    Few have done more than Sam Altman to defeat Trump.

        So if Sam's not firing Peter Thiel is the high bit of his reputation for you, you prize orthodoxy over actions.

        "firing" is a completely false equivalency.

        It's the word YC uses internally. Do you really think *this* is the crux of the issue, morally?

        Is it ok to fire (or whatever word) a visiting professor for supporting the wrong candidate, but not a regular one?

        not to get all Godwin but would it be ok to do business with someone who helped Hitler?

        is there some instance in which you'd say "I won't do business with you"? If so, there must be a line to be crossed.

        Trump would revert marriage equality and ban all abortions. That's a pretty big deal.

        i don't talk much about them because i generally think it's bad for the head of an org like YC to be a political activist

        what about voting for third-party? You should vote according to your conscience--not who you predict will win
