Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg offers a variety of ways he will change the Democratic platform if he can go back to 2020.
After the party’s decisive defeat in 2024, several prominent Democrats talked about how to change on America’s most pressing issues. Many Democrats believe that the party needs to adjust not only its tone, but its policies. Buttigieg had previously talked about how the party needs to stop alienating voters, and he is no exception.
Bulwark's political strategist Tim Miller released a new episode of the new podcast on Tuesday, and he interviewed Buttigieg. Miller mentioned the time-consuming DeLorean from "Back to the Future" and asked Buttigieg what advice he would give to his past and nominated Joe Biden to prevent the situation in the United States today.

"We feel very knee-jerk about it, and the cost is not only political, but in a profound way, I think that for a generation, the cost is huge, and I think anyone involved, in doing so, is clearly doing their best to deal with a crisis that kills a million Americans, but I think most of the people involved want to be able to open more schools more quickly."
The former transport secretary followed up with another key issue that has highlighted in recent years.
"Obviously, focus more on the boundaries," he said. "It's real, and it's going to be something you can't just take the time to deal with. By the way, these are super, you know, policy and politically, we're good in hindsight to reflect on that."

The third piece of advice he provides, especially to himself, is about the nature of how the economy is viewed.
"Three, even if you have your whole life of politics that the economy and work are the same thing, if you have a lot of jobs, it's a good economy, if you have problems with your job, it's a bad economy."
