With the Senate about to debate Donald Trump and Mike Johnson’s Orwellian Big Beautiful Bill of deficit busting tax cuts for billionaires, robbing from the poor to give to the rich, and creating a police state, and Republicans like Rand Paul and Ron Johnson bellyaching that the bill does not cut spending for the middle class and poor people enough, former Transportation Secretary and possible Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg, during an appearance with comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz, excellently framed how Democrats should present their vision and goals for the country
Below are Secretary Buttigieg’s remarks:
“I want everyday life to be better… I want to be able to get up in the morning And the first thing you do, is, is you, you commute to work, and uh, and by the way, if you’re on an EV, I want that to be affordable for you, or if you’re on public transit, not to get back into the subway situation, but I want you to have good transportation to get to where you’re going. And then, when you get to that job, I want you to be paid well, and if you’re about to have a kid, I want you to know that you’re going to have parental leave when you have that kid, and if you don’t want to have a kid, I want you to have the the right to choose whatever kid, which means access to birth control and abortion, and those things that give you the freedom to decide on that. And if you already have a kid when you picked them up at school, I want that school to be good, not having its funding slash while they set fire to the Department of Education. And then, when you get home, I want you to be in a neighborhood that is safe and where you can breathe the air because we didn’t let them get rid of the Clean Air Act, and you don’t have to think for one moment about whether the area breathe or the water you drink is clean and clear, which actually takes a lot because it means the government has to constrain those actors that would make you unfree by polluting there and polluting the water. And then, when you go to bed, I want you to know that your family is going to be fine, even if a family like mine, despite there being some Supreme Court Justice who wants to obliterate your family because it doesn’t match his interpretation of his religion. Like that’s the life I want everybody to be able to live. Yeah, I think, and I think we can deliver that.”
Democrats should be delivering a message similar to this every day to the American People when also condemning all aspects of Trump/Vance/Johnson budget plan disaster for the country.

I admire Pete Buttigiege a lot. However the message that voters need to hear is that Democrats will bring
higher wages, lower prices, affordable rent and mortgages, and better jobs. These are kitchen table issues that voters understand.
