A Brief Bio of Pete Buttigieg

Pete belongs to the generation that came of age with school shootings, the generation that provided the majority of the troops in the conflicts after 9/11, the generation that is on the business end of climate change, and the generation that—unless we take action—stands to be the first to be worse off economically than their parents.

Pete is laying out a vision, values, and policies to ensure that America’s future is better than its past. We need to secure a future in which every American has the freedom to live a life of their choosing; where our republic grows more and not less democratic; where racial justice is a reality and not a dream; where we’ve put an end to endless war; where we’ve summoned the national will to meet the challenge of climate change; where everyone has the health care they need; and where everyone has the chance to find purpose and belonging in our economy and our country

Sub Basics

This sub is volunteer-led, designed, and driven. We've tried to keep an open mind to what our subscribers want to see. You can check the top menu bar (in Reddit redesign) for links to Pete's official website and social media, top interviews, and other links we found helpful like "how to register to vote" and "how to volunteer with the Democratic Party." We've also linked in the sidebar to other relevant subs, the Pete For America Discord channel, and Pete's new Autobiography. Don't see something you're looking for or want to make a suggestion?

Subreddit Rules [REVAMPED! Please check the sidebar]

For a full list of our rules please follow this link. Note that as the sub grows and evolves the rules will be updated. If you see something that breaks the rules or isn't in line with being open, honest, and accepting please use the report function in Reddit and the mod team will help keep r/Pete_Buttigieg a positive representation of our candidate.

In the words of Pete himself - "If we push [people] into the corner, this is how radicalization works. They have nowhere to go but the far right. If we beckon them to our side and invite them to, basically invite them to the kind of party you want to get into, not because it’s exclusive but because it’s fun and because it makes you feel good. But also at a substantive level because it makes you kind of bigger-hearted and more secure as opposed to the politics of making people fearful and backward-looking."
