telling a corporation to sanction, discipline, or fire a partner is not militant.
the only militant behavior is coming from Trump, when he talks about dropping HRC's security detail and seeing what happens.
diversity of opinion is important, but advocacy of violence and worse - the commission of sexual violence against women - is not.
I'm not certain that ending Thiele's partnership is warranted - I don't know enough about the facts. But this is more than just an "unpopular opinion".
- Moshe_Silnorin 10y agoThis detente we have where we don't fire people for their political views is extremely valuable, and we should be very very wary about breaking it.
- appleflaxen 10y ago100% agree. But there is a point at which a candidate /is/ too extreme. All we're doing is having a discussion about where that point is. Do you disagree that that point exists? It's funny to see my comments laden with downvotes from (presumably) the people who wanted to respect diversity of opinion.
