Buttigieg is morphing in real time as he "learns to speak progressive" to primary voters. We've gone from "I don't want to talk about policy, just about philosophy" to some beginnings of policy statements. However, he's still super light there.
For an example, go to his website and listen to 6 minutes when he's asked about Palestine. He never ever answers the question and instead rambles on about "American Values" and "American national interests" without ever expressly telling us what he thinks those values are or what he thinks those interests are.
That, right there, and he does it on dozens of issues, is why I am literally pissed at Pete Buttigieg and call him a lightweight. He owes the public honest statements of where he stands and so far he keeps dodging like the best high school dodgeball player in gym class.
