Buttigieg took issue with Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders my way or the highway politics at Fridays debate but a 20-year-old essay written by Buttigieg had nothing but praise for the self-described socialist.

In the early moments of the ABC-hosted debate in New Hampshire, Buttigieg warned against my way or the highway politics and when moderator George Stephanopoulos asked whether he was referring to Sanders, he said that he was.

Just two decades earlier, however, Buttigieg won the John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage essay contest with a piece lauding Sanders both for his willingness to take unpopular stands and his ability to work across the aisle.
Buttigieg began by praising the Vermont senator for his fearlessness with regard to claiming the name socialist:

"Sanders courage is evident in the first word he uses to describe himself: Socialist. In a country where Communism is still the dirtiest of ideological dirty words, in a climate where even liberalism is considered radical, and Socialism is immediately and perhaps willfully confused with Communism, a politician dares to call himself a socialist? He does indeed. Here is someone who has looked into his own soul/ and expressed an ideology, the endorsement of which, in todays political atmosphere, is analogous to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Even though he has lived through a time in which an admitted socialist could not act in a film, let alone hold a Congressional seat, Sanders is not afraid to be candid about his political persuation."

People really stray from themselves as time wears on. Career pressure, loss of ambition, etc.

this is sad more than anything because it demonstrates one of the many brutal results of a fiercely capitalistic society like the DNC wants to maintain.

The best laugh is that his dad edited a book with someone called Peter Mayo.

Isn't it simply likely that a high schooler heavily influenced by his parents simply grew to have different opinions as he got older? Why are we pretending an adult thinking something differently than their high school self is "straying from themselves?"

People should hold the same political opinions they had in high school. Assuming they're the correct opinions.
