Actor Keegan-Michael Key set to endorse Pete Buttigieg, CNN reports

Though I do not know much about De Niro's background or political history, I'm not exactly surprised when a rich old white guy endorses someone like Buttigieg.
But a fairly young black guy like Key? Endorsing the failed mayor of South Bend who polls at virtually 0 with minorities? Yeah, it's a head-scratcher.
it's okay to admit you don't follow the primary because it's a circus of stupid, but feigning ignorance and confusion at people being mildly irritated by this with some underhanded calls for unity/civility sprinkled on top doesn't make you seem like a high minded intellectual, just uninformed.
My wife and I were talking about this today and we couldn't find anything
For real. Also his overall endorsement is irrelevant. This isn't going to swing the race either way.
But I feel had he endorsed a certain someone else this thread would be going very differently.
Don't be shocked when black celebs and seniors start to endorse Bloomberg yall.
His appeal is that he's young, slick, and doesn't overtly stand for anything while appearing like he does. He's an uncontroversial centrist - to the non-observer anyway. In a more contested field (i.e. with better opponents outside of Bernie) this wouldn't help him, but in this very specific set of unexciting candidates, he falsely seems like a breath of fresh air who'll renew the field. The same could be said about Klobuchar, honestly.
i.e. he's your Macron, except he's operating inside the party instead of outside like Macron did.
I had an inkling it was which is why I asked but it's hard to tell!
As far as celebrities go? Ariana Grande is a big Bernie supporter
During her most recent tour she even stations set up where people could register to vote.
We can do better than this. Just because someone is a Democrat doesn't mean they're not a bad candidate. IMO not supporting medicare for all does, on some level, represent a moral failing. I realize that's a hot take or whatever but it's what I truly and honestly believe.

He's a minority (gay) while being a majority (white). People will seem "progressive" while still "playing it safe."
Warren is my preferred candidate, but it looks like it's going to be Bernie against Pete, so I'm gonna go with Bernie.
The dude is smart and knows how to communicate. I actually liked him before he made the face-heel turn around the time he started blasting Warren on M4A (consequently this is also around the time his support started to skyrocket. Blech.)
His stuff. Lol.
Dude came out the gate saying he would approach issues from a progressive standpoint and has since eroded any goodwill he was trying to get by, well, doing everything wrong. I'm sure his big money donors, corporate ties and McKinsey influence expect real progressive change from him, right?
No real reason:

I mean, don't bother.
People ignore any legitimate discussion about why Pete is a toilet. They do it in every single thread with his name in it.
Not sure if officially, but I swear Ariana Grande and Mark Ruffalo were openly for Bernie.

You Blue No Matter Who people have broken brains, I swear
Ruffalo officially endorsed Bernie. There's a video on the official Bernie channel.
Okay. Didn't expect that.
Yeah. They were last time too. So is Danny DeVito.
I think we can pretty much all agree it should be Bernie or Warren, and not a centrist. But given the centrist candidates, Buttigieg's main problem is that he's kind of boring. It's not DINOs creepy Joe and racist oligarch.
There's a big chance the nom lands on Buttigieg, and if it does, let me say on behalf of the sanity of the rest of the world, yall better not repeat 2016. Stop eating each other up FFS.

Dreams didn't make the statement you seem to be accusing them of.
The large majority of people don't calculate their preference by how they will seem to other people or by how many woke points they can get. It's basically this:
He's a moderate who's really smart and communicates well. That's about it.
I'm stunned that several people in this thread missed the deafening sarcasm of that post lol
No damn kidding. Mike "stop and frisk" Bloomberg is running as a Democrat and he'd be just as bad as fucking Trump. It's ok to have standards people.
This is ludicrous. It is not a moral failing to support another flavour of left then your flavour of left.
Imagine thinking it's your guy or nothing as the world slides to shit because that makes you feel superior.
