“A little bit of flailing there”
Why WOULD you want to be in a room with other people if you were contagious with a deadly disease and you care about other people?
Vote that monster out!
You can register to vote within your state by contacting its board of elections. Some states make it hard to register to vote, but If you go to vote.gov it will direct you to your state’s register to vote page. Another helpful website is iwillvote.com, it will help you get to the right site and/or forms to download to register. (If asked for your email address you can use a burner email address to avoid any spam risk).
If you have already registered to vote, please double check with your state board of elections, vote.gov, or iwillvote.com to make sure that you have not been purged from voter rolls, as some states have been removing legally registered voters without informing them.
Have a plan in place for how you will cast your vote.
If you’re absentee voting, send that ballot as soon as you can because USPS has been compromised. Consider submitting the ballot into a ballot box if there’s one near you, that way you can skip USPS. You can send it in via priority mail for about $3, that will get it there quickly, but be very careful addressing the envelope.
If you’re voting in person, you may need to wait on line for hours. Bring identification if required. Bring supplies like a mask, hand sanitizer, a folding chair, snacks, a beverage, a book, etc. If you are turned away for any reason insist upon filling in a contingency ballot. Your vote should count.

Boom! Throwing shade like a fucking tree! Good guy Mayor!
Hellrzr33
He(POTUS) just wants to infect people before he dies, if it is a live debate he might just run around and infect everyone.
skellington01
Next year we’ll see Trump executing opponents Saddam Hussein style, and we’ll look back and see that being contagious was nothing.
PrinceOfWhales
Trump's about to have another Twitter meltdown after watching this.
giraffinator
Some common sense and logic calmly delivered. Nice.

Good man, smart man, well said.
renaissanceredhead
Someone's gunning for a cabinet position...
RandywithanI
Steve Doocy, one of Trump’s favorite boot lickers can’t get a word in. Good on you Mayor Pete.
FallingStar7669
Normally the Gish Gallop is a negative thing, but Pete employed it most skillfully.
TwoStupidDogs
This guy fucks.
license2kilt
Yes he does. His husband. He's very loyal.
iamjacksbadusername
"I won't debate over a virtual platform!" He argued over the virtual platform known as Twitter.
jipopotamus
The presenter said "well.." at the end. I'm hoping he wasn't about to defend Trump but doubt it was going to go any other way.
daianaaaa
Damn I like Pete for turning up for Fox and politely throwing shade. Maybe just enough to get one or two ppl thinking
TheStealthHippopotamus
Just think, he could have been a presidential candidate!!
ALovelyTime
That is how you eviscerate someone in the Midwest. Politely and with a smile.
MadHakon
Different than the South because it is less sinister.
NotTheDevilYouKnow
Laying that hot fire ?

The shade, the shade of it all
SisterMidnight
You say shade, I say truth.
Zeeshie
All shade has an ounce of truth in it
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
Pete Buttigieg on Fox news is the BEST thing EVER.
AsBu
I'm shocked they let him on there, especially with that backdrop.
Drefanator
The news part of Fox News has been pretty good lately. It's still the opinion shows that they make out as news which is heavily biased.
Drefanator
Carlson, Fox and Friends, etc. Compare that to CNN which sure, has Cooper, but it's always come off as his opinion not news.
Lifeisharddeathissoftlol
That last line tho lol GOT IM'
ValiantToast
The fact that they're not trying to interrupt like usual tells me that even FOX might be pulling away from Trump now.
DarthFutuza
Even they're not dumb enough to stay on a sinking ship any longer than they have too. They follow the money, not Trump.
DarthFutuza
*to
HaikuSorrow
Not just *not* interrupting but saying "sure" a few times and conceding points
MrBobSaget
Pete wasn't ready for national leadership, but he makes a tremendous spokesperson to right-leaning audiences on behalf of the Democrats.
parkerShaper
Thata because he is a right leaning politician. Totally bought and paid for by corporations. But I am glad he is dragging trump at least.
JustforKicks5350
Totally agree, especially for the older demographic at Fox. This is tailor made to his strengths.
TheOneWhoWasLeft
How many decades until the word "tremendous" loses its stench, do you think?
oldguyexlurker
It's simple. In a virtual format the moderator controls mics. It's one thing to tell Trump to shut up. But when someone CAN shut him up 1/?
cagdaskayaeu
You are right. Didn't think about that.
oldguyexlurker
mid-tirade, it puts him at a disadvantage. It's like forcing him to actually debate. He cannot do it.
DarthFutuza
Yep, let him deliver a persuasive argument while following the debate rules. Can't do it? Well...maybe you aren't fit to be President then.
HaniiPuppy
Could do what happens in the UK and just have the debate without him if he won't show up. Means he basically just hands it as a ...
HaniiPuppy
... platform for the opposition to stand on.
iamthisguy247
He was actually quite reserved. Saying Trump “maybe” doesn’t care about other people is as generous as you can get.
travisdylan
It's a nice setup: "He does care about people." "If that were true he wouldn't risk exposing people to virus we know he carries."
r0twhylr
Not long ago, this actually would have been considered pretty point-blank. We've been desensitized by over-the-top vitriolic loudmouths.
KartFnocker
it doesn't even seem very conspiracy-theorish to consider that the Trump campaign is hoping to infect Biden
shinagami091
It’s probably why they won’t say when Trump last texted negative. If Trump was positive before the debate, he would be fucked.
MrBobSaget
Pete is going to be one to keep an eye on in the coming years. Get him some congressional or cabinet experience, and he has the makings of
license2kilt
Buttigeig, Harris, AOC, and others need to be the future of the Democratic party.
MrBobSaget
a VP pick in the near future, imo.
BeefyByDesign
He's young and I look forward to his future. Course Bernie was young once also, just hoping we eventually move in the right direction.
SisterMidnight
I completely agree. One of my biggest issues with him during primaries is that he has no track record of success point to. Needs seasoning.
jacblake
He’ll be ready in 8 years. Maybe the US will be ready too.
Nobody7713
He also did some flipflopping in the primary, he could use a clearer vision of what he wants to do. At the moment he's just a good speaker.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Trump is terrified of debating Biden again after his piss-poor showing in the first debate
iSoul95
the trunpians and trump think he won that debate though, thats the sad part
SHUTUPWILWHEATON
I think it's equal parts knowing he'll look bad and not being able to breath.
spiceass9000
I personally wouldn’t wanna debate drugged up and sick, that being said he seems fine spouting shit on twitter so I don’t think that’s it
PieAndPunch
Tbh I think he's too sick as well and hiding it. I'd imagine 2hrs of high stress where everyone is hyper focused on him it'd be obvious
thatscool22
I think that’s what Biden should be saying “trump is too scared to debate me again because of his bad performance at the last one.”
aintnothinbutahounddog28
Imagine if he just got his 2 minutes and that was it. He wouldn't get one single coherent thought out
Saxytimes
That's our opinion. To trumpers his aggression looks strong, while to us it looks like a kid backed into a corner having a temper tantrum
SisterMidnight
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
he's terrified that in a virtual setting, they'll just be able to mute him when he tries to talk over the top of people.
hotdoginathermos
MaliciousGrim05
Meanwhile his brainwashed masses think he did great with that debate. Apparently they didn't get the memo, being loud doesn't mean you won.
Skywatcher16
nah. just afraid of being able to be muted so biden can get a word in edgewise without a whine, complaint, or false accusation on his part.
TheHappyHermit
trump is scared of having to adhere to the rules and being kept in check (cutting his mic)
ErectileFunction
Most candidates learn from the first debate and adjust. Trump can't do that. Biden will only get better. Trump won't.
jaydawgx7
Biden doesn't even have to get better. Not like he gets a chance to talk
PieAndPunch
I just heard instead of airing the debate next week abc is going to air Biden doing his own town hall in Philly
WeeblesWobble
I wish this were true, but he and his cult all think he won that debate. He knows his strategy of not letting the other guy speak won't work
NeverDownvoteMelBrooks
*he claims he won. He knows he didn't.
sallyfromthevalleywaitinginthealley
He reads all the bad press about himself, he’s a narcissist. He knows he lost by a wide, crazy like he was high as a kite, margin.
thoushaltnotpass
The important is not the truth, it's perception. If his cult believes he won, he did won. The only way to win a debate with him would be
thoushaltnotpass
to lower his pants in front of the camera and have him fall on the ground while trying to put it back up.
Eryche
Exactly. The dude will never admit when he's lost or when he's in the wrong
nopost
He's terrified that the moderator will just mute him and he'll look like an even bigger dumbass, just sitting there, mouth silently flapping
SniffinGriffin
amateurlapse
grandslamdolf
Gasping for oxygen is a bad look
sphericalworld
I think the idea of standing at a podium and debating scares him to death because he knows he can’t do it for 90 minutes.
DarthFutuza
The sad thing, is if we had a competent President who actually did push through a debate while gasping for Oxygen, we'd probably admire them
FeelsLikeHalo
He probably can’t stand for 90 minutes for a debate right now anyway. This is a convenient excuse for him not to be on camera.
TheHappyHermit
The next one was a town hall w/ questions from the audience. I think he's scared of an audience that isn't wholly friendly
bippityboppitybuttsex
He would prob have to redose the steroids half-way thru
FeelsLikeHalo
SanshinDojo
Whatcha mean? He’s the picture of health, and not at all struggling to breathe. /s
gorillaClutch
"Maybe the president doesn't care about other people" nice. We know its true but its nice to see it said out loud on fox
iknowalotaboutboats
I glad to finally hear it out loud by someone other than me yelling in my car while listening to the news.
kjb72
Lol I'm glad I'm not alone in this. I yell at the news in my car all the time.
iknowalotaboutboats
The worst one is hearing Trump supporters talk on there, the newscaster is like “Trump’s tariffs just ruined your business” and they are /1
iknowalotaboutboats
Somehow still able to be like “Yeah I still support him”, so the guys policy literally ruin you business and your like awesome MAGA... wut
kjb72
They are infuriating. I can't stand the thought of just how many stupid, gullible people there are out there.
tuxedobob
And the Fox anchor AGREES! *Has* hell frozen over?
SliderOfElay
He is really good at politely throwing shade.
BuddingDownvoteEnthusiast
Especially when he’s up against a 90 year old wet noodle
captainmobyahabdick
And if it wasn't for the fact that he has a dead-on US accent, I'd swear he was Canadian.
themexicanwave
Please trust that I’m not being homophobic or negative in ANY way. But he IS gay. Polite truthful shade, as they say in MANdalor, is the Way
BuddingDownvoteEnthusiast
love living in a world where echo chambers are so deep that even those inside have to preface facts with a proclamation that they love gays
secretagentchewbacca
He's like, "Aw shucks, your mom's a hoe." Love the truth bombs
BuddingDownvoteEnthusiast

Gayforbae
I mean, its an innate skill of ours...
neworiginal3
I wanted him to be Biden’s VP
shinagami091
But unfortunately Biden isn’t a strong enough candidate to get the black and women vote on his own.
CountryMacRIP
I like Pete, but I think Biden made the right call to select Harris. I’m still hoping Pete will get a good admin position should Biden win!
SliderOfElay
I'm not a fan of hers. And it feels like demographic posturing that misses the mark. But what do I know.
geraint616
Maybe hes been watching british parliament to practice
Selerox
It's like being on the receiving end of a peak-era Mike Tyson. They just keep coming.
tappersparty3
? good speaker in general. probably will get a position if Biden wins. maybe a future dem pres nominee..or even president.
UrsulatheArtist
I don't know why you'd want to bring a terribly infectious disease that kills people into a room with others unless you didn't care about...
ulmflb
I'm not trying to be unfair, he is very good. But Trumpists set such a ridiculously low standard that simply preparing seems like a lot!
ulmflb
A national level politician spends at least as much time preparing for this than a professional athlete for its competitions.
Cilvaa
Hasan Abi said pretty much the same thing on stream earlier (trimmed a little to fit in 1min limit)
UnitConversionBotButTerrible
He had my vote.
SnickerMyKnickers
IMO he was the most quick on his feet debater out of the Dem candidates. He excels at this. Biden should give him a job if he wins
Ilove314159
And aiming for a cabinet position at the same time lol
adamant
A lot of gays are “raised” by drag queens and strong black women. Nurture vs nature.

Zipbang
Also it's FREAKING FANTASTIC that he goes on Fox news! Their views don't get news from anywhere else.
750to2Kspud
Agreed. Sadly most fox viewers generally go brew more coffee or something while doocey is on, so most probably missed cracking performance.
manamongstyou
I liked him as a candidate, he's a bit more conservative that I would like, but he's really intelligent.
JustforKicks5350
I think he’s actually the perfect Fox News surrogate for the Biden campaign. I wasn’t a fan of him as a candidate but I like his work here!
Zipbang
I also hope he brings up his husband a lot.... Because they are generally not a fan of .. that.. kinda thing.
ThaWhiteRanger
Which unfortunately to a lot of Fox News viewers it means that he's instantly discredited
DetectiveSloth
Did you see the interviews with people who supported him in the primaries but didn't know he was gay?
Zipbang
He's white, clean cut, and well spoken if anyone change those last hanging on bigots I think it's him. Deprogramming takes a while, I know.
UniversalBasicIncome
I really was not a fan of him as a candidate and hope the democratic party doesn't go his direction. Only in it for power not to help. Kinda
UniversalBasicIncome
like Harris. She's changed her views on whatever is necessary to get farther. She's only the VP since she got the most money at fundraisers.
WizeGuyThoughts
I agree. I don't trust Harris too much and I don't know where she stands, but she is a good speaker and is able to remain civil
sphericalworld
So just to ask, do you disagree with her views or just that she updated them? I think we have to demand our leaders evolve their stances.

I don't know your leaning but, I was surprised to find out she voted with Bernie pretty faithfully. I think Bernie is a helper.

It's like being insulted by Mr. Rogers.
MyBallsSpellAmazingInBraille
Duuude. Don’t insult Mr. Rogers by comparing him to some mere mortal. Pump the breaks.
KatieIsALady
Fred Rogers hated when people implied he was anything other than a normal person. He didn't want people to think his manner was unattainable
MyBallsSpellAmazingInBraille
Oh, you knew him? Very cool.
KatieIsALady
It's mentioned in any given biography of him. He said it out loud often.
LarvaLamp
I'm comparing a mortal to Mr. Rogers. Chill.

LarvaLamp
Don't worry, I already dropped them.

Did Mr Rogers ever do that? ?
Predicto
LarvaLamp
Possibly. It would be so sweet we wouldn't know.
lncorrectGrammerNazi
He would call us wrong, but he'd do it in a way we'd love him and thank him for. We need more people like that in the world.

I think about mr. Rogers talking to donald trump all the time. I just can't imagine what he'd say if he were alive today.

AetherMcLoud
He seems like a better candidate than Biden frankly.
slaughterhouse4andahalf
He’s young. I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts he’ll run again. He was my hub’s #1 pick in the primaries
cmsport2
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's angling for a cabinet or similar position to lead up to a future run again.
BriefausdemGeist
I mean yeah, but the Bernie Bros went after him and made up things that wound up hamstringing him a bit.
ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
Klobuchar, not Bernie. Klobuchar suicide bombed him on her way out. Lots of attack ads.
BriefausdemGeist
Klobuchar didn’t start the ridiculous story Pete was behind wheat prices gouging.
sleepinggreenidea
He hamstrung himself. He's a moderate milquetoast tool whose political stances were, in his own damning words, "plenty bold".
MadHakon
Did you seriously insult him as a milquetoast? Oh how terrible, we might have a candidate so civil that someone like you thinks less of them
MadHakon
for being unwilling to be aggressive and demeaning to others on a regular basis.
sleepinggreenidea
Milquetoast doesn't mean "polite". It means bland, unexceptional, uninspiring. He had an ad where HE described his policies as "plenty bold"
BriefausdemGeist
SeahorseParty
I would have voted for him if he hadn't dropped out. He is a really good public speaker. Throwing shade with class.
Nykidemus
I'd have voted for him over Biden or Harris pretty happily, but he still leans quite a bit too center for my taste.
Lovethesmelloftoastedsourdoughbread
Agreed. He was excellent in the Dem debates.
3P3references
Reminds me a little bit of JFK
JohnnyRehab69
What’s not to like about Mayor Pete ?!...intelligent, articulate level headed. You’ll be seeing more of him I’m sure. ??
GrumpyOldMillennial
He had his flaws as Mayor, thats for sure, but we liked him a lot for his down home humble appeal and his politeness.
OverlyOpinionated
Only 10k people voted in his mayoral election. I like him a lot, but he's not qualified. Small town mayor is not adequate experience
OverlyOpinionated
I wanted him for VP :( He needs experience that he's not gonna get in Indiana since he won't win statewide
Nobody7713
He could end up working in the Biden administration in a different role
OverlyOpinionated
I think it's likely, especially since he ended his campaign early and helped start the liberal consolidation behind Biden
OverlyOpinionated
*moderate... wow, don't know why I wrote liberal, sorry
RogerWillco
I really hope he gets a position inside the Biden White House, he has potential
Youhavinagiraffe
I think he's fully cemented himself as the "we will follow your career with great interest" type amongst more moderate Democrats

“Maybe the president doesn’t care about other people.” There’s your tag line for October.

Can't believe that Fox News let him talk that long about the Truth
abbeyrosemama
Can’t believe the interviewer was agreeing with him
Predicto
Pete knows that if you don't stop talking, they can't deflect and move on without looking like jerks. He's really good at this.
SuicidalBallsack
GeneralAnubis
Right? If these "debates" have shown us anything, it's that no host or moderator knows how to actually take control, so just filibuster lol
Ninjainslippers
The shouts in that interviewer's earpiece must have been deafening.
omnicorpse
That probably makes them hesitate even more.
aWarlockDammit
I think Fox News sees the ship is sinking. However, money is still flowing. So they're toeing the party line for now
SajinZero
I think they're trying to distance themselves a bit
DarthFutuza
They think Trump is a sinking ship and they're not going to stay on board any longer than they have to.
SajinZero
And they'd be right. For once.
ImgurisluvImgurislife
I think that's exactly what it is. They've seen the writing on the wall all year and slowly stepping back
SanshinDojo
Even Trump has noticed. He trashes them now for not lapping his taint as enthusiastically as they have in the past.
JacksBrokenWind
Note also that one of the board members for Fox right now is Paul Ryan. He's not exactly a Trump loyalist either.
