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).

This is where leftists get the reputation for forming circular firing squads.
Yet somehow you guys are always the first to play the victim even to something that’s still theoretical. Like your comment here. Amazing example.
What are you talking about here?
Stop expecting perfection.
That is a great way of saying it.
If you look at some of the biggest figures of our past in world history, the vast majority of them had some kind of vice or did some kind of thing or participated in some kind of event that would have gotten them cancelled in today’s world. It is ridiculous to what standards we hold people today, but in the end, they are just that - PEOPLE. Highly flawed individuals, just like you and I and everyone here. That doesn’t change the fact that they changed history (for better or worse) in one way or another. The problem comes when society then elevates them to some demi-god level and then everyone gets all flustered when that extra-marital affair or off-color joke or comments about some topic comes to light.
Talking about someone’s glaring flaws isn’t the same as expecting perfection. That’s an intillectually lazy way to see it. Wanting people to only sing the praises of anyone is actually expecting your version of perfection.
Now thats a very good opinion that I totally endorse.

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.

Not to split hairs but she is actually against vaccine mandates, not against vaccines itself. She is vaccinated against covid-19.
Personally I disagree with her and support mandates, but there is a considerable difference between anti-vax and anti-mandates.

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.
