I've changed back to undecided

[Celerity]

50. you have been coming on so many threads and slagging off Buttiegieg with the same tosh since

around the time he declared.

You are a broken record. A truly amazing amount of your low post count (a post count that was extraordinarily low for a 17 plus year old 2002 account) has been non stop, repetitive attacks on Buttigieg. You had less than 100 posts when I first saw you slagging off Pete, which (that low post count) was amazing for someone who has been here for 17 plus years so caught my eye, and has continued to catch my eye given how active you have recently (over the past 7, 8 months) been in having a go at Buttigieg.

Buttigieg used the phrase once, at a South Bend event in early 2015, did NOT use it all in a context like the people who later on completely weaponised it. He never used it again after he was told how it was being used.

One of the people pushing that story about Buttigieg was far from a neutral actor, Nate Levin-Aspenson, who has worked for the most often quoted (the far left Bernie social media sphere camped out in SB for months trying to dig up dirt and so many times used her a cudgel) South Bend critic of Buttigieg, Regina Williams-Preston. Williams Preston had multiple reason to go after Pete, as she had lost a large lawsuit overy derelict proberies she and her husband owned, and she also lost multiple campaigns to Buttigieg-backed candidates, the most recent one being mayor, where she was trounced in the primary, getting only 7% of the vote. Williams-Preston was the main driver behind the spun-up and since debunked gentrification story.

The same goes for another often-quoted local Buttigieg critic, ex SB councilman Henry Davis, Jr., who lost to Pete himself in the 2015 South Bend Mayor race (the one that Buttigieg won with a wee bit over 80% of the total vote, and racked up large margins in every single precinct, including the A-A majority ones, despite his coming out as gay) and is a virulent raging homophobe, who posted a a picture of a man having sex with a dog whilst discussing his opposition to LGBT people serving openly in the military.



By the way, months later, well after Pete did, another person used the exact same phrase as well:


Hillary Clinton’s ‘All Lives Matter’ Remark Stirs Backlash

https://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/06/24/hillary-clintons-all-lives-matter-remark-stirs-backlash/

Hillary Rodham Clinton is facing backlash for saying that “all lives matter” in an African-American church in Missouri on Tuesday, offending some who feel that she is missing the point of the “black lives matter” mantra. Mrs. Clinton’s remarks at Christ the King United Church of Christ in Florissant, Mo. — only a few miles north of Ferguson, where a black teenager was shot by a white police officer last August — came during a broader discussion of civil rights in America. She was talking about how a disproportionate number of young people of color are out of school and out of work and, explaining that everyone needs a “chance and a champion,” she recalled how her mother was abandoned as a teenager and went on to work as a maid. “What kept you going?” Mrs. Clinton remembered asking her mother. “Her answer was very simple. Kindness along the way from someone who believed she mattered. All lives matter.”

Did you go onto all the 2015 and 2016 Hillary threads and attack her about that over and over? It would logically follow that you did seeing how passionately you seem to feel about it when it comes to Buttigieg. You could not have done it much as you averaged about 5 or 7 posts a year from 2002 to early 2019. (17 years and less than 100 posts prior to becoming a Buttigieg trouble magnet this spring.)
