In a notable departure from traditional political platforms, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on Andrew Schultz's Flagrant podcast to advocate for Democrats to engage with broader audiences, particularly bro media. Aiming to break out of the Democratic echo chamber, Buttigieg criticized peers for avoiding platforms that attract diverse perspectives. He emphasized the need for politicians to encounter differing viewpoints to become more informed and effective, aligning with Schultz's praise for Buttigieg as a bold figure in contemporary politics, particularly in a politically polarized environment.
We have to be encountering people who don't think like us and who don't view the world the way we do, both in order to become smarter and better and make better choices and take better positions, and also to persuade.
I think we're all looking forward to seeing what you're doing. I think you're a really brave and amazing figure in our political sphere.
