2028 frontrunner Pete Buttigieg's answer to a question on how Democrats should handle Israel has been described as "a beautiful example of sounding like you care about genocide while actually saying nothing at all."

Well yeah, he's a McKinsey man.

Best case scenario he's a shitty psychopath CEO type who will lie to your face and stab you in the back without pause.

There's warehouses full of skeletons, but they're so ingrained in our system that you'll have McKinsey advising the FDA and Mckinsey advising opioid manufactures on each side of the table.

Corporations and our tax dollars paying the same company millions of dollars to negotiate with itself, and the result is always CEOs and politicians deserve more, everyone else less

It's a complete and utter sham of a state that is basically pageantry at this point.

McKinsey as a corporation has a lot of blame for how fucked shit is.

Even if Pete just sat in the mail room the whole time, I'd never vote for someone who worked for McKinsey.
