And I agree. I also believe that Hillary will be our next president and that it is important to keep pushing her on this issue. And frankly, in this debate I am pretty sure that Hillary might say some things I don't like. But I see her as someone who can be persuaded and also as someone who understands the obstacles and who can analyze and actively push against them. This is the positive side of changing positions, in my opinion. It means that you have been willing to examine and challenge your own thinking and your own assumptions. I am suspicious of people who purport to be perfect and unchanging on inequality and injustice, especially when they also believe that having the "right" opinion for a long time is the only measure of sincerity and effectiveness.
