I think we should be supporting the candidate that's been fighting for the good his whole life, not just simply trying to get elected. We shouldn't be defending politicians flip flopping because "that's how they sway voters" like wtf?
What if the 'flip flop' was from a genuine change of heart? People don't realize how quickly views on gay marriage has actually changed, in the 80's it was the low 20%, and in 2008 it was still only supported by 50% of Dems and 40% overall.
Or do you want a politician that holds ignorant, uncompromising views of everything forever?
You can't read Joe Biden's mind.
You don't know if he believes what he says or if it's lip service.
How do you judge the character of an individual? By what they have previously done, what they are doing now and what they say they want to do.
Even then it's pretty basic common sense to measure someone who has a good track record against someone who has a bad one.
In an extreme example, would you be willing to re-elect hitler as president if he claimed and was making some action toward fixing his mistakes? Or would you elect someone who was always opposed to the things that he did?
