The conversation between Charlemagne and Buttigieg clearly shows the disconnect between politicians and people. In this case it's a progressive politician and a black democrat.

"You do realize Pete, a lot of black people feel like Democrats have kept no promises since they’ve been in office,” Charlamagne told Buttigieg during Friday’s edition of the hit radio show.

“Really?” responded the former South Bend, Ind. mayor, raising his eyebrows in disbelief.


"Look I get it, because the work is not done,” Buttigieg said. “But the reason I say ‘Really?’ is we just passed one of the biggest pieces of infrastructure legislation in American history. It was a promise — and it wasn’t just a promise that the Biden-Harris administration made or that Democrats made in 2020 — this is a promise that every president and Congress has made in some way, shape, or form since I’ve been an adult. We actually did it.”

"But those are big, broad things,” Charlamagne pushed back. “And that’s great but I’m talking about things you campaigned on, like the George Floyd Policing Act.”

The typical democrat doesn't care much about progressive ideas. The black democrat cares even less. Buttigieg being surprised shows how out of touch with the people he and his progressive buddies are and it should show democrats the same.
