    Stop expecting perfection.

    Nobody is perfect. MLK had affairs, the founding fathers owned slaves, Churchill was racist AF, etc.

    She’s doing a great job now and we can educate her the same way we turned Obama from anti-gay marriage.

    We should judge people OVERALL not on stuff like being anti-vax (which to be clear is dumb).

      I don’t expect perfection…? Being anti-vax is a big deal to me. That’s not a harmless ideology. It’s moronic and anti-science. This isn’t just some little thing I disagree with it’s, in my opinion, a huge moral and intellectual failure. I think it’s completely fair that this gets brought up because it’s directly relevant.

          I wish we lived in a world where we could count on people to just do the right thing but we don’t. On issues that put everyone at risk I unfortunately have to stand on the side of mandates until people learn how to act. Personally I’d still rather that they just get naturally excluded from society but we’re all too split for that and too many people have to needlessly die in the meantime. I’m aware fighting for women’s rights to choose is kind of hypocritical in this situation but nobody has come up with a better solution that doesn’t just let people be wilfully ignorant and get other people killed in the process.
