Anything to distract from the ongoing hostile government takeover…

Buttigieg on Tuesday stressed the importance of identifying which parts of the platform should be revisited, the areas in which a greater diversity of viewpoints should be tolerated and welcomed into the Democratic coalition, and when to provide room for disagreement and debate.
As an example, he took the matter of whether and in which circumstances athletes should be allowed to compete on sports teams that are consistent with their gender identity but inconsistent with their birth sex.
“I think we do need to revisit some of the things that we have had to say policy-wise that haven’t kept up with the times as a party,” he said, adding, “Americans may have questions about how to make sure sports are safe and fair, which I get.”
At the same time, “that doesn’t ever mean throwing vulnerable people under the bus,” Buttigieg said — and not just because that would be wrong, but also because it’s bad politics for Democrats.

By 2 to 1.
Rahm Emanuel is definitely setting up to run for President in 2028.
Put another asshole in the White House isn’t as compelling a message as he thinks. I hope.
Ugh. I can easily imagine the Dem contenders, a long list of corporate-funded bland sellouts, with one or maybe two slightly further left options (who will have no chance of securing the nomination).
Ugh, no one wants these mediocre neo-liberal repubilcan lite dudes running…
Like Newsom; he’s already making statements about the party needing to hop on the transphobia bandwagon.
Ugh!!! How about NO, dipshits.
