"Worth noting" in what sense? Analytically? Tactically? I'm not really interested in positing what HRC "should" or "should not" do

I'm analyzing the effect of what she is in fact apparently doing. That's been my narrow aim from the beginning of this discussion.

OK: let's analyze effect of ignoring Trump's winks & nods to alt right. Do you think that's good & useful?

For whom? HRC? Why is it incumbent on me to offer HRC moral and/or tactical guidance? She can do whatever she pleases.

Not just for Hillary. By your logic, best anti-racist response in general to alt-right is to ignore because they are trolls.

You're conflating "what HRC should do" and "what people in general should do." I'm not in the business of advising candidates.

I think it might be in HRC's tactical interest to denounce the alt-right. "Should she" do it? I don't know. Not advising her.

But I'm not interested in Clinton here. I'm interested in anti-racist politics outside of Clinton campaign. Should people ignore?

With respect to alt-right trolls in particular, I don't have a good answer as to how to best combat them. I am unsure.

Fair enough. But not just trolls -- there is wider mainstreaming of alt-right in Breitbart. Should that be ignored?

No. I've been denouncing Breitbart for ages. Back when Andrew was smearing Occupy, and the Romney campaign partnered with them.
