Sure "not all" but it's a lot.
Biden voted to make same-sex marriage Illegal [1] and later for legalizing same-sex [2]. A bit interesting that his running mate neglected to legalize it and instead just didn't defend it in court (Imagine how people would talk if Trump refused to defend a law in court, lol!)
But yeah, some politicians like Bernie actually have been consistent their career while others like Ron Paul just make a big talk about their stances but then vote to inflate the deficit anyways.

- bamboozled 1y agoIt's almost like...people can change their mind about something? I like Bernie too but he is nuts. He's a far left voice who is often quite rational, we need someone like him to bring things back towards the center, but I doubt he'd be a good president.
- Frieren 1y ago> He's a far left voice As European I see Bernie as center-right, but I guess it is a matter of perspective.
- bamboozled 1y agoWell he's an American politician, so I'm talking within that context.
- lesuorac 1y agoSure people can change their mind but when your opinions are changing at the same time as popular opinion it doesn't sound like your mind is changed. It just sounds like you want to be popular and that's dangerous to me as a voter because I want to vote for a set of core values and not a face.
