Buttigieg says Sanders and Bloomberg are “the two most polarizing figures on this stage,' calling them 'a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power.' DemDebate
Pete Buttigieg argued on Wednesday that Mike Bloomberg and Bernie Sanders are “the two most polarizing figures on this stage” and warned that the Democratic Party most “wake up” to the reality that they could be the only Democrats left in the race in two weeks if the contest doesn’t change.
"Most Americans don't see where they fit if they've got to choose between a socialist who thinks that capitalism is the root of all evil and a billionaire who thinks that money ought to be the root of all power," Buttigieg said."Let's put forward somebody who actually lives and works in a middle-class neighborhood in an industrial midwestern city. Let's put forward somebody who's actually a Democrat.
The line earned applause in the room, and highlights the fact that Sanders identifies as a Democratic socialist and independent in the Senate and Bloomberg has long been a Republican. "Look, we shouldn’t have to choose between one candidate who wants to burn this party down and another candidate who wants to buy this party out," Buttigieg added."We can do better."“If speaking to the needs and the pain of a long-neglected working class is polarizing, I think you got the wrong word,” Sanders said, before turning to the fact that Buttigieg takes money from billionaire donors.
