      Yes, I think that Obama’s regrettable adherence to the near-universal Dem party line (unconvincingly reversing his earlier endorsement of gay marriage from before entering national politics) is not the same thing as supporting conversion therapy at any point in one’s life.

      Didn't say it was "the same thing." I asked who displayed a greater degree of political expediency.

      The issue isn’t political expediency, the issue is having a background in a crank movement that drives queer people to suicide

      When evaluating the veracity of people's claimed moral shifts, you must consider whether they were motivated by expediency or a sincere desire to reform. So yes, it's one "issue" among many to take into account.

      I don’t believe Obama ever inflicted harm on LGBT people relative to the status quo. He claimed to be “evolving” (while, as I understand it, all but openly admitting this was bullshit to LGBT activists in private) while the country was rapidly evolving on this issue, per polls.

      I remember lots of left-wing LGBT activists vociferously claiming otherwise in 2008, but OK.

      Their job was to demand this of the president, who in turn kept signaling he was open to hearing their demands. And they won.

      Bernie's campaign selected Tulsi to enter his name into nomination at the 2016 convention, and she's currently a fellow at the Sanders Institute. If "leftists" now find her so unconscionable, maybe they should take it up with Bernie for giving her such a large platform pic.twitter.com/uBAnctJLzK

      I think it has always been an error for Bernie to align with Tulsi and I hope it ends with them facing off in a crowded Dem primary

      He didn't just "align" with her, he propelled her into national notoriety; if that was such a grave moral error, it says something very bad about his judgment.

          Not sure if it was a 'moral error' but it was at least an error in judgement. Then again, I always considered him human and hence fallible.
