Pete Buttigieg lampooned for tweeting quote critics say ‘literally doesn’t mean anything’

Marianne Williamson added “If I had said it, there’d be jokes about my being on acid. And I would never have said it.”

Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg was severely mocked for tweeting a quote pic with a saying that critics claim “literally doesn’t mean anything.”

During a CNN town hall on Thursday night, Buttigieg was asked if he could enact one specific policy as president, what it would be.

“Just one? Wow,” Buttigieg reacted. “Let me say this, it’s not a sizzling, glamorous issue, but the shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue. So in order for us to get better outcomes on funding public education, on dealing with gun violence… there are so many issues and areas from climate to gun violence where Americans want something and Washington cannot deliver. That if you’ve got to pick one thing to fix, it’s politics. It’s Washington. And there are concrete things we can do about it.”

Buttigieg then shared an image of himself on Twitter with a graphic that read, “The shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue.”

However, without the context of his fuller answer from the town hall, many on social media were left puzzled by the quote.

“This literally doesn’t mean anything,” The Hill’s “Rising” co-host Saagar Enjeti reacted.

“Almost as meaningless as the percentage of Iowa’s state delegate count,” Jacobin writer Meagan Day quipped.

“Imagine thinking this quote, which communicates nothing of substance, is so good that you make a graphic out of it to promote in a tweet,” The Young Turks host Ana Kasparian wrote.

“This is like an inspirational quote run through Google translate into mandarin and back again,” Washington Examiner columnist T. Becket Adams said. more here

  1. Butt-boy says people like me are racist. It’s a ridiculous charge.
    How can you charge people like me of doing wrong when it’s just a legacy of slave ownership i inherited? I can’t be held responsible for that any more then blacks can be held responsible for being uncivilized due to their legacy of slavery.

  2. What is with Dem pols and “our democracy”? Hillary blathered about “our democracy” in a tweet the other night. We don have a democracy. We have a representative republic. Deal with it, Democrats.

  3. Just another Marxist Totalitarian wannabe lamenting that there still aren’t nearly enough retarded voters, even after their near total takeover of the education system and news media, to give him the power he craves.

  4. He could have solidified the MSM into his camp by simply saying, “Donald Trump must die.”

    Stupid queer, he didn’t say that.

    Yep, called you a queer Pete, you’re welcome to call me a cisgendered male. I didn’t invent either label, you folks did.

  5. Marco has it correct … we need to have a ‘douf-off’ between Beta & Petey

    what’s w/ all the younger white male candidates on the d’RAT side that are total spaz’s?

    … hell, nevermind … all the d’RAT candidates are total spaz’s

  6. Empty suit. Seriously if their great white hope is a gay failed mayor of a fairly black area then good luck. And note no one mentions the dismal record let alone what else he has in his history.

  7. This is unbelievably bad… so bad that I guess even creatures as low intelligence as the young jerks have to criticize. Now that’s not a good sign, is it, Petey?

  8. “The shape of our democracy is the issue that affects every other issue.”

    Translated: Petey B! I’m your bride! Close your eyes and open wide!

  9. Actually, it says quite a bit.
    He wants to destroy the Republic – the essence of self-rule and self-determination – what he’s calling “the shape of our democracy.”
    If he can change the “shape of our democracy” itself, that is, our right to elect our agents and representatives in “gov’t” and our Electoral College for the selection of our President, then he can impose tyranny – either a tyranny of an oligarchy or a tyranny of one.

    Consider Obola’s “fundamental change.”

    They cannot impose their tyranny as long as the Constitution stands.
