Buttigieg's entire political approach is to come up with eloquent excuses for why we can't have good things. He has made no real intellectual contribution to potential policy solutions, and what people perceive as his intelligence is largely his ability to act like an upper-class white man.
Pod Save America: Do you think it's time to recognize a Palestinian state?
Pete Buttigieg: I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's survival, Israel's right to survival, in the diplomatic scene.

Now, almost too aptly, right after that (and after Congress responded by giving more weapons to Israel), Israeli settlers have just killed *another* American:

Not sure a Jeffrey Epstein associate should get that much access to an 18-year-old’s personal info
Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.
