Pete Buttigieg Says He Is Considering a 2028 Presidential Run

60. I think Pete is inspirational

I think that just like in 2004 when Obama talked at the National Convention and got people's attention, Pete already has their attention, and will continue to sow hope and gain traction as he does town halls over the next 3 years.

2008 was a change year. And a Black man named Barack Hussein Obama got elected. Who could have seen that coming. 2028 will be a change year too. I don't think we should be discounting Pete.

In fact, I don't think we should be discounting a female President either. We very often follow a pattern in this country where we vote one party in for 4 or 8 years, then we vote the opposite party in. It is very unusual for the same party to win with different people back to back recently. So to me, Hillary's loss, and Kamala's loss are less about "we hate women and black women" (though it is partially about that) and more about anyone would have had a tough time winning in 2016 or in 2024. Voters were unhappy and wanted CHANGE. And when they want CHANGE, they will generally vote out the party in power, blaming them for inaction on whatever is not being changed the way they like it.

So I think Pete could win in 2028. And I think we all need to stop with the nonsense about only straight white Christian men from here on out. Why are we allowing the conservative racist bigoted Republican party to pick our candidate? That pisses me off. Why are we allowing Republican voters who are never going to change their vote to democrat to pick our candidate? We need to pick a candidate that is moderate, yes, but someone that democrats are excited about, like they were excited about Obama. And I think Pete has that energy. My Threads feed is EXPLODING with posts about Pete. There is so much enthusiasm.
