Boy am I tired of partisan politics.

  Amen. I just wish that all politicians would remain more consistent in their views, or at the very least admit that they previously said the opposite but have since changed their mind. I do not intend for this post to be anti Biden. Trump is also a hypocrite, just not on his pro covid vaccine stance.

    I have some interest in politics, and I've decided that I'll be open about public vs personal views. For example: "I personally believe X, but my constituents overwhelmingly support Y, so I will be voting for Y."

      You should also be open about when you choose to disagree - "I know my constituents believe Y, and I see their arguments. I have spent much time evaluating it and assigned some of my best staff to make arguments for and against, and will be voting X."

        Agree. At least being honest about it is worth more than any measure of optics.
