And neither one of those facts has any bearing on who you voted for. Same with "Who would be the best president?" Lots of people don't know, and don't care, but that's not why they voted for him. -- Drew

While I feel that your principled abstention from the resistance to Trump’s election formed a part, however infinitesimal, of the trends that have brought us to this disaster, I do not assert that you “caused” this. I trust that as we approach the next election cycle we can agree that even if the alternative put up against Trump is a “corporatist Democrat,” this will be preferable to Trump, that “heightening the contradictions” can wait for another time, and that we will each contribute our mite to preventing the greater evil from prevailing. cordially,

NO ONE can EVER AGAIN claim to be ignorant of how truly despicable are (at least 40% of) the American People. We should mount a plaque on the Statue of Liberty's platform that reads, "Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate." bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
