If you were born between Jan. 1, 1997, and Nov. 3, 2002, I want to talk to you about politics and why you should support the "Gen Z for Pete B" campaign.

Members of Generation Z — people born after 1996 — are on track to playing a sizable duty in the American presidential election for their very first time. However, there has been minimal discussion around how their priorities, feelings, ideas and needs contrast from those coming from older generations.

Generation Z is amidst the most progressive and diverse in American history. Regarding controversial issues such as sexism, racism, homophobia, and bigotry, research suggests that Generation Z has  a worldview that embodies a variety of viewpoints.

We reject labels and putting things into tiny boxes. We are rethinking and reimagining systems and institutions and terms and even ideas.

So, Gen Z, I urge you to stop trying to make things easier, in a way, stop dismissing everything surrounding a system that you see as dysfunctional. The system being, political parties.

Buttigieg, 37, would be the youngest elected president ever in American history. Nobody should vote for Buttigieg (or anyone, for that matter) merely because they share a closer birth date to him than other candidates. But  that historic youthfulness should be enough to buy him a good percentage of the national youth vote.

Buttigieg has the youth and endurance to direct the democratic party for the next generation. Additionally, Buttigieg is moderate; he speaks for everyone from everywhere. 

Buttigieg understands that the values that unite us are a lot stronger than policies that divide us, and that the direction forward is not to succumb anger and hatred of fellow Americans,  but to figure out what we have in common and build on that foundation.

Use your voice with me, Gen Z, and support the election of Mayor Pete B.
