    How 'bout you just do something good for people. All this “he’s a scumbag” noise is going to get nothing done, and isn’t going to win the midterms. Everybody who doesn’t already know he’s a scumbag is not going to learn it now.

      What specifically would you like Pete Buttigege, former Transportation secretary and former mayor of South Bend Indiana to do?

      As far as I know Pete isn’t even employed right now.

        I didn’t realize that HN is career had ended.

        Seriously though, if he is up to chrping about Epstein, why not chirp about programs that help people, about restoring democratic institutions so that they help people again. As a former mayor and Transport minister, can he not talk about infra that helps people and describe escape making moralism the basis of his platform.

          Actually he’s really good at talking about those things. But you haven’t heard it. Which I think proves his point because here you are, talking about this.
