Breaking News, RE: Secretary Pete

[elocs]

48. There are posters here who are idealistic, but naive.

Will there be elections in 2026 much less 2028? If there are elections, will they be fair and free? Why would Trump and Musk ever want there to be elections, especially if they are fair and free?

We also tend to believe that most other Democrats are like us for the most part, holding the basic principles of the Democratic Party, choosing to vote for a Democratic candidate.
But the election of Trump last year has led me to believe that we have those who have regularly voted Democratic but who just can't bring themselves to vote for a woman of color to be their president. Also, we have far too many Democrats who are complacent and overconfident because Trump didn't need to be beaten, he needed to be humiliated at the polls.

But unless Pete Buttigieg runs for the Senate in a solid Blue state, I don't think he will win.
And in our fantasy Democratic world he is easily elected president except for the millions of those who consider themselves Democrats who will refuse to vote for him.
Reality may suck, but it is what it is.
