I Want Pete Buttigieg to be the Next DNC Chair
Even if we had won. We have had and continue to have a messaging/perception problem for decades.
Our policies are popular. Republicans policies are unpopular. And with the state of the Republican Party we should have a veto proof majority. So why don’t we?
Two Reasons stand out to me:
1.)Most people don’t like us. We come across as weak, indecisive, pedantic, and smug.
2.) We are easy to divide. If we show too much love to one group another group feels left out. But when we make sure we speak to each group individually then we get labeled as the party of identity politics.
So we need to clean up our image and simplify our message. And Pete is the best communicator we have. Or it would be nice if maybe Obama came out of retirement to run the DNC? Or Eric Holder? I think he’d be effective like Howard Dean. But we also need to clear out the dinosaurs. How can we be the party of the future when we look so old. Kamala was a brilliant candidate, but she alone couldn’t carry the dead weight of the party. But she tapped into something with the message of Freedom and helped us reclaim the flag and patriotism.
The next 4 years are going to be hell. And I think we need to be more selective about how we attack Trump. Personally, I think people would like and benefit from some hard truths. When something terrible that he promised to do, I think we need to collectively all say, “He ran on this, the American people voted for him, we’re getting what the majority of people said they wanted. If you want something different you need to get your ass up, register to vote, and vote in every election. If we don’t vote, we’re getting what we deserve.”
