…that despite our sundry long-standing differences on many of the issues of the day, I respect you as an honest interlocutor with whom I actually share a number of stances. 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,
