Talk about Pete as killing it again and am dumping this podcast. You don't get to be proud of a candidate doing something as awesome as being one of the top presidential candidates and being gay...if at the same time are a corporate dem. Do some fucking research. He will not be fighting for the people. He will be fighting for the donors the represents. Pete will not be fighting for the progressive platform.

Slobbering over Pete because he is gay is silly. Pay attention to policies they are fighting for. Did you know Pete was in attendance at the "what to do about Bernie" corporate meeting?
