      In what ways?

      What has Pete done to make you believe he is going after an audience that would disagree with this statement and/or that he would now disagree with this statement?

      Your initial comment was that “2018 was a different time” I’m trying to understand what you think has changed so drastically since then.

        I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.
