Pete Buttigieg: To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

..is for Democrats to embrace the progressive side of the Dem Party and NOT the Corporate Dem Party side.

A majority of ALL Americans want what the Progressives fight for.

Embrace Progressive Democrats and we all win.

Pete: please write down your stand!!!


People attending rallies in huge numbers are saying
YES to raising the minimum wage,
YES to expanding Social Security,
YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right,
YES to cutting the cost of prescription drugs,
YES to paid family and medical leave,
YES to equal pay for equal work,
YES to more affordable housing,
YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all,
YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.

And most importantly they are saying
YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.


KEEP IT SIMPLE AND POWERFUL
CUT THROUGH THE MAGA DECEPTION.



Elon and his band of billionaires take money out of your pocket and even spaghetti and meatballs off your table!!!!
