Wait, I fail to understand how refusing to hire or associate with bigots is an assault on democracy.
It seems to me this is the free market in action. Your labor is worth so much less as a bigot that you are unemployable. Tough shit.
Unless you want to add political beliefs to "protected classes". But it was my understanding that conservatives don't think the government should be involved in mandating voluntary associations.
- downandout 10y agoSo the 60,265,858 people that voted for Trump are all bigots and could have had no other reason to vote for him. Got it.
- diyorgasms 10y agoNo, while I suspect that many of the people who voted for Trump did so out of bigotry, some I assume are good people. And the email did not say to resign if you supported Trump, it said to resign if you would engage in bigoted acts. "demeaning, insulting and ridiculing minorities, immigrants and the physically/mentally disabled" is how those acts were specified. And frankly, if that's how you're going to behave, then you have no place in any organization.
- downandout 10y agoAgain, I won't split hairs on this. Since you were intelligent enough to turn on your computer and type this response, you know perfectly well what that email was saying. You are arguing because that's what liberals do when they're caught red-handed doing something very, very wrong. Pertinent parts of the email: "... I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can......If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here".
