As bad as Donald is, he just isn't bad enough to take this severe of an action against a supporter . It would be anti-American at its worst.

- Avshalom 10y agoI dunno, firing people for debatably legal reasons seems fairly american to me. Also I'm not sure that "firing" is an accurate word here. Theil isn't really an employee is he?
- jkmcf 10y agoFiring the person making the comments isn't the same as firing someone who supports a party and the candidate regardless.
- arcanus 10y agoI agree. This is the candidate of a major political party. Calling for the elimination of positions of those you disagree with is only going to make the world a more polar place. We need more discussions and less calls for firing people or imprisoning them, from both sides.
- BinaryIdiot 10y agoAgreed. If someone is acting as a political surrogate, even if I think the candidate is awful, as long as it's not interfering with their work and they're not explicitly representing the company I don't see the problem. I also wonder if DHH has the same thoughts if someone is a Hillary candidate.
- drewrv 10y ago> He just isn't bad enough to take this severe of an action against a supporter. He's expressed just about every bigoted position there is (against races, religions, and women). He's expressed just about every fascist position there is (jailing political opponent, killing/torturing innocents, shutting down press outlets). What would Donald have to do?
- archagon 10y ago"He just isn't bad enough"? Have you listened to the garbage coming out of his mouth? At this point, I almost fear to ask: what would be bad enough? Someone outright advocating for genocide?
