it kind of sucks that the world is in such a state that you can't even say "this guy is dying and i disagree with his politics but he did a good thing for the country (re: ACA) that most politicians in his position wouldn't have done" without ppl yelling at you.

It's kind of hard to applaud someone for cleaning up a mess on the floor when they were one of the people gleefully shitting all over it earlier.

what he did with ACA was straight up shocking, though. i think refusal to recognize when someone does something brave and good kinda discourages others from attempting the same. it doesn't negate their past actions, but it shouldn't be ignored.

It's not bravery though to engage in baseline human decency. That's the *expected* behavior. Bravery is going beyond that.

It's especially not bravery to fix a problem you had a hand in creating. Again, that's the *expected* behavior.

If everyone around you is terrible, and you are slightly less terrible, you are still terrible.

there is a difference between saying that someone isn't terrible and saying that they did a thing that was good. this is the point i was trying to make in my first tweet. it didn't used to be like this.

There's a lot of privilige in that statement, just a heads up. For a lot of Americans, yeah, politics appeared more civil, but they were getting harmed all the same, by people like McCain.

maybe. but again, i'm not saying they were good. i'm saying that the thing he did with voting to keep ACA was good. and this shouldn't be a problematic statement.

It is a problematic statement because he was one of the people *directly* responsible for letting it get to that point.

yes. he did. hence: i disagree with his politics. but then he stopped it. and i think it's ok to give credit for him realizing his mistake and fixing it.

He stopped *one* thing, yet continued in the negative behavior in all other aspects. That's like giving a kid a cookie because they stopped hitting one kid, but continued hitting a bunch of others.
