Buttigieg Has a Warning for Democrats

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sat down with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki and gave his party some advice about which political strategy they would do best to avoid.

“The truth is, proto-authoritarian governments do not just come out of nowhere,” he said on “The Briefing With Jen Psaki." “We would not be here in this situation if the government, the economy, and the politics of our country were healthy. They’ve been unhealthy for a long time.”

Buttigieg explained Democrats need to articulate to voters how they would be different from Republicans on issues such as taxes, health care, and wages. 

“This is not a question of accommodating things that we don’t agree with or watering down or changing our values,” he said. “It is a question that we have to make very clear to everybody, how your everyday life is different if we’re in charge compared to if they’re in charge. What your life could be like if wages went up the way we propose they be raised, what we would do with the money if we successfully stopped the tax cuts for the wealthy that are at the core of Donald Trump's economic agenda. What we think could happen in the country where we have paid family leave and some of the unfinished business of fixing the healthcare system..." 

Buttigieg said the Democratic Party cannot continue on the same path if they want to win elections going forward.

“If my party seems like it’s calling for a return to a status quo from before, that would be both substantively wrong and politically it will fail,” he continued.
