Came to say exactly that. Her fellow congress members agreed with her yet didn't vote in agreement. She shoulder the worst of it and suffered for it. I believe Jan 6th changed her in many ways, I hope she keeps challenging the politics she grew up with.

This country is made up of ideas far right all the way to far left. Centrists are status quo. Progressive provides ideas, progress. Not all ideas are thought out or the best. Conservatives used to be about finances, now it’s about control over others.

We’ve only ever moved forward bc that middle adopted a progressive idea. However that progressive idea gets negotiated & compromised and never fully satisfies all or addresses the problem completely. This is how our govt was designed.

Unless you have supermajority to make huge changes which can be good or bad depending on who has that supermajority. Its not seeking appeasement. It’s just acknowledging when someone steps out of character to stand up against their party & a lunatic, maybe it encourages others to do the same.

all fair points, but i said center right, not center

She was shitty most of her life and has definitely had a huge shift in her views. People are SUPPOSED to change their views when presented with evidence that challenges their false beliefs. Are they not?

yeah and she can have some self satisfaction and a pat on the back, not a presidential medal ffs

dicecookplate.bsky.social•52 days ago

True, but I think her continuing to call out Benedict Donald elevated that from a pat to a medal. As I stated I’d never vote for her & disagree w/her on her positions, I don’t worship her, but she did stay strong even when her career was on the line. Not sure many politicians would do that.

In today's world I don't think false beliefs exist. All beliefs are real and immutable. The only question is in the face of others beliefs that impact you what are you going to do?
