"I think the challenge for a party that cares about institutions is to make clear our message, especially now when people can't tell if we have a proactive message or just an opposition message," he added. "We do have a proactive message," he said, before uttering his 16-word solution: "It's about making sure government works for people and serves us well and enhances our freedom.""
"President Donald Trump has caused widespread chaos by working quickly to dismantle federal agencies, terminate thousands of their workers and freeze billions of dollars in government grants to various work groups. But gay former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg succinctly explained how Democrats can present a winning message to counter Trump's actions. During a recent talk at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics, Buttigieg explained that the Democratic party "cares about institutions" that keep the nation running,"
The Democratic party values institutions that keep the nation running but must avoid appearing to defend the status quo uncritically. Many existing policies, including in transportation, contained persistent problems; some were changed while others remained in need of reform. Democrats should insist that government work differently and better without advocating the destruction of institutions. The party must present a proactive, concrete message rather than merely opposing the other side. A concise policy focus emphasizes ensuring government functions for people, serves citizens effectively, and enhances individual freedom, while also pursuing targeted changes to improve institutional performance.
