it comes to leadership diversity.

[@antimediaman9354]

@@rosemimi973 Also the Middle East's business dealings and influence in the U.S. are way different than in Germany. And having a gay vice-chancellor isn't the same as dealing with a gay president, especially when those countries hold the keys to vital resources like oil and have significant financial stakes here.

For years now women in Canada get one year paid parental leave. And our economy has not collapsed. My heart goes out to new American moms who must make alternate care arrangements so soon after giving birth.

[@TM.BECK14]

The parental leave situation in the US makes me absolutely sick. My sister is giving birth in a couple months, works as a nurse assistant and is on her feet all day for long hours -- her work pretty much tells her to suck it up, that "pregnancy isn't a disability" and she shouldn't get any "special treatment" just because she's pregnant. And she's in a state with no paid parental leave, so she will probably have to go back to work very, very soon after giving birth 😔

[@khereti]

Me too!!! Pete for VP then President!!! LOVE HIM

[@sueinlove4772]

Pete Buttigieg is the closest thing to a superhero the Democratic Party has! Of the remaining candidates, he's definitely Harris' wisest pick for VP. By far the best communicator, he refuses to be bullied by today's ill-willed Republicans -- without ever needing to raise his voice or resort to exaggeration. Buttigieg actually thrives in debates and interviews, and he always comes prepared with verified facts and figures, simple analogies, and quick responses -- even when he's being grilled by Congress or far-right news hosts. His ability to convey a message with fewer words and in less time is extraordinary, and it's pure joy to watch him not only win his opponents over, but put THEM on defense! After a solid education at Harvard (degrees in History and Literature) and as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford (Politics, Economics, and Philosophy), worked as a highly paid management consultant at McKinsey & Co. and could be earning much more money than he does. But his devotion to our country led him to public service where he knew he could make a greater difference. And what a patriot! He served in our military as a Naval intelligence officer. His military experience and deep understanding of US and world history, economics, and politics uniquely position him to support Harris in international affairs. Buttigieg entered politics as a transformational mayor of South Bend, Indiana, completely changing the trajectory of a crumbling city by investing in poorer neighborhoods and infrastructure, increasing its employment rate, and much more. His educational record and his accomplishments in the corporate world, as an intelligence officer in the Navy, as a transformative mayor, as a father, and within the Biden-Harris administration make him a more qualified VP than a person decades older. He will further fire up the voters and be her best weapon in the campaign. A Harris--Buttigieg ticket will be unbeatable and give Democrats the landslide victory they need to send Trump packing!
