Pulling tens of millions of voters out of the Trump media rabbit hole expands the electoral map in ways that will humiliate & exterminate Trumpism. Forever.
Pete’s the guy to help future President Harris do it. Don’t miss this shot, Dems. The future of our country depends on it.

Why Pete? Here’s his reflection on coming out to conservatives.
“The idea we just sort people into baskets of good & evil ignores the central fact of human existence, which is that each of us is a basket of good & evil. The job of politics is to summon good & beat back evil.”

Been trying to articulate why Joe’s words about Pete were so meaningful. Think it’s this;
It’s been surreal to watch Pete’s core character attacked when so many of us supported him precisely bc of his integrity, honor & courage. Joe saw what we saw in Pete. It was validating.

“What makes you angry?”
Pete: “When people in a leadership role encourage those they lead to look at other human beings as something other than human. The root of most social evil is when a person becomes capable of looking at another person & seeing something besides humanity.”
22

Leadership isn’t about doing what’s politically expedient. It’s about confronting hard truths & doing the right thing regardless of the political consequences. I trust this man to do right by our country.

Mayor Pete isn’t really running against any individual or party. He’s running against the current state of our politics. Enough with the disingenuous twitter insults & cable tv chaos! With Pete, we’ve got a shot to center our politics around nuanced thought & good faith debate.

“I was the youngest guy on the stage but I felt like the folks around me were in a throwback to a dorm room debate about how conservative or how liberal the ideas were. It’s not just about ideology. It’s about who can lead & who can break through the status quo.”

“The more Kamala pulls ahead, the more you're going to see Trump revert to the only thing he knows how to do when he wants to get attention, which is get more and more outrageous."
Pete’s calm demeanor makes for the best antidote to the Trump chaos. The contrast is clear as day.
