      Peter is eccentric, but earnest. He seems to have a blind spot about Trump's character, but he is no surrogate.

      Great you strongly oppose Trump, but the lack of congruence with a registered Trump delegate in your YC inner circle is deafening.

      Do you mean YC should cut ties to Peter because of his political views? It seems to me that's the sort of thing we're fighting against.

          Would David Duke be welcome as a YC partner if he had money to invest and a sympathetic vision for startups?

          Peter is not a YC partner. He is a "part time partner," which means he does occasional office hours.

          And it is no longer my decision who's part of YC, which is why I have to talk about this in the subjunctive.

          If I were still running YC though, I'd be very leery of ditching people for their political views.

          Obviously there is a line, and I'd never want David Duke, but Peter is not David Duke.

          Peter seems to me more like American leftists who misguidedly idolized Stalin in the 1930s and 40s.

          Again, I'm cueing off the dire warnings, fatalistic language and similes you're using. Either Trump is a unique danger or not.

          Yes, he's a unique danger, but I would not want to descend to the sort of tactics he'd use.

          Does that line extend to any form of political support or ideas? Ducarté? SA apartheid? Eugenics? Is everything kosher?

          Is there anything Trump could say or propose that would cause you to stop associating with those who are hard at work to elect him?

          Isn't no-platforming exactly the sort of thing that helps grow Trump supporter base? @paulg

          Trump is just a manifestation of a larger problem, which is radicalized discourse (on both sides). @paulg

          No. The GOP has been selecting their electorate for gullibility and authoritarianism for decades.

          Trump is the apotheosis, not an aberration, and certainly not mirrored by anything on the left.

          yes, Trump is an apotheosis, but the statement about lack of mirroring is absolutely incorrect.

          The worst thing about the Democrats you can say in that regard is that they're too deferential to big corporate preferences
