Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg conceded in an interview published on Tuesday that the Democrat Party's failure to “command” the backing of low-income voters in the 2024 election cycle was a “huge problem.” 

Ya think?

Speaking with The New York Times, Buttigieg acknowledged that despite years of lofty promises (bald-faced lies, in many cases), Democrats have alienated working-class Americans whose daily struggles have been largely ignored in favor of cultural talking points and trashing President Donald Trump.

Yeah, that — fixation with Trump, while they have zero ideas on how they plan to help working-class Americans, or anyone else. 

Buttigieg's comments suggested what many of us have long argued: Democrats incessantly talk about representing "ordinary people," "women," and "children," while steadily losing their trust.

Under the absurd headline "Pete Buttigieg on Rebuilding America After Trump" — as if the Democrats will be forced to "fix" the country after Trump leaves office — Buttigieg inadvertently revealed a huge, self-inflicted problem, telling The NY Times he thinks his party should be more concerned with winning over the support of “constituencies” that the party previously “counted on.”

Translation: "The Democrat Party should be more concerned about pandering to the base it has exploited for six decades — dating back to President Lyndon Johnson's disastrous War on Poverty.

Buttigieg, a likely 2028 presidential candidate wannabe, pontificated mightily:

Sooner or later, one day Donald Trump will not be active in American politics. And the sooner we spend our energy thinking about what to do next, I actually think the sooner that day will come.

In addition to agreeing that there should be introspection about many of the constituencies our party counted on, I would highlight an exceptionally important constituency: poor people. I haven’t seen a definitive, quantified answer on whether Democrats lost the vote of poor people in 2024.

So I think there is a real trajectory [for the Democrat Party] — as our nation, in total and on average, has grown wealthier and wealthier — where the concentration of that wealth and the difficulty of getting ahead have made people question whether they’re going to get ahead in their own lives. They relate that to a bigger national picture of us being on the wrong track.

Just one question, Pete — for now, anyway:

Joe Biden's presidency was arguably the worst in U.S. history — with much of the misery intentionally created by his administration — as millions of illegal aliens waltzed across the Southern Border, with Joe and the Democrat Party insisting (lying about) a need for congressional legislation to shut down the border. 

How long did it take Trump to get it done, Pete? 

And without congressional approval. That was just beginning of Trump delivering on campaign pledges he made throughout the 2024 presidential election campaign.

Wait — another question: How'd Biden do on delivering on promises he made during the 2020 presidential campaign, Pete? Never mind — the question is rhetorical.

Surprisingly, Buttigieg's comments on the Biden-Harris Border Crisis™ were mostly right — regarding the Democrats' failure to read the proverbial tea leaves about the country's reaction to the millions of illegals flowing across our border, that is.

We were wrong to downplay the importance of what was happening on the border. It’s clear that we thought some of what we were hearing was overblown when actually it was impacting people in a real way. Democrats could have paid more attention.

I also believe that what’s happening on the border is the result of a lot of cynical Republican politics — blocking bill after bill over the last 20 years to ensure it stayed a problem because it helps them politically. 

Still, there is a substantive concern that my party just didn’t accept the importance of that issue, both the real and the political importance. We need to contend with that.

Still, Buttigieg was a bit disingenuous in "forgetting" Biden and the  Democrat Party welcomed as many illegal aliens into the country as they could get away with. Big mistake.

First, a blatant attempt to pander to the Hispanic community in the country (which failed miserably, and second, believing (hoping) that at some point in the future, millions of illegals would be given U.S. citizenship, and would overwhelming vote Democrat. Again a "yuuuge," as the Donald might say, miscalculation.

At the end of the proverbial day, the Democrat Party is more concerned with settling on the "right" messaging, and performative theater — and of course hating on all things Trump — than in developing substantive policies to help better the lives of the citizens of this country, at least as much as they're hellbent on protecting and propping up illegal aliens.

Note: The Schumer Shutdown continues. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown over healthcare for illegals.
