#3 From the piece:

Buttigieg ran as something of a moderate in 2020, but Wired lets us know that his “father was a renowned Marxist scholar” — it can finally be said! — and that he “was himself a devotee of Senator Bernie Sanders as a young man.”

Whatever devotion he felt toward the Vermont socialist disappeared the night Buttigieg lost to Sanders in the Nevada caucuses, when he gave a blistering anti-Bernie speech — and won himself Biden’s favor.

#6 If their "intelligence" isn't suited to making practical decisions, then I would submit that their intelligence is of no functional use, and should be disregarded. Einstein was smart, but I wouldn't want him flying a plane or doing surgery.
