Got to hand it to Pete Buttigieg.

His campaign made reforming the Electoral College and the Supreme Court a top priority. You can put my platform on a bumper sticker he said, "Freedom, Security, and Democracy". In 2019, that seemed a little quaint 2 me. Today, it needs no explanation.

I hope he seeks higher office in the future and gets to implement some of these policies.

My guess is yes. How far will he get? Can he beat Newsom?
