Choose Joy Over Darkness

Pete Buttigieg sends a positive message at thee 2024 DNC:

Darkness is what they are selling. The thing is, I just don’t believe that America today is in the market for darkness. I believe America is ready for a better kind of politics…

Right now, the other side is appealing to what is smallest within you. They’re telling you that greatness comes from going back to the past. They’re telling you that anyone different from you is a threat. They’re telling you that your neighbor or nephew or daughter who disagrees with you politically isn’t just wrong but is now the enemy.

I believe in a better politics, one that finds us at our most decent and open and brave. The kind of politics that Kamala Harris and Tim Walls are offering, and as you have felt these many days, that kind of politics also just feels better to be part of. There is joy in it as well as power…

This November we get to choose. We get to choose our president. We get to choose our policies, but most of all, we will choose a better politics. A politics that calls us to our better selves and offers us a better every day. That is what Kamala Harris and Tim Walsh represents. That is what Democrats represent. That is what awaits us when America decides to end Trump’s politics of darkness once and for all.
