Progressive activists around the country are mobilizing to halt the momentum of Pete Buttigieg, who they increasingly view as a formidable threat to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Top liberal leaders from multiple organizations are independently crafting strategies that center around three prongs: a heightened focus on Buttigieg’s checkered record on race in South Bend, Ind., his little-known work at the McKinsey consulting firm and an argument that his tempered policy proposals align with the wishes of large corporations.

The escalation of attacks against Buttigieg comes not only as he emerges as a next-generation alternative to moderate Joe Biden, but as he shows signs of undercutting a progressive’s path to victory in the 2020 primary.

The left is coming for Pete Buttigieg because he is not left enough. Identity is just a ruse and it does not matter if one steps a little out of line.

It's worse than that. The DNC and their allies have already chosen their Presidential candidate (IMO it'll be Quid Pro Joe) and and will rig the primaries like in 2016 to make sure it will happen.

If they'll stab one of their own in the back, imagine what they'll do to their enemies.

I've already seen rumors floated that the Super Delegates are going to pick the nominee again this round.
