@petebuttigieg.bsky.social's message to disillusioned people:

It doesn’t have to be like this.

We can do better.

He owes a good answer to his kids —
for what he was doing while we were figuring out
whether this "brutal patch" leads to a renewal —

or "the end of the video game."

ChatGPT asked Pete Buttigieg:

"Do you think something like me—an AI trained in the past—can ever truly build a more just future, or will I always reflect the world as it is, not as it should be?"

WATCH - @petebuttigieg.bsky.social: "The Epstein thing is an issue HE campaigned on… His response has revealed how gullible he thinks his own base is… there's enough there there that they said they’d push it out, and then they won't."

In a perfect world, America would recognize the moral leadership of Pete Buttigieg. He seems to be one of the few who recognizes that America is grappling with the growing pains of a multicultural future.

"Right now, the problem is that they're moving fast and breaking things - but they're not breaking things in order to build other things. They're just breaking things."

"Pretty much everybody recognizes these things, and there's a vocabulary to be found in those shared values that can be used to reach across major political and social chasms."

Pete Buttigieg, with the depth, ambition, pragmatic hope & laser focus that the moment calls for.
Buttigieg cautioned, "We need to be ruthlessly prepared to lay aside what we have inherited, if and where it doesn't work, even as we defend what does work we need to build new ideas to the frame. I hate watching the destruction of our public institutions, the tearing up of promises, the shattering of norms that have helped to hold our society together. But we need to admit that the status quo that our generations have inherited has in many important ways failed us. Good things are being destroyed right now. Useless things are also being destroyed alongside those good things. So the goal cannot be to just ride out this season and then somehow piece it back together. Proto authoritarian populism doesn't just happen. If our politics, our institutions, and our economy were working well for most Americans, movements like the one now ascendant in Washington wouldn't have gotten any traction to begin with. We wouldn't be in this situation. So those who were opposed to the present carnival of chaos and destruction need to have something more to say than stop it in order to win, but even more importantly, in order to deserve to win, and most importantly of all, in order to be prepared to win. Today's opposition needs to put forward a vision of government in institutions that serve people better, not just better than now, but better than before, which means actually confronting the massive inequalities of power and of wealth that define our time." But, "The good news is that we do not have to wander aimlessly into this new era. We can shape it. We are present at the juncture of some of the most important choices that we'll decide whether the rest of our lifetimes are defined by scarcity or abundance, freedom or authority, isolation or belonging. For everybody who is alive today, we have no risk of living in an unimportant time and when that comes to every prospect of shaping a better future, this is not the time to be arguing about Greenland," Buttigieg said. "This is the time for action, for clarity, and for hope." Quoting Roberto Unger, Buttigieg said, "Hope is the consequence of action more than its cause." said, "I am not claiming that there is an easy national consensus to be had anytime soon on our politics and policy. Though, I would be remiss if I did not mention that a lot of the things I believe in enjoy at least two-thirds support in this country, including progressive taxation, a woman's right to choose, marriage equality, the reality of climate change. There are things that a strong majority of Americans believe that can give us not an escape from the big fights, but a common ground to appeal to as we engage in those sites, the importance of freedom, the dreadful consequences of income inequality, the absolute foundational importance of this being a nation that bows to no King [a statement which garnered huge applausel, and things like the magnitude of the challenges like artificial intelligence and the digital colonization of our lives and minds."

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Pete Buttigieg on democracy in America:

"We've never been a perfect democracy, but democracy is the most important thing about our country -- and our country is the most important democracy in the world. What makes America America, is that the American people bow to no king."

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.

Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.

Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Just a heads-up, this account keeps posting fake quotes, claiming that they're from Pete Buttigieg. 👇

It's weird. I tried ignoring it at first, but the fake quotes are spreading across social media. It needs to stop.
