You're right, I already debated what he "literally" said with Vex.
In that regard, I don't think we know enough about Buttigieg to extend what he said to also serving as a dismissal of underlying factors shaping the Cuban revolution. Meaning, in a (hypothetical) private conversation with Bernie on the subject, I'm sure they'd have more substantive discussion. Personally, if I hear someone suggest that their country "turn the page"/focus on the 21st century, I don't interpret that as saying history doesn't matter. I moreso hear something along the lines of.. let's take what we've learned from history, move on, and do better. That's not an evil proposition. (In my view anyway)
