EXCERPT:
BUTTIGIEG: "So, you know, a lot of what we’re talking about is no less a shattering of norms than what the other side has done. But we’re proposing it to do it in a way that’s more inclusive, I would say more constitutionally sound, more appropriate. And we'll, just by the nature of the checks and balances in our system, have to go through a very thoughtful and rigorous process. I think that if they try tinkering with the system — again, they are already doing it under the table in so many ways, but if they tried doing it more nakedly, they will encounter resistance because most Americans don’t want this. Most Americans don't want the conservative agenda we're now seeing, the extreme agenda we're seeing in Washington. In fact, it’s precisely for that reason that they have to interfere with democracy, with things like voter suppression or clinging on an Electoral College that overrules the will of the American people. It’s precisely because the American people by and large don’t want what they are selling. They are relying on manipulations of our political structure in order to keep their agenda in play."
