I mean, people seem to be confusing the position of conservative politicians with the role of liberals/progressives. It's as if to say: Yeah, this is the way I am so accept it.
What should be accepted: Anti-choice? Anti-union? Anti-marriage equality? Cut/privatize Social Security? Raise the retirement age?
Isn't the goal to educate and push for progress in these areas? To protect and strengthen civil rights and the social contract?
If someone can simply say, "I'm anti-choice, and I'm not going to budge," that should be accepted? What about the other positions above, like marriage equality? Should it be simply accepted that someone is against marriage equality?
