He should be our messenger.

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

But so are @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social and
@sanders.senate.gov
The Dems have a very strong frontline communication team. They just don’t know how to utilize them properly.

They could have undercut trumps cut cut cut plan.
Instead of transgender surgery for inmates.
But I’m glad he’s speaking up.
Just realize those that voted for Biden but not Harris…won’t vote for a gay man.
As if we get to vote again.
We need a rewrite and a reset!
He's one of the brightest and best spoken lights on the Democratic side and consistently says precisely what needs to be said in a given moment.
Pete breaks through even when he's not trying. Because people find him informative, calming, and enjoyable to listen to.
Because the National Dems are too weak and feckless to stop the complete destruction of the federal government.
And @jbpritzker.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov should be our leader. He gets the importance of the moment.

Yes !
Pete is an excellent messenger.
Mr. Buttigiege is aware where his strengths lie, as well as where and when to use them. Big fan.

I don't think this platform will get a dem candidate elected
They know they’re TOAST!
Youngkin no long answers the phone. GOP suicide
We’re not going back!
GOP is dead; despises democracy
LONG LIVE DEMOCRACY 🇺🇸
Put up MANY Offenses, they have to put up more defenses than they can handle.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social Raskin also but couldnt get his link to pull up.
In a related note, I think what the Democratic State Attorneys Generals have been doing to file lawsuits against the administration's actions deserves praise too.
An excellent group of those who are smart, articulate, compassionate, and faithful to the Constitution and the rule of law!
Couple with his way with words, Pete isn’t afraid to go on “conservative” media networks and absolutely decimate their talking points.
He is brilliant, not just at communication.
Meanwhile, elected Dems should be doing town halls, amplifying how their own constituents are hurting from these policies.
and I'm curious, should he announce a run for Prez or Senate, if the same people pushing this "messenger/press secretary" role will be as vocal in their support of him running for higher office.

Because he's brilliant.
And laser-focused.
Americans should be beating their representatives in the streets for underfunding the FDA, CDC, NIH.
FDA a decade ago, 60% of the drugs coming into this country do not have the compounds they are supposed to have.
Flood w phonecalls YOUR LIFE LITERALLY DEPENDS ON THIS. Call repubs every day! Shut off this Mueller woman surrendering all her power as a resident in USA to 1 “super hero”. Get real!
He is one. AOC is one. Jasmine Crockett. You can see already that AOC is a worry to them, or they wouldn't be threatening her with the DOJ.
Listen to the people. You're failing. We don't want you and your Hallmark card slogans. We want fighters. Bold, unafraid, merciless, brutal. Think Mitch McConnell from the Obama years on. Buttigieg is the fighter we need.
Remember Cuomo during the pandemic? 12 Noon everyday and everyone watched. Why aren’t they doing this for their people dammit!
This is just a power grab.
You’ll never hear me say anything bad about Pete.
I would gladly, willingly follow Pete Buttigieg
Please rise up and help lead us out of the fascist nightmare!
We are all voices! We should be amplifying everything everywhere we go.
All of us together are messengers.
That doesn’t mean loud defiance isn’t important.
Let me ask you this...
What was the singular message that the Republicans employed that makes you think that such a thing will be so effective?
The real problem is that the whole "messaging" narrative is a scapegoat.
Until our society confronts its racism and misogyny, no messaging in the world will sidestep it.
Apparently, there is no way to label appropriately what passes for truth or news. So, when the GOP owns the show and the results are shitty, I think people may be open to alternatives, regardless of their level of bigotry.
My point is that looking for a singular "messenger" is not going to solve what happened in 2016 and 2024.
BTW, the same thing that happened then would happen to Pete were he to become the face of the party.
Messaging isn't the problem. Our society's bigotries are.
Bigotry is an enormous part of it. Absolutely. Much of it is the result of right wing media making vulnerable people the scapegoat for struggles. I dont see the argument here Pete being elementary during a shit storm is not a bad thing.
And, People (with more power than the average moe) who speak simply yet eloquently in a calm, and thoughtful manner are have a chance at swaying those who are not full-on Trumpers.
What was the centralized message that the Republicans had?
So many people believe that messaging alone will solve this, but can never show how that was an effective strategy for Republicans.
Hate and forced stupidity outweigh clever messaging to persuade the populace every single time.
It's a scapegoat to avoid having to actually reckon with that fact AND the fact that WE WHITE PEOPLE have to be loud and clear about changing our own 'culture'.
There is no message ... just a very hard conversation!
fighting against Felon tooth and nail.
Very disappointed she is not.
We need leaders out on the frontlines.
money has totally perverted our democracy.

We need younger leaders like @aoc.bsky.social and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social to take the reins.
so what is Plan B
and that Messenger then briefs that same day every week;
Like Pete B every Wednesday or every Friday...and others --like Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, Jamie Raskin ...and others can be weekly messengers also
