What is your documentation for what actually happened?

The evening after South Carolina primary results were in, what was the chain of events?

Buttigieg has actively been advocating SCOTUS reform since before he announced his candidacy for POTUS in 2019.

Precisely.

He’s for opening an avenue of discussion for allowing trans girls the opportunity to participate on sports teams.

He is correct that compassion for those parental concerns is justifiable. Those discussion ‘must‘ occur on the local level with coaches, counselors, & education officials.

In order to bring people ”together on this”, everyone’s concerns must be listened to.

Do you advocate closing off discussion to achieve the goal of getting more people on the side of allowing trans girls to participate on youth sports teams?

*That* won’t work!

Mayors go into classrooms to read books, talk about careers, and teach safety.

They are role models for every student in their city.

Bike safety while wearing a helmet is part of that.

Pete wanted Universal Health Care and his plan to ease the nation into it was brilliant. He beat Bernie but that isn't pushing Bernie out.

Here’s a better way to do Medicare-for-all

My approach will bring us together rather than push us even further apart, so we can achieve universal affordable health care.
