I always love when a politician changes their stance on something after receiving new evidence and they get railroaded for it. Like, that’s exactly what we want to happen.

That’s what we want to happen. Some people just want to make others miserable while curled up in their unrealistic ideological safe spaces.

Yeah I don’t understand this either. Hillary Clinton is a prime example of someone that changed some stances over the course of decades in politics and people cite that constantly as proof “she’s disengenuous.”

“flip-flopper” is the term I remember. As though learning things and changing your views is a bad thing.

Well there are some politicians deserving of that title. People who change their stance on issues for no reason other than to curry favor with either their party or some other interests. Look at someone like Mitch McConnell. He will change his stances at the drop of a hat if it means he has more power as a result.

The current GOP frontrunner has changed his political affiliation 5 times. Text book example of what you're saying: changing positions for power, nothing else.

Oh I was just giving one example. If we wanted to list all the politicians who do this we’d be here all day.

Would be faster to list the politicians who don’t behave this way.

I enjoyed the reboot, but this episode and that joke specifically was the highlight of the whole season.

By a pretty wide margin! Felt the most like an “original” futurama episode than the others
