Feel free to sling some shit (thoughtful critiques) at Democrats. I won't bolt, even if there's mean words. I fully adhere to "starting with the man in the mirror" approach to life and politics.
Please post your opinion of Buttigieg. I will not hold it against you. I subscribed because you let it all hang out. We all know that he's gay and would turn off the straights who won't admit their prejudice. But what else? Pray tell.
As I recall *foggily, South Bend had a black reform-minded police chief who got pushed out by people who oppose such police reforms, and Pete didn't intervene on that guy's behalf when he could've, maybe should've. (That could be 90% inaccurate.)
I’m not sure I’d characterize him as reform-minded, but others may have reported that. I posted the guide to my own Buttigieg reporting, with links that may jog foggy memories: https://thefuckingnews.substack.com/p/the-buttigieg-files
Strike-throughs are good. You could do more and it still wouldn't be too awkward to read.

Love the strike throughs, they make a powerful point with brevity
The strike-through are educational and help us discern the subtle and not so subtle differences that language choice can make in “news” reporting.
I love this explanation for something I was doing without consciously understanding it. Thanks!
Carol Brownson, you are right. I don't remember what Pete did as mayor of South Bend. If anyone does, please enlighten us.

Seems to me l recall some serious reporting on his actions as Mayor back in TYT days?
Didn't it have to do with his police chief and covering things up?
I think so. I hope we can see those articles again.

I suppose the reform was: Stop these racist crackers from knifing me in the back?
If so, that doesn’t seem to have panned out…
Ugh! I actually softened it quite a bit!
