As an immigrant from Northern Europe I have always voted Democrat. There’s no other choice. But I won’t again unless they stop pandering to the right of Center and grow some balls. In 25 years all I’ve ever got for doing so is regular calls to jury service. Memes are not enough.
.. is there another designation other than #presss-secretary ?.. seems a bit below him, #mayorpete is a highly-qualified n well-experienced public servant.. he’s an actual leader, not just a commentator/reporter 🤷🏻♀️
OMG YES! Let's get PROFESSIONAL and get our message out there all day, every day. Fact-check them in real time. Beat them at their own game. GET THINGS DONE or we won't have a country anymore!
There is a dire need for a unified opposition. We need a reliable, consistent, daily Democratic response to the attacks on our democracy, for all to see. Would love to see Pete fill the void that's been left.
Why would you assume I’m a democrat 🤣 I was Green for 24 years until November 2024 when I had enough of Jill Stein and her bullshit. I’m currently am independent waiting for a true progressive party.
Prices never go down.
Restrictive laws never get repealed.
Control is never surrendered.
Ask yourself,
“Why are ‘moderate’ Dems MIA?”
Seriously ask yourself.
The answer may terrify you.
I'm very uneasy with this. I'm wondering if there is a concerted effort to get him off the senatorial trajectory because the right realizes how much of a threat he would be if he attained that Senate seat. No, I don't support this. There are lots of charismatic people out there for press confers.
Do it!! That's one email from dems I'd be happy to donated to. Speaking of which, stop with the stupid begging emails that are a total insult to my intelligence, please.
I love it. Keep a running tally board of Trumps money spent on trips, increases to the deficit and inflation numbers as part of it. Keep the lies, illegality and costs in everyone's face every day.
He no longer has security. He would be killed. Sorry for the bold expectation from Trumps supporters and staff. We have the 1/6 Army out there- Standing by.
And why isn't he doing it? It seems that democrats have run away . Everyone else is having to ask and beg them for help. What the fuck is happening here?
You know who’s not running away? BERNIE FUCKING SANDERS. But he’s not a pathetic democrat and no matter how many times they fuck him he stands up for us!
I’m thinking Pete’s run for Senate might be in his best interest and perhaps Adam Kinzinger would be a good fit for daily communication with the country
Well, Pete was the transportation secretary, and what did he do to actually fix these issues? We had planes losing doors mid flight, and Boeing suffered zero consequences.
The equivalence is that nothing is ever done to make things better. Democrats make zero improvements, Republicans make things worse, dems return us to status quo. They all need to go. We need to stop rewarding lip service.
If Secretary Buttigieg isn’t willing to do this (daily is a big ask), maybe we can get a roster of non-Republicans to fulfill this. I think it’s critical to have the facts presented regularly. We won’t be getting it from legacy media or the current administration.
We need an opposition press briefing where reality is shared with the American people. The BS coming from the trump-swamp media is just a bunch of lies.
WE love Pete. But seriously: The people that need convincing will never follow a gay man. He radiates intellectualism—you guys don’t seem to like that. If Dems want to break through, they need an aggressive, tough-as-nails populist - ideally another billionaire. Maybe Marc Cuban?
more people didn’t vote than voted for Trump or Kamala. Motivating some of them is fine, too. You don’t have to persuade the strongest MAGA cult members.
Back in Twitterverse she alignedherself with some fraudsters who’d post shit like they had an inside track and did not. She blocked me when I criticized her for it. Then she was super aggressively go funding off her cancer when her net worth is over a million dollars. I just don’t trust her.
Democratic Party what is your messaging system?? President Martin of the DNC, the party needs a strong messaging system to communicate to the public. The public needs to be informed !!
Yes. Failure to do this, or any of the other brilliant ideas by historians of fascism (Timothy Snyder’s idea of an opposition cabinet) suggests complicity at worst, fecklessness more likely.
Am I in some bizzaro bluesky thread? Progressives advocating for a corporate dem who hasn’t changed one mind on Fox ever to be the voice of the left?! He’s not the left! Remember how he turned on Bernie🤬 He’s just another dem who isn’t going to change anything. We need fighters or we lose again!!!
Right. Why would I assume democrats would have any balls after watching you all hand over the country to the GOP. You all knew it was happening and did nothing.
As I’ve said before, clone Pete. Put one on Rogan every day. One on cap hill. One on every channel. One do a podcast. All the others spread out and Pete Prime running for senator in Michigan.
Excellent idea! We need him to speak for the masses who care about this country, and all of you who care about her. This is a “transaction” we can and must all get on board with.
Agreed. My wording was unclear.
Do it all. Just emphasizing the fact that it is a coup and we need to act accordingly. The mainstream media can not be trusted at this time to not spin snd normalize.
It is of course a real and dangerous fight this time around.
YES! I will donate towards the salaries, I am sure others will too. For the love of GOD, make it 100% truth. No misrepresentation, and we can win back our FREEDOMS!
Today, I am attempting a solution in an abyss of complaints!
I HOPE THIS CATCHES YOU
Please just take a look at my FULL draft legal strategy on my page to stop Elon/Trump.
THOUGHTS PLEASE!
I believe it'll be worth the time. I have a draft letter for officials too.

Yes, I’ve said that. Where is a place that we can get news of what the Dems are doing, from the mundane to the important moments? Some of us don’t have cable to get what’s going on in the Capital, but it would be nice to know where there’s a place to get a 15-30 minute or more of updates. Go, Pete!
@democraticparty.bsky.social THIS! And hold the first one with all congressional Dems in attendance, opposite Trump’s SOTU. Let’s stop legitimizing the lawless authoritarian regime, and begin a true opposition, now.
YES! A well versed, mature, damn smart man to keep us updated on what the hell is going on ! Wouldn’t it be great if the majority started watching his news conference and not the lies coming out of the WH. We would know for a fact what was going on, and the felon rapist would be soooo pissed !
There is a website for an organized general strike. Please sign a strike card and share like crazy. If we can get 3.5% of the population (11M people) WE STRIKE!!! And everything shuts down until we say so. Please read more about it and educate others, we MUST DO SOMETHING NOW 😭 https://generalstrikeus.com/
YESSS!!! Pleeeeease share and KEEP SHARING the link!!! The number was stuck at just over 248k for like a year now, this morning it’s almost 250k!!! We need momentum!! 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
This is a fantastic idea and something that could give Americans a regular and reliable source of truthful information while at the same time pointing out the daily lies and misinformation by this administration. The issue is aspirational democrats wanting to run in 2028 will not support it.
Sure, Pete is great. He's a nice guy who's very passionate. I want fury. I want Jasmine Crockett and AOC tag teaming a steel caged match against the Senate. Special guest: Bernies Sanders chair!
YES! Thank you!!! Why is everyone all over having a mild-mannered, moderate democrat speaking for us when we need passion and outrage. I’ll take Pete for what he’s good at but I want a lot more than he offers and I most certainly do not want him as president. Haven’t we learned anything???
I think Pete would make for a decent candidate, solely for the fact that he's a marginalized citizen who wants what's right for our other marginalized, not because he's going to "shake things up." He's palpable for moderate Democrats. I'm sick of pandering to moderates, though.
This would be perfect. It will be a true press briefing with actual facts and real information. It would be covered better and followed more then the White House briefing and it will drive the felon in chief insane
This is a Great Idea. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social is an excellent choice to speak to the masses. Also, remember @maddow.msnbc.com speaks out every week night at 9 PM Eastern.
Having a similar thought—a designated Press Secretary 4 Dems. All the resistance news of the day. *Today all Dems voted against the confirmation of RFK Jr cuz he is unqualified.*14 AGs have sued to stop DOGE from sharing private data.*PA suing re frozen funds.*Woman dies from no aid.*Next day plans
Comments
Crockett, AOC and Frost

I agree with the premise, but only some democrats will listen.
If he's not communicating at...the magats on their media, then what he might say is at the wrong audience.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has set up a "rapid response" team headed by an 81 year old. That was a week ago. Haven't seen any responses from them.
No one is coming to save us. We will have to save ourselves.
