    It’s a good thing he’s not going to be running for president 40 years ago, isn’t it? Unless you’re willing to make a blanket generalization that no one can change, maybe back way from the microphone.

          it shows that he has no real principles and is just a politician who only cares about getting votes to maintain the status quo

            You: Politicians should listen to constituents to represent them and change positions based on new information.

            Also You: Anytime a politician changes their position or just a lie to get votes [which is somehow bad].

              it speaks to the heart of biden’s character; he literally singled out and made the lives of a vulnerable group of people miserable for decades because it got him votes. he didn’t change; he just switched faces to get votes and blue maga is giving him a pass despite him being an instrumental figure that created the the political reality we have in this country today.

              he’d still be voting against gay people too if it weren’t for younger voters making that a problem for him and he’s still exactly the same he was on every single other issue; ask the railroad strikers; or people crippled by student loan debt; or refugees imprisoned for fleeing from persecution; or the palestinians in gaza if you doubt that much.
