I totally agree!! When do you think we can break the chip

Off of the Right’s shoulder and see intelligence instead of gay! I have always thought Mr Pete has been destined for GREAT THINGS!

Pete is the only person that I could see as President right now.

Pete 2028 sounds good. Hope he considers a run in 2028 (If we still are allowed to vote by then of course 🤦‍♀️)

GOP sees Mayor Pete as it's major threat in 2028!

It's time to organize. It's time to stop Trump. No waiting anymore. Get organized, get ready to fight for your country. When he defied 9-0 court ruiling it's no longer a theory, you factually live in a dictatorship. The rule of law is over.

Time for Americans to do something about it. Every person should stand against the Trump administration.

Trump and MAGAs literally have to do everything and anything they can to remain in power or they’ll end up in prison with how much criminality and damage they are doing. When does the House GOP become unafraid of Trump and do their jobs? 🤔

I feel bad for the people that didn't vote for Trump but like half of america that did not vote for him we have to pay the price for the stupidity of others. That's why I'm wearing these kinds of shirts everyday until this nightmare ends 👇

I never tire of hearing Pete speak with folks. Even at his most political he is coming from a place of honesty and empathy, and considered intelligence. Substance is his style.

From Mayor Pete to Secretary Pete to President Pete! Thank you for being a compassionate father for BIPOC children like ours. Please remember that many civil servants like my partner were fired by the fascists from their DEI careers - will you reinstate their positions as president? https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/dei-public-servant-fired

Appreciated Pete’s realistic insights into where the country and the Democratic Party stand in this moment. Truthfully, I’m in agreement with his views in what needs to change and moving into a more democratic and united republic way of supporting all people in the atmosphere of freedom.

I loved your conversation with Anand . He asked you some tough questions and your answers were spot on. Keep growing your presence in the public eye and run in 2028. What I love about you is that your answers and speech is not canned. You are authentic and the vast majority of Americans want that in a leader. I will vote for you in a heartbeat . 💓 I just hope the DNC doesn't get in your way. P.S. I changed my voter registration to Independent because the Dems are not meeting the moment. Great Interview!!

After Pete did the 3 hour interview on the Flagrant Podcast, it surprised me to see so many YT comments from Republicans/Trump voters who were blown away by him. What they liked most was exactly the same as you. Plus his intelligence and calmness. Eye opening moment.

Always find what Pete Buttigieg has to say substantive. At the end of the conversation, your comments about hard/dark times leading to the better times, this can be so true. It was one of the more uplifting observations I’ve heard in a long time. I needed that. Thank you Pete.

Pete, I understand, and I am very sensitive to the extreme stress that two years of campaigning and then 8 years as President will put on your husband and young family. But history, and a majority of the country is awaiting a decent person to vote for. Do not get me wrong, if the Republic holds, people will be ready to vote for a rock rather than the losers that allowed Trump to run rough-shot over the Constitution and our country. However, having a young, intelligent, well spoken Hero to vote for, would be a no brainer for Ds and moderate Rs alike. Even my Conservative friends, (while wanting the tax cut,) are tired of the Trumpers, and feel they have no party any longer. People are looking for a change, and it is not going to be found in the ranks of the same old losers running the Democratic Party. I know you consider yourself a Democrat, but you are one of the new breed we need to take over the defunct Democratic Party. Becoming President will allow you to rebuild the Country as well as the Party. Pete Buttigieg for President - 2028! Go Mayor Pete, Go!

You are a beacon of hope in a world of fear and doubt, Sec’y Pete! I campaigned for you in your run for the Presidency. You are a natural and honorable candidate to occupy the Oval Office one day.

It's always a pleasure to hear your thoughts on what is happening in this chaotic world! You always think about what you're going to say, unlike this administration. You are a big part of the future of this country, if we are to survive. Thank you for your service throughout your life.
