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.

Okay, but based on your analysis of likely impact of Clinton, then broader anti-racist strategy should be to ignore alt-right. Yes?

My analysis was limited to the likely effect of HRC denouncing the alt-right. You broadened it far beyond what I've argued.

Well, I broadened because logic of your analysis extends to anti-racist strategy in general. It's an important question

I don't think a narrowly focused analysis of the effects of a HRC speech has any necessary bearing on broader anti-racist tactics.

Your argument is attacking alt right only makes them more ideological & cohesive. If so, that applies to all attacks, not just HRC

Nope, this applies specifically to HRC and has no broader implications beyond her speech. I reject that it must be broadened.

So you wouldn't have problem with anyone other than Hillary attacking alt-right? Say if Sarah Silverman did it?

I think Sarah Silverman's awful anyway, but in general I have no problem with people attacking the alt-right.
