      No. Being a "supporter" is entirely different from being a surrogate, keynote speaker, huge money donor. Also: Not an employee.

      Would you fire an employee who donated a lot of money to Trump and spoke at the convention?

      An employee is the closest thing to what a part-time partner is. So stop splitting hairs to evade the question. Would you?

      So where exactly do you draw the line? How much do 37signals employees have to support Trump in order to be fired?

      Let's start with line being: 1) Registered delegate + 2) Keynote speaker + 3) $1.25m donor + 4) Active political surrogate.

      So you'd fire any 37signals employee who donated a lot to Trump, was a Trump delegate, and spoke at the RNC?

      That would probably be illegal. More importantly, I think it would be immoral, and very dangerous for America.

      After all, they'd have the same moral certainty you do. But can't you see the dangerous place that road leads to?

          You're willfully conflating billionaire Trump surrogate Peter Thiel with "employees who support Trump". False equivalence to the max

          And again, you're on the daily record decrying the UNIQUE DANGER that Trump poses. But you can't even disassociate with Thiel? Sham.
