Fair enough, guess the price to be under the microscope constantly is a little too high, so you we get the unhinged, the autistic, and the retarded running.
The filter is set for that.
Much like the filter in Russia is set to squeeze out someone like a Putin as the only viable option between the State Council's and public's butt cheeks.
Pretty sure I have a similar one too.
I've never heard this phrase before but I love it, thank you
You're welcome. "Bitch eating crackers" is pretty much the news cycle now.
I mean he is a politician after all. But there's also something to be said about people having the ability to recognize and change the fault in their ways. I'm not defending vance, but he's certainly not the only never trumper to change his mind
Personally, the guy i really wanted to run is Thomas Massie. I'm really interested to see how he'd fare at that level.
My Vance creep issue goes back to last year when it dawned on me that the guy always seemed to be arriving at the Senate after attending a My Chemical Romance show.
It's easy to bust on his eyeliner now. But it hit me almost a year before I heard anyone else acknowledge what I was seeing. A Sam Brinton, for example, is an easy and obvious target. But for Vance, that's a lot more insidious and sinister in my lizard brain.
But 100% that people should be able to change their minds, see a broader picture, fit a new model, talk to others who convince them of new views. That should be doing your job.
Hence why I am completely annoyed by the
whole "flip-flop" argument that gets used a lot. Biden flipped on gay marriage, but he's also 81 which is a long time to do a lot of flipping (thought I think his flip was 10 years). Trump used to be a liberal writing checks to Obama and Kamala. People should be allowed to change.
I agree completely.
It's possible for people to genuinely change their opinion on something and I don't think that should be held against them. Without people changing their minds, we'd still live in the Stone Age.
It's just that Vance's change of mind does not seem sincere. Not even because of his 'new' opinion, but because he never really believed in whatever he was saying before.

For Vance, politics is politics. It's a survival strategy to strut your opposition to a bill with your D.C. cronies while going back to your home state and celebrating the money you've brought back for something you voted against.
Vance seems to be following the George Wallace playbook. You do what it takes to get ahead in your profession and expand your influence for what you intend to achieve.
