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."
- GauntletWizard 5y agoYou 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."
- rpmisms 5y agoAgree. At least being honest about it is worth more than any measure of optics.
