You can always tell when empathy is real.

(4,609 posts)simply but effectively stated, totally lacking in the orange, hate-mongering baboon currently occupying and disgracing the Oval Office.

(612 posts)His empathy is both personal, and expresses forcefully what people of good will also feel. Pete exudes presidential character.

(612 posts)What exactly are you referring to? Pete Tweeted around 5:30, and Joe Tweeted around 7:20. Is there some problem that I'm not aware of?

(43,399 posts)I like Twitter use by our Democratic politicians a lot. AOC, Pete, Beto, Harris, Warren, Ted Lieu (my Rep in California) etc, are masters.

(612 posts)We live in a Twitter age, and lots of folks communicate that way. Personally, I don't, but practically everybody I know uses Twitter. It has become a perfectly acceptable way to say things both trivial and important.
Thanks for the info, Celerity!

(43,399 posts)I disagree with the people criticising the use of Twitter by politicians for things like this, it is not 'undignified'. It is an immediate response and if done well, helps and comforts.

(9,865 posts).....had his eye on Pete even before he had national name recognition.
It was after the T victory and the Obama's were packing up to leave. The WH atmosphere was described as feeling "like a morgue". Some pundit asked Obama what Democrat did he think might be a good candidate to replace T in 2020.
Obama said something like, "This guy, Pete Buttigieg, is spretty interesting."
Pete's tweet is the kind of thing Obama was talking about, I think.
