Why wouldn't that always be the case? What's different about this case where this expedient choice is proper but other's aren't?
- slg 8y agoWe should be unwilling to compromise on certain issues. Civil rights is one that many people would point to that should not be compromised. It is one reason why Hillary Clinton was criticized by progressives during the 2016 campaign for previously being against gay marriage and pro civil unions. That was the politically expedient position at the time, but it was also a compromise of morals.
