As usual, Pete is spot on with his rhetoric, but rhetoric is not enough; we need action. If he wants to lead, he needs to make the personal sacrifice of meeting grassroots organizations that have moved millions of us and join the organizing.

Pete Buttigieg@petebuttigieg.bsky.social

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Please listen again. He already has been, plus he's been meeting with & teaching students on Thursdays, I just saw that he was volunteering at food pantry in NYC while there for other business, he's meeting w/others to work to reach the people who are not plugged in to the news.

I listened. Working at food pantries, teaching students on Thursdays, and reaching people who are not plugged in are important, vital work. If that is his path, I support him. However, he has the capacity to lead, and a leader inspires others to do that work so he can do bigger things.

I have no doubt he's organizing. Remember, he doesn't currently have a govt job, so he taught for a couple months to earn a paycheck, spent some time with his 3 1/2 yr old twins (he worked & traveled a ton as secretary, & he's planning. Remember, members of Congress have coffers to pay for rallies.

There are several creative ways to raise money, such as GoFundMe, starting a political campaign, and eliciting donations etc Leaders figure these things out. I'm sure he is capable; he may just not have the calling.
