Look if you still fault them for doing the right thing why should they do the right thing? Give it a rest! Acknowledge that they have done the right thing now! People deserve credit for taking the correct moral stand unlike the terrorist group attacking Washington DC right now!

> moral stand

They're refusing to undermine the system from which their own legitimacy and power derives. There's nothing moral about it.

Agreed. We must allow for people to change their mind.

They had so many chances to do the right thing though. It still is good that they didn't go crazy hysterical like Trump and eventually accepted but I won't cut them any cookie for it.
