He’s already completed his undergrad degree. I see a great future.

Pete Buttigieg on now in his private capacity.
He’s one of the sharpest minds in the Cabinet.

David Hogg is under constant harassment and threats to his life for his activism.

He is someone who exhibits amazing courage.

He handled the situation quite well. While she was yelling at him, he just kept on walking.

I hope he stays on this path, stays safe, and ends up in a leadership capacity. At my age I might not be around for it, but I cheer him on.

2. I got a text message from him today & would've responded

but I already gave last night. He is awesome and relentless. I signed up for his texts back when we did the "march for our lives" in 2018, and he is constantly working to make the US safer.

4. Young people in my family say tiktok is going nuts over Kamala.

They love her.
They are dreaming of a Pete Buttigieg VP.

They have all kinds of memes, nicknames, and references already made up.
I don't understand any of it, but get the drift.

9. Once Taylor Swift endorses her, Tik Tok will go bananas!

It'll not only mobilize an army of voters, but piss the MAGAts off immensely.

19. If David Hogg can get that many donations so far...

then I hope the Swifties pony up some money too, even if all they can give is $10. I've seen plenty of them spend that much on a Starbucks drink. Maybe TS can urge them to do that. Heck, she's got enough fans that even $5 each would be a huge sum.

21. I agree. It is mind boggling how much money TS could raise.

And how many votes she could send to Kamala.
