Pete Buttigieg told Democrats to not allow themselves to be so outraged by the Trump administration that they would neglect working for their constituents. “We cannot be mesmerized by the worst things that we see happening,” Buttigieg said. https://nyti.ms/3ZiKILz

Biden has done well, we were not better off 4 years ago under Trump!
I can’t understand why he got elected???

I have a disabled son that needs Medicare and Medicaid for his survival. I feel Trump voters have put us in harm's way.
Upper or lower?
I’m in Lower
Do you they still call you trolls?
Obviously, you know I’m not trash talking you. Just curious if it’s still a thing?
All y'all can go f*ck all the way off.
Go silent in public. Text and email with ideas and organizing rather than money requests. Also across the US, private dinners/events with speech portion closed to press.
Until Dems embrace a Bernie or Obama-like prog-populist position, they haven’t learned their lesson & don’t deserve support.
Whatever happens next, consultant-class politics won’t get us out of it or fix what gets broken.

I am not a fan of corrupt politicians but for all the negatives, there's also a number of advantages in dealing w/ them.
First of all blanket pardons for anything he might ever have done. He is a vulnerable Narcissists, who's desperate to boost his ego, so how about basically making him King Donald the 1st? A ceremonial figure of sorts, like Charles, for life.
He earned it.
He won fair and square, and by a large margin.
As Putin is already upset about it:

Trump doesn't give a s*** about humiliation & won't ever need foreign help again. Why would he help Russia?
Putin has no leverage.
They didn't for money.
Trump was warned not to tear up the Iranian nuclear deal.
With trump's reelection.
We're going to have nuclear powered Iran on our hands.

A more robust Dem primary wd hv led to a fuller, more detailed platform - and might hv produced a stronger candidate.
I hope next time it’ll be a bold, articulate candidate like Pete.
I just can not even.
Democrats are so stupid they don't even know how stupid they are.
wtf
Doesn’t having 12-year-old editors violate child labor laws?
SMH
Without a leader, right wing narratives will dominate the news cycle.
We cannot solely be reactionary.
The guy is willing to go anywhere and talk to anybody. And be himself. And not be intimidated or afraid. He’s willing to talk with people who don’t like him.
They need to do more of this.
Good old Pete belonged to the top 10% and is now member of the top 1% today.
So funny.
"We need to make sure that we're changing the channel from this show that he's created. Because what matters — and I get it. Look, it's mesmerizing. It's hard for anybody to look away. Me too. It is the nature of grotesque things that you can't look away."

“Gas prices down thanks to Biden “
Surely, the incoming administration is going to take credit for this.
would that we were any if us so lucky in life that we could just run away.
He is not jockeying at all. He's one of few people actually speaking truth and sense during this time. Do better @nytimes

Dead? No.

Don’t bail them out.
That's not the democratic party: it's MAGA.
