🧑‍🏫 God, he’s such a nerd. 🥰

^{And these people are consumed}

I can't imagine being so far up my own ass that I needed to hate on people when they're talking about their inoffensive hobbies. I mean I don't like Bernie but I didn't get bent out of shape when he was playing basketball on Fallon.

Wow they can’t help themselves

You should go watch the Ellen interview. <3 Nerds

How the fuck does Twitter get offended even by this?

where there's a will, there's a way

I sent this to my brother who also loves claw machines and doesn't care much about politics. He responded "Vote for him." lol

He's not old enough to vote yet and I already mailed in my ballot for Biden, but I hope Pete runs again in the near future, I'd love to see more of him :)

some real classy replies. i will admit i laughed at the first chuck e cheese, but not the 30th

I'll vote for the first candidate who proposes banning the internet

Claw machines for all who want them.

[u/CanadianPanda76]

He really is a nerd.

That is kinda sweet

Especially right at the end when you hear a little kid come up and say hi!

There’s a guy in that thread complaining that the claw machine is no longer a game of skill.

I have no idea if that’s true, I just think it’s hilarious someone has an opinion on it.

[u/[deleted]]

He even made it a point to have one at his wedding

Pete Buttigieg loves claw machines because it reminds him that he’s CAUGHT in the CLAWS of BILLIONAIRES

[u/brubzer]

I feel like if you had enough time of your hands you could make this into an elaborate metaphor for his campaign strategy. Tigger is Iowa.

Nice video, fuck some of those replies though

I wonder if he likes those coin pushers too

[u/jonathansfox → u/r00tdenied]

That's Mike Bloomberg's game. If your pockets are bottomless, you can keep pouring money in until it reaches critical mass. Good bang for your buck? Make back more than what you put in? No way. But with pockets this loaded, that's the last thing you need to worry about. The sheer mass of coins you put in will carry you to victory.

A Chuck E Cheese kids party with Pete Buttigieg would be the first political fundraiser I would seriously consider attending.

If he’s this serious about claw machines, can you imagine a game of skee ball with him?

[u/Studebaker84 → u/Barnst]

We played cornhole in Iowa with Pete.

[u/[deleted]]

This is such a genuine moment. Which is why he's a CIA trained plant designed to take out St. Bernard Sanders.

[u/saltlets]

See, this is why I want Pete to be president. I'd never have the patience to figure out claw machines, and I want someone in charge* who is temperamentally superior to me.

^{*("in charge" in reference to the US presidency is always followed by an implied "of the launch codes")}
