As does 90% of the article. Thanks for the mainstream straight view of the issue.

Last night, Axios reported that President-elect Joe Biden is considering Pete Buttigieg for the position of US ambassador to China. As a supporter of Pete Buttigieg during the Democratic Primary — and someone who was bitterly disappointed when he dropped out and supported Biden, effectively clearing the path to the nomination for the former Vice President — I feel conflicted. The Beijing posting might be a smart move for Buttigieg and the country, but it also feels painfully inadequate for a rising player in the Democratic Party.


I agree with the author - it’s not all positive for Pete depending on what he’s wanting to do.

I’d love to see the first openly gay member of the cabinet - kind of shocking that it’s 2020 and we’ve never had that level of representation in the US.
