Correct?

Re: Booty Kick is Seriously Dark Horse
Prediction: Beto's incapable of serving a function other than early stalking horse, a John the Baptist for the as-yet undetermined Player To Be Named Later. His function will be to distract the right-wing heat for a while, then to melt quickly.
Viewing the field for potential ABBs (Anybody But Bernie, which it is superfluous to say is also ABBOTG), and excluding the two governors on late-life benders who might have had a shot in the atmosphere of circa 1980, I had a hunch:
The Betomaniac, Prosecutor Harrisment, and Old Monster Buyed-In may become preludes to sweet young Mayor Booty Kick (actually pronounced Buddha Judge, which is even better) as the Jimmy Carter of 2020. Brainy, sophisticated and contemporary in his triangulation, with RFK-style rhetorical flourishes, he seems to believe what he says, including the bullshit position on Medicare for All and the ultra-bullshit on the Question of American Force.

I think Buttigieg would naturally tend to oppose such whistleblowing, being in Naval Intelligence and all.
I have trouble seeing why we need a separate thread for every single one of the 38 goddamn fake progressive presidential model launches aimed at establishing the ABB of Neera Tanden's dreams. I thought over here we do social commentary and UFOs and shrooms, you know? This really is the shit for Democratic Underground, there is plenty of space for it there. And elsewhere. It's the whole goddamn fucking Internet.

I agree with Wombat about this thread, and the basis is not because there is a special, unprecedented odiousness in the product currently being media-tested as Mayor Pete for Prez (ABB!). It's just the old straw that breaks the camel's back.
WR's is an appropriate response given the altogether routine nature of this product launch, and the starting of a thread without any commentary but just copy-paste of the promotional materials already amply available and being pushed by the corporate propaganda machinery.
[snip] It is a great argument for limiting the total number of new threads that a user or its sock puppets can start to no more than two a month. My god, that still comes out to 24 a year! [/snip]

Oh great, another asshole Rhodes Scholar gets vomited out by the system for Democrats to get excited about.

Oh hell yes!
Plus all what Jack wrote. Pass that baggie of shrooms over would ya?
Just the mere fact that Buttwhatever worked for Naval Intel is enough to wave the red flags. If he wasn't gay he is just another ordinary white guy who worked for spookville. Doubtful that those folks ever really stop being a player in some fashion.
He also worked for McKinsey and Company, another red flag.
