    Hey, “strongly supporting gay marriage” is below the bare minimum. Same sex marriage has 71% support. Being any politician who doesn’t support same sex marriage is tactical suicide. Even Trump supports same sex marriage (7 years ago!) because it’d be stupid not to. Let me know when he actually takes a stand.

      I remember the 90s. Society has changed drastically in 30 years.

      Give the man credit for keeping up.

        It doesn’t count as keeping up if you’re passively floating along with the average, that doesn’t take effort. That’s just being a moderate. The thing that takes effort is to either maintain a progressive platform or to maintain a reactionary one. Regression to mean is the opposite of keeping up.

      Are you kidding dude? He’s not playing against the total average, he’s playing against white wealthy boomer politicians, of which he is clearly progressing
