I am an older Democrat. I wore out my marching shoes during the Civil Rights and Women's movements during the "60's. But, I love Pete and many of my friends do, too. I totally agree that the Dems need to reach all ages and beliefs of all our searching friends and even some foes. Truth and facts should be our guiding lights. Everything on the Right is fabrication and distraction. I believe there are so many great, young people out there ready to step up. I am glad I found Underground!
Thank you so much, Lynn. That’s part of what we’re trying to do, bridge the gap between generations. Pete was so great in this appearance, I believe the youth has everyone in good hands!
Don’t understand the distinction made between Newsom inviting those with different perspectives on is podcast vs Buttigieg going on Fox & right-leaning podcasts. Newsom and Carville also talking about inept D messaging - meeting people where they are, not where they “should” be according to D moralists.
I agree with everything you said, ten million times over. The whole country could learn a lot about how to talk with each other by watching that episode.
I met Pete in 2020, at a house party fundraiser in Northern New Jersey. Mainly Wall Street types there. (This, just before Eliz Warren was on his case about wine caves and wealthy donors.) He was great. One guy asked him about taxes, of course. Pete said, simply, the country needs a lot of things, and they have to be paid for. That was it. He is not afraid of anyone, can talk to anyone, is as gracious, honorable and bright as he seems. He MUST be president one day. Sooner rather than later, I pray.

Pete rocks! The Democratic Party needs more Pete Buttigiegs and fewer Chuck Shumers!
