# Talk:Pete Buttigieg

same as title, it's Boot-Edge-Edge not Boot-ah-judge 216.222.181.150 (talk) 15:43, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

I have no doubt that he pronounces the second syllable as an unstressed link between the first and third, certainly not representable by "Edge-Edge" as though they had the same weight. Listening to him introduce himself here, I'm actually having trouble figuring out the first vowel. It isn't /u/ as in "boot" but it also doesn't sound to me quite like /ʊ/ as in "put", but I guess that's what it is. In a respelling sort of phonetic representation "boot" won't work because it'll imply a long "oo". Let's see if this bit of Unicode magic works to represent a short "oo": "bo͝ot-uh-jedge".

This is from Tulsi Gabbard's Wikipedia page.  It might be good to mention this on his page: 
In October 2019, former secretary of state and 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton suggested that Gabbard was a "Russian asset". Gabbard was defended by fellow 2020 Democratic presidential candidates Andrew Yang, Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders, who rejected Clinton's suggestion that Gabbard was a Russian asset. Trump also defended Gabbard. Easeltine (talk) 19:26, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

@Easeltine Not for this article. That really isn't a major stance or aspect of him.
If any Buttigieg articles would make sense for that, it'd be his presidential campaign. But I am not sure that it's significant enough either. Unless we add more about the interpersonal dynamics between him and other contenders (which maybe we could do). SecretName101 (talk) 01:49, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

currently Buttigieg is listed as one of the names in the Progressivism sidebar. Apart from the fact that he definitely isnt notable enough to be listed next to Clement Attlee and FDR, he also very clearly isnt a progressive. Compare Pete_Buttigieg_2020_presidential_campaign#Political positions. Despite running a moderate campaign and constantly attacking Sanders, there is only a single quote in this article claiming he is a "pragmatic progressive" from a random publication. The section should really be updated and expanded, considering he is certainly gonna run for more public offices. — jonas (talk) 23:48, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

It just said what it needed to to try to get elected. 205.132.40.169 (talk) 23:38, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
