Pete Buttigieg is such a wonder.

He will make a fine President someday. Really well done article-
This excerpt caught my eye…


Fears about masculinity are a way into the fear of displacement. Masculinity establishes a default place, and that place is being shifted and threatened by modernity. A man as the head of the household. The only one who earns income. The default leader in any social or political organization.

The politicization of masculinity is code for Nothing in your life has to change. The problem is, of course, lots of things have to change. Either because there was something wrong with the old way—or because, even as the old way seemed perfectly fine, it’s not an option.

2. He is most definitely a wonder!

I was a volunteer in his campaign, gave money and time, and even got to meet him and his husband Chasten!

So very intelligent! Always answers the question. Had no problem going on Fox Noise, because they wouldn't know who he was if he had stayed away.

He will be a very find President someday. I hope to live long enough to see it happen, and to help it happen.

3. Good interview. Well written. Another quote from Pete

You could add that to the list: Bud Light, Coke, football, Disney … and the Army. You can only put yourself on the wrong side of so many red, white, and blue American institutions, and the question becomes, Is this about you?

4. If/When Pete is on the ballot, I am going to set new records for door knocks...

That man is a gift to all of us. His approach, his intellect, his compassion. I hope this nation has an equal and opposite reactionary swing AWAY from the hate and vitriol of the modern MAGA movement, that the laws of physics are reflected in the laws of politics.

We need a miracle, and Pete can be that for us in the near future...

5. "When it comes to neoliberalism, we got mugged by reality. That's one cheeky way to put it."

Lol OK buddy.
