God damn it Pete, dementia Trump in office raises serious issues in the world and you have no other topic to talk about than sport?
I always see someone with this exact same take every time any politician says anything and it's so dumb, lol
The guy was asked a question about a political topic and he answered it. That doesn't mean that particular issue is all he thinks about, or that he thinks about it to the exclusion of other topics. If I asked you your stance on trans athletes I'm sure you'd have an opinion too, but I would never assume that's the only issue you ever talk about.
Look, I think Pete is the same kind of neoliberal Uncle Tom as the rest of the Democratic establishment, but this was just one question he answered in an interview with many questions, and he's been pretty vocal about Trump and other pressing political issues for like 3 straight election cycles.
What questions you choose to entertain as legitimate is a statement in itself.
Dems are thinking “if we throw trans under the bus, surely they’ll like us this time.”
They are, and it's so fucking disheartening to see.
I've seen so many liberals say shit like, "just because the left went too far with wokeness, doesn't mean we need to go too far the other way"... Too far? Fuck off.
I imagine he was asked a question, and didn't just randomly bring it up....
