Buttigieg is one of the best politicians America has right now.
Him growing a beard is a completely different thing from known bitch Ted Cruz growing one.
And a politician he is, willing to be bought in exchange for political capital.
Stealing from my comment in a different thread:
That's a very uncharitable assumption of his motivations.
Dropping out of an (FPTP) primary is like awkward manual runoff voting. Once you clearly aren't winning, you drop out so those votes can flow to the next preferred candidate.
People voting for Buttigieg switched to Biden because he was the most similar candidate. Of course Buttigieg would support the candidate that best matches his policy preferences -- and the preferences of voters.
You're trying to make sense to people who want their preferred candidate to win and if they don't they throw a fit and won't accept anyone else.
Hence all the people in these comments STILL crying about Bernie.
I voted for Buttigieg. When it was clear he wasn't going to get it, he dropped to let his votes go to someone else, like he should have. Then I went with Biden. The next most realistic, progressive option.
A lot of people in these comments do not grasp how American politics function.
