Friends: Let’s show the world that we are not going back to the darkness. Let’s offer up a United States of America that is once again the beacon of light and hope for the world - where anything is possible! This is the ticket:

Imho, it’s wrong to think about this election using tired models, old maps, & 2020 assumptions. So much has changed! Florida may be in play! Swifties & GenZ are ready! The ticket that has cross-generational/bipartisan appeal & can deliver multiple states is:
#HarrisButtigieg2024
Who agrees? That Pete is the kind of VP candidate who has wide-ranging appeal and can help deliver all 50 states? All we need to do is put him with

on the ballot! 💙☺️

Let’s be real. The best cross-generational candidate who can activate a broad spectrum of the base, including GenZ, is

Happy VP Pick Day to all my

friends! Let’s keep the positive vibes & exuberance going today. I still believe Pete is The ONE, a bold, moonshot choice that will energize the base & cause a Blue Tidal Wave that will lift down-ticket candidates & win!

@BeschlossDC
Pete Buttigieg! One of the most wholesome, talented, likable, & articulate souls Dems r lucky enough to call their own. He has cross-generational appeal & can help KH deliver swing states and beyond. And if someone else says, America’s not ready for a gay VP, my head will 🤯💙🐝
Thank you to everyone who heard the call and followed me! This outpouring of support has been so heartwarming and inspiring! Just a note: Twitter is limiting how many of you I can follow back. But have no fear, I will get to you sooner or later! 💙🤗🙏🏼🐝🌊

We've been reposted 627 times. Thousands of follows to FB. Clifford has been in Twitter jail for most of the day, so it could be days before he gets everybody back.
Thanks for the follows. I got you back.
@admcrlsn
And leaving out the popular favorite, Pete Buttigieg? What’s that about? If you ask me, with just one year in office, Shapiro’s duty right now is to the voters of PA who put him in office. Why can’t he still help deliver PA for Kamala as a popular sitting governor?

Dear fellow 💙🌊 friends: Thank you for your follows! Please know I am following back as quickly as possible. BUT Twitter only allows me to follow 50 people at a time before I’m jailed. Please be patient with me, I have thousands to get to. I PROMISE I will follow you back asap!

@MattKangaroo
Please explain to me, because I don’t get it: Why can’t Shapiro still deliver PA as the popular sitting Governor? Why ONLY as VP candidate?
@nerdypursuit
He could be 10,000x more qualified than the next candidate, but there will always be that dreaded turn of thought: “I love Pete, BUT… (fill in the blank, usually with America’s not ready; his sexuality will turn off rural voters; he can’t deliver a state…)”. 😩😭🤯
@jgmonte922
I feel ya. I basically ignored twitter until recently. If it’s not Pete, I will slip back into obscurity. Yes, I will happily vote for Kamala in November. But the dancing in the street? Not so much.

@Me93225228
Ready for what? An accomplished politician & successful member of the admin, who’s highly articulate & likable w/ national campaign experience & a loyal supporter base, who served in Afghanistan, & now has Jim Clyburn’s endorsement? Oh yea, he’s a gay family man😱
@nerdypursuit
I’m trying to remain positive but bracing for a gut punch that will leave me a mess for days. I try to comfort myself by thinking, well it it isn’t Pete, I’ll have a lot more money because I won’t be sending every dime I have to him and KH… 🥹😅🤣😭
OMG I can’t focus on anything else. Just Pete Pete Pete. I’m happily (but probably unhealthily) obsessed with this

Hi everyone! I still have over 2,000 “follow backs” to get to. As you know, I can only do 50 at a time before Elon blocks me from doing any more. I promise to get to everyone eventually! Please be patient with me. Thank you!! 💙🙏🏼🌊
@TrekkiesforPete
I expect MAGA trolls/haters but it’s much more difficult and hurts more when it’s fellow Dems throwing shade just because I support
#HarrisButtigieg2024
. I have NEVER attacked another Dem for their choice for VP. Gotta keep the eye on the prize… 😉💙🐝
@RationalWins
Alarmed? By one of the most likeable, well spoken, successful, and talented politicians the Democrats are lucky enough to call their own? That leaves the only explanation for your alarm is the fact that he’s gay? Really shitty, if true. 🥺
Despite my tears and 💔, this is the second best and a great ticket. I need time to process, but
#IKnowTheAssignment
Pete’s not going anywhere and still has greatness ahead of him 💙🐝🇺🇸
It looks like the left side loves Tim Walz. And that's great that the Harris/Walz ticket will bring them into our Democratic tent up and down the ballot.
This is a win.
For anyone wondering why or annoyed that I haven’t yet followed them back, this is why 👇 I’m in Elon’s jail for following back too many people. I promise I will follow you back as soon as possible!! 💙🌊🙏🏼🐝🦅🇺🇸
@RadioFreeTom
Wow! Dems excited about a possible Buttigieg VP slot and you trash them? What an effing Debbie Downer you are. Makes me wonder why you harbor such contempt for a

ticket
@CocteauTwinn64
It’s bold. It’s the moon shot ticket. Risky? Yes. But why don’t we just stop being afraid and be a beacon of light and hope for the world again? 💙💪🏽🌈💥🌊🇺🇸
As I said 👇, I am 💯 aboard the
#HarrisWalz2024
train. But if you’ll excuse me, I have some uncontrollable sobbing to do first. See ya later
#TeamPete

@DogginTrump
With all due love & respect, I will 💯 be onboard the Harris/—- train. But if it’s not Pete, I hope you will allow me a little gnashing of the teeth, vomiting, and a 24-hr self-imposed bedroom exile to compose myself before tackling the assignment? 😅🥹💙🌊🇺🇸
@nerdypursuit
I second your “HELL NO”. Pete is a gentleman & would never get mixed up in a tit for tat w/ another Dem. At the same time, I will not stand by while someone says Pete should stand down because he’s gay & America “is not ready”. That’s a load of malarkey!
#HarrisButtigieg2024
@Harvard1988
@KamalaHarris
Kelly is a hero & a fine candidate. But I will never be convinced that he can excite and turn out young voters (12 million turned voting age since 2020) better than Pete Buttigieg. Kelly is 60 versus Pete’s 42 years. If we are serious about generational change, Pete’s our man.

@PeteButtigieg
? The man is one of America’s most likable and talented politicians!
@admcrlsn
It's ironic to me that you're asking everyone to chill out and then deliberately exclude a front runner.
I'm getting really tired of the Pete erasure. It seems like it's on purpose.
So, Pete Buttigieg is speaking Wednesday at the DNC.
I'm not sure why he's being left off nearly ALL the graphics being made.
It's absolutely disrespectful.
@nerdypursuit
And for the record, I will 💯 back whoever Kamala picks. But tbh, Shapiro is my least favorite of the choices. Idk but something doesn’t sit right. I also think it is wrong to pull the rug out from under PA voters’ feet & steal away their governor after just one year of service
@DesertYETI84
@DenaePFA
Pete was completely erased. He’s not even mentioned by the MSM as ever having been a serious candidate. So, forgive me if I don’t trust the idea that Pete will be kept on in the next administration. 😭
So, I’m not obsessed with my number of followers. BUT I am a bit disappointed by all the folks who promised to “follow back” if I followed them. Well, as you can see by my numbers, that hasn’t worked out so good. 😭

A little break from politics: A new episode of Poetry Passages. Written in the 1960s, this poem by James Wright remains a timeless classic: "Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota". Don't miss that gut punch of punchline! :)
@DenaePFA
I hate the “weird” mantra. It minimizes the dire dangers posed by the other side. I hops it’s an effective way to draw folks’ attention to that, but for me it’s getting hokey already. Definitely not a line of attack Pete would take. He’s too classy.

Just my two cents which means absolutely nothing. Putting Pete Buttigieg on as VP would awaken a sleeping giant. The energy, the enthusiasm, the rise up of intellectualism and compassion for all Americans would break the internet!

@TurnTexas_Blue
Logical and credible- but boring. This ticket should be a game changer, a moonshot, a generational shift of Teutonic plates - one that will set young voters, GenZ, people of color, the LGBQT+community, and future former Republicans on fire!

Back as a 12-year old, I was fascinated by this photo. Not scared but in awe. To me, Gene wasn’t a human but a mythological god (of thunder) ⚡️⚡️

I am still rooting for Pete, will be very happy with Walz, and cool with Kelly. Shapiro? He needs to stay in PA and help deliver that state for Harris. 😉

Whew! You scared me, Nancy. You can’t leave us yet (or ever). Your light shines bright and the darkness doesn’t have s chance against it. Keep on shining! ☺️✨💖
Tim Walz is an exceptionally effective governor - and also great to work with. I’m excited for what his Midwestern voice, military experience, and common-sense values will bring to our winning ticket, and for everything the Harris-Walz administration will deliver for Americans.
