that vice presidents do not contradict their presidents, I remember one notable exception.
When President Biden was vice president Biden he came out in favor of marriage equality before either his president or the Democratic party was ready to endorse marriage equality. This was at great risk to his personal political career. I understand why the mainstream media chooses to ignore him making a stand for his values, but I'm very disappointed that we in the hoi-polloi have forgotten about it.
