staffers are used to politicians that don't read shit and just move about sponsoring laws they don't know or care about.
this is actually a great endorsement for Harris. she reads, highlights, takes notes, asks questions and demands reasons? sign me the fuck up.
And also important: changes their mind when confronted with evidence that their administration or themselves might have the wrong position on a topic. Some may call that flip-flopping, but it isn't when it follows the facts.
Flip flopping implies indecision regardless of validity of fact and switching without good reason. If there is good reason to switch, then it is simply making an informed decision. People who don’t change their stance when presented with convincing evidence to the contrary are cultists.
Unlike a certain someone who showed a pattern of strongly believing in whatever the last person he spoke with told him when he was president.
Which is even worse than what "flip flop" is supposed to refer to: someone who says whatever they think will resonate most with their current audience. At least that person might have a plan that they just aren't sharing, whereas "gets convinced by anyone he speaks with" is going to end up pulled along with who knows how many other people's covert plans.
The president of the USA not being a puppet for once would be cool yeah.
I think thats what some trumpers believed before 2016, but turns out he was just a puppet for different people
but he said he's not a puppet!
He's not a puppet. They are friendly and fun. He's a marionette, one of the creepy possessed ones.
