    1. >A video clip of former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg explaining Social Security Administration (SSA) database issues [on the Flagrant podcast hosted by comedian Andrew Schulz](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgx7GvYSq64) has gained major traction online, amassing 2 million views in just one day on X, formerly Twitter.

      >The viral clip features Buttigieg, who worked in former President Joe Biden’s administration, addressing misconceptions about deceased individuals receiving SSA benefits, clarifying the difference between being listed in a database and actually receiving payments.

      I really like Pete, but it amazes me that Americans are this fucking dumb that they don’t know this already.

    3. it’s awesome to see a politician who can actually explain complex issues without dodging the question. Pete rocks!

      Being able to calmly debunk propaganda like this with a group of people who don’t agree with you is an admirable skill that more politicians need.

      Pete has set the example of going into “the lions den” so to speak (Fox News, etc.), and just telling them they’re wrong and why with facts to back it up. All with a smile on his face and with charisma so it doesn’t come across as condescending and is just genuine. Keep it up buddy

      Been such a dumb lie. If you’ve never had an older relative die let me assure you that the speed at which SSA yanks that months check back out of their bank account will make your head spin. My father in law wasn’t even out of the hospital morgue before that money was gone.

    6. I’ve always loved Pete, although this sub turned on him HARD in the 2020 primaries.

      He’s extremely articulate, he’s eloquent, he’s charismatic, and he speaks in terms that people understand. I’ll probably get torched for saying this, but him and AOC running together in 2028 would probably get a lot of people from different camps excited. Could brilliantly set either of them up to take over for the other after 8 years also.

    7. There is an alternate universe where Pete is leading this country with sound logic, reason, and without fear of critical thinking. I wish I was in that timeline.

    8. Even if they were getting checks theoretically, how does a dead person cash a check? How fucking stupid are we as a society that people just accepted this shit

    9. This article is written like a gossip column „he said she said“ instead of confirming facts. Musk has not provided any backing for any of his claims, it the article is treating Musk’s actions like gospel instead of calling it out as BS.

      did this sub finally come around on Buttigieg? when the dude (correctly) claimed victory after the 2020 Iowa caucus, this sub and several other big political ones basically decided he was worse than Hitler. that shouldn’t come as a shock though when the Bernie faithful would upvote BREITBART articles to the front page here as long as they were anti-Hillary (back in 2015/2016)

      Pete should be president one day. He’s an exceptional talent on so many fronts. We’d be lucky to have him.

    12. Pete more than anyone else interests me in 2028 because he has figured out a way to explain things to the American people. He’s found a way to get through the political double speak and speak directly to the American people in a way that other politicians just haven’t figured out. If he was a straight man I think he’d already have been president.

      Pete’s incredible. I wish people would get past the fact he’s gay. He’s a leader who would destroy any Republican in a debate.
      He’s a person for the people who should be heard.

      I clicked on the link and got a video of Joe Biden, not Pete Buttigieg.
