He’s not my guy, policy-wise, but I’d be very happy (and surprised) if he were somehow our next president…

He’s clearly smart and an extremely good communicator, which is probably more important for a president than policy details (assuming they’re not nutso on policy). And having our first openly LGBTQ+ POTUS would be awesome. Yes, I’d prefer an advocate for a more progressive policy package, but he’d be great.

while he has his own electability issues, Mayor Pete appears to be a man who is uniquely positioned to bridge the gaps between the DSA aligned dems and the traditional dem establishment.

I like Mayor Pete. Enjoy watching the Fox network repeatedly attempt & fail to trap him in interviews.*

I don't think that the DSA types like him. (nm)

I love Pete B but this racist country of ours is not ready to put a gay man in the white house. But he needs to have a key cabinet role in Osoff, Shapiro, Newsome, or whomever.’s White House. Really love the way he attacks Trump but lays out solutions too. Nm

Pete still is too close to the traditional dem establishment...
