Trump belongs to the "government sucks" party. He's allowed to lack experience. Buttigieg does not. Like it or not, as the "government is good" party we Democrats get held to higher standards and are actually expected to govern and be adults.

How are we expected to govern when the government is hollowed out and burnt to ashes? The Dems of the future need to represent policies that won't be business as usual and bold and new ideas for how to build a new world from the ground up.

The good news is now that we are the challenging party, we can run on "change" and "everything sucks" and get away with it. And "being bold" requires the American electorate to want to go through with it.

Yeah, good points.

Although I think being more than just that maximizes opportunities for Democrats as long as such an agenda does not mean they have to be inundated with more taxes or expenses.

With inflation, Democrats needs to be laser focused on thinking consciously on how this is affecting everyday Americans.
