39. I agree. And it should absolutely be Pete

Right now we have no message. The impression is that we are doing nothing. That may not be true, maybe people are sort of doing stuff behind the scenes? Maybe? But how it LOOKS is like Trump is doing all this strong man, powerful STUFF and it's getting reported on like crazy, and democrats are just SILENT. Sitting on their hands. No plan. No ideas. No thoughts on where to go next. No leadership. It's not a good look!

We need to get out there and get organized and start DOING something and start talking and start fighting back and being visible and articulate, and Pete Buttigieg would be the perfect person to articulate that message.
