But the reason I say \u2018really\u2019 is we just passed one of the biggest pieces of infrastructure legislation in American history. It was a promise, and it wasn\u2019t just a promise that the Biden-Harris administration made or that us Democrats made in 2020. This is a promise that every president and every Congress has made in some way shape or form for as long as I\u2019ve been an adult, and we actually did it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are big, broad things, and that\u2019s great,\u201d Charlamagne Tha God interjected. \u201cBut I\u2019m talking about things like things you campaigned on like the George Floyd Policing Act and the fact that our voting rights, man, like 19 states have implemented voter suppression bills. You know, that\u2019s going to directly impact us the most and the only strategy Democrats are gonna have is we have got to go out there and vote in mass numbers to fight it. That\u2019s not a strategy, hope is not a strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buttigieg then said that \u201cmobilization is a strategy\u201d and that Charlamagne Tha God is \u201cright\u201d in that the work to combat voting laws is \u201cnot done\u201d but \u201chas to get done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Co-host Angela Yee jumped in to argue that female reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights are being stripped away, including in the education system, seemingly making reference to Florida\u2019s new parental bill of rights law which prohibits teachers from discussing sex and gender identity to students in kindergarten through third grade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut look, I don\u2019t think anyone on our side is satisfied with how far we\u2019ve come on whether it\u2019s the George Floyd Policing Act, whether it\u2019s voting rights, what I\u2019ll say is we\u2019re pushing for as much as we can get in terms of results in Congress and taking whatever executive actions are available to use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buttigieg then said most action happens at the state and local level. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/02\/10\/rep-byron-donalds-democrats-lose-ground-black-voters-republicans-opportunity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: REP.
