The thing I most dislike about our politics is this notion that every member of a political party has to be some hive mind. I believe it should absolutely be normal to hold a different personal position on any given topic to that of your party. I think it should be more normal to cross the floor on votes than it is.

I disagree that she can't serve on some committee of foreign affairs because she isn't completely 100% behind her party's stated position on one conflict. That's dumb.

Yeah what's the point of having a committee if everyone has to have the same view
