I agree. It’s a classic problem. She had a view I find fully incompatible with being a good politician. Her reversing that view does not make her a good politician, but it does make her a better one.
The truth is if I had to vote between two politicians, each of which I disagree with on the majority of issues, but one is steadfast in their views while the other is known to waver, I may pick the second of the two.
Many politicians get a bad wrap for flip-flopping on issues, and I certainly want some level of consistency, but someone who can admit their mistake shouldn’t be ignored.
I do agree we need politicians who can change their opinions not only when it affects them personally. However, it’s not a zero sum game. If we can make a little progress, it’s still progress. It’s not enough, but it’s progress.
