I do know it, but I'm tired of fighting the character limit in this type of forum. However, he did say the first part, and that part is what he said first, as it is the most important part of it. You know he said it, and know he actually cares. But he also cares for everyone but you dismiss that.

Let's see, from Pete's interview he says: "the approach starts with compassion. compassion for transgender people, compassion for families, especially young people who are going through this." Yeah, I agree with that.

You seem to be "agree with me or you're horrible." So much for understanding.

Trump Didn't Once Say Republicans Are the 'Dumbest Group of Voters' We first wrote about the quote in 2015.

What happened to checking claims?

Yes, I've already watched it.

The question remains.

You're spot-on regarding the need for a candidate who we WANT in office, not just someone who isn't the other guy.

The GOP went for someone who was as extreme and divisive as possible. Some of us (many) are tired of divisiveness.

If Bernie were "clearly and obviously" the better candidate, then he would have gotten the nomination. Leave the conspiracy theories and poor loserism to MAGA.

What "doomed" Hillary (and Biden) was their own egos.

How so?

In what way did we lose Pete?

Uncharted territory? Perhaps in US history, but it seems very familiar in mid-1930s Germany.

What does @petebuttigieg.bsky.social think about the dust-up regarding Pete's remarks on NPR regarding trans?

Obama's primary goal was to change the time in Washington. Less one party rule and more teaching across the aisle. Suggesting he was a fraud because he couldn't get to your particular agenda item is disingenuous. He wanted to be a team player, apparently that's not your thing.

Ah, an absolute purity test. Pete was obviously interested in empathy for all, not just for some. Too bad that isn't universal.

And you never answered the question about Obama.

Not at all. But this doesn't sound like an "attack" (your word):
I think the approach starts with compassion. compassion for transgender people, compassion for families, especially young people who are going through this, and also empathy for people who are not sure what all of this means for them.

What did you think of Obama? Yes, it is pertinent to the conversation.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like an attack.

What statement did Pete make against trans people? Yes, I saw an interview from yesterday, just trying to be sure what *specifically* set you off.

Looking forward to the next election is good, though what's the issue with understanding what happened in the past? Isn't that how we learn? Isn't that how we avoid repeating mistakes?

"Thank you" to everyone who was complaining about Pete's trans comments on a recent NPR interview. Got me to watch the whole thing, and all I have to say is: I'm liking Pete more than I was before.

There was *nothing* disqualifying about Pete's reasonable position.

Newsom has less chance than Biden. No more Biden.

Why do you think it's winnable?

Are you talking about Buttigieg or Newsom?

Didn't look like Kamala Harris was a choice.

MAGA much?

MAGA much?
