Learning from the failure of your efforts in 2020 worked so well to elevate Bernie, that you’re going down that same avenue again?
Slow learner, are you?
Bernie got fewer votes in 2020 than he did against Hillary…
Even after campaigning for 7 years.
Do carry on, sweetie, you’re doing great.

Pete has always supported the trans community. He protected them as mayor after Pence signed RFRA, & stood up for them during his campaign and as secretary. All he said was some parents have questions, because they’re concerned about fairness, so we should listen, but he NEVER said they were right.

Remember when Pete Buttigieg was Secretary and handed out snacks to other passengers on a delayed flight? He was wearing jeans and being a servant leader, not a hypocritical scold. He actually was concerned about expanding traveler's rights too! youtu.be/1YMxUml-j0A?si

I'm old enough to remember when Buttigieg was grilled for very typical travel patterns of using government private planes 3% of the time. Any Democrat running for office in 2026 should run on hauling their asses in front of congress about this shit. www.newsweek.com/pete-buttigi...

![[The first part of his answer is talking about the Democratic victories in last week's election - New York, Georgia, Virginia etc.]
PB:
The point is, for once every Dem you saw was talking about the right question, and the question was, what can we do using the pulleys and levers of government to make you better off on the biggest problems of your life, which right now have to do with the fact that it's unaffordable to be an American?
And getting the question right is table stakes, but that's actually been a struggle for us sometimes - us, meaning my party.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v576cagizia56fnz2shggofp/bafkreic7k2xezbvhvpcuchsvmugsl4ayferelvukn5hrtzi6b7lgyf72qm@jpeg)
![Host:
Stay on that. What is wrong with your party?
[audience laughs]
PB:
Well. [pause] Where do we begin.
You know, i do think there was a sense that we were not asking the right questions or not offering answers to the right questions. I think that was largely, or partly unfair -
Host: Were you actively asking the wrong questions? and obviously, I'm hinting at the basket of cultural issues which seemed only to turn off people.
PB: We got sucked into an account of America that defined everything by identity at the expense of everything else.
And what it meant was, you know, there were expressions in the Democratic party of all the matters si where you fit is based on your identity and therefore the only things we can do for you have to do with your identity.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v576cagizia56fnz2shggofp/bafkreia2dc3a2u7fezbq7tmk26jknhxdc5zfh45skrmy7zofmdtj62w4ya@jpeg)

Pete was the most pro consumer and toughest regulator heading DOT we’ve ever had.
He’s also the only Democrat who threatened to withhold aid from the Netanyahu government.
That was six years ago.

Grossman was AIPAC president when Pete was in middle school. When Yitzhak Rabin was the Prime minister working on peace deals and autonomy for Palestinians. And got assassinated for it.
He later was DNC chair and his endorsement had nothing to do with Israel. The world was different in 1994 vs 2019.

You have replies turned off, but quote repost works.
How would donors have contributed “millions into some random Midwestern mayor’s campaign” without it showing up on FEC records?
He accepted *zero* PAC money & transferred *zero* from previous campaigns unlike Warren & Sanders.

Wealthy donors don’t put millions of dollars into some random Midwestern mayor’s campaign for president. Like we don’t need to combat the weird obsessive hatred of Pete by pretending he’s something he’s not.
