...to me, the essence of a modern Democrat is Pete Buttigieg.

I loved this post: Ooh.. That's Rich

We'll see what happens, even if there is an election since we have a Supreme Court that hates the US Constitution they swore to protect and have nonetheless no intention of protecting, a cabal of ignorant thugs more or less, but if there is an election, I'd love Pete to run.
