That darn Pete Buttigieg, getting my hopes up

[BootinUp]

“ As one year comes to a close and a new one is on the horizon, I’m reflecting on the opportunity we have in front of us for 2026 to be a year of positive and dramatic change for the country - if we stay focused. 

I’m looking forward to doing my part, and I know you are too. “

1. I hope

That's a hint...... K&R

2. He founded Win The Era Pac. It's a brilliant and viable movement

and is still working to ensure funding for people who see the need for change and can bring together needed collective knowledge, expertise, and energy to set the ship of state back onto a course that serves all the people and the protection of democracy.

He seems aware the job to fix what is broken is bigger than any one person in one public office can ever hope to accomplish. He looks long term. He knows what good can come from a curated team of wise, caring, honest people. He saw that up close with the team Biden built. Expanding that movement nationwide is probably the best thing Pete can do in these times.

I hope he doesn't limit himself by running for one office. We need inspiration to gather, elect, support the efforts of good movers and shakers. There's too much work to be done to hang it all on one really good man.

3. He might be hinting at a run for governor in Michigan, not president in 2028. Nt

4. Is Pete in your "top 10"?

5. Would love to spend the last 16 years of my life with Gavin and Pete in the White House!!

Might even see America great again in my lifetime if that comes to fruition. (I truly believe it's going to take a generation for America to recover from the Trump regime.)

6. Hope is a beautiful thing, and a necessary one.

9. I would really like this man to be our second gay President.

The first gay President, James Buchanan, was a disaster, but has recently be rescued from the title of worst President ever by the Orange Pedophile.

It has generally been the good fortune of the United States to follow a disastrous Presidency with a good or great one; Buchanan was followed by Lincoln.

It would be nice, in my view, to have a great gay President follow our new worst President, our first pedophilic President, hopefully the last.

Maybe it's a pipe dream, but I'm in for Pete for President.

10. Great Guy

Sadly though, I don't believe we could win against the gay haters. I do believe it will happen one day, but am concerned about when.
