The Democrats are campaigning on issues that used to be considered fringe.

Pete Buttigag, the mayor of South Maggi, put a jagged, just mayor Pete.

Mayor South Bend, Indiana is one of the gazillion Democrats running for president. He was asked if he

supports packing the Supreme Court to give liberals the edge by adding four justices.

Now, the New York Times reported that some in the crowd laughed, but the presidential hopeful,

mayor Pete, answered the question seriously. He said the idea should not be considered

abnormal, that it is mainstream. Former HUD Secretary Houdyan Castro is calling for a federal

study of reparations for African Americans. He's also attacking Bernie Sanders as a racist

for not supporting. Bernie wants to write checks for everything, but for black people.

Yeah, reparations and packing the courts. They were once considered fringe. So was Medicaid for

everybody with a $30 trillion price tag. And so was a green, new deal banning plans,

cowfarts, and our entire energy sector. Now, in the past, adult Democrats, especially those

running for president, wouldn't touch these issues with a 10-foot pole. They wanted to be taken

seriously. But you see, these are the new Democrats. And with this bunch, there's no such thing as

fringe. The cookier, the better because cookier is what and who they are.
