    So everything about Trump has to be equally bad? She either has to be a horrible pick on principle, or you have to ignore of all the heinous shit that Republicans pull every day? That still doesn’t make sense to me. People criticize what they deem worthy of criticism. And just like one bad decision shouldn’t condemn a person, one decent pick cannot absolve Trump and the Republican party.

      And yet the public discourse keep deteriorating, no matter how often you remind people of how bad Trump is. People keep forgetting that most people aren’t “left” or “right”, but have complex views about many subjects. Voting on someone that acts in their interest is not equating them to the person.

        No one said that. But if you are willing to endanger other people’s rights and lives even further because it might economically benefit your already rather privileged ass, you deserve to be called out for that, and reminded that your customers might not all be as willfully ignorant and self-absorbed.

        US-style individualism “fuck you I got mine and yours and then some” is a cancer on society.

          You’re missing the point. Andy Yen’s point of view about the subject is that of a privacy advocate. Him seeing something being done to stop the bleeding of private data and commenting on that particular subject says absolutely nothing of his other political opinions. If the Democrats would have picked someone like that in that position, then likely he would have commended it too.

          Unless he’s a hypocrite too, but i would rather give benefit of the doubt since (can’t believe i have to say this) we’re just two randoms talking on the internet about a guy that none of us will, or have ever met.
