0/ Official YC post coming in the next couple of days, but to make my personal beliefs clear:
1) I am voting against Trump because I believe the principles he stands for represent an unacceptable threat to America.
-
-
2) I think he's absuvie, erratic, and prone to fits or rage. I think he is unfit to be President and would be a threat to national security.
-
3) Thiel is a high profile supporter of Trump. I disagree with this. YC is not going to fire someone for supporting a major party nominee.
-
3.5) That's a dangerous path to start down.
-
4) We need to talk to each other more, not less. Most people think roughly half the country is severely misguided.
-
5) Cutting off opposing viewpoints leads to extremism and will not get us the country we want.
-
6) Diversity of opinion is painful but critical to the health of a democratic society. We can't start purging people for political support.
-
7) Also, PG and I have contibutred more this election cycle than Peter has (as far as we know).
-
8) I don't ascribe all beliefs politicians hold to their supporters, although sometimes that really gets tested.

@sama We're talking about a man giving money to someone that abused several women, several times. YC should be above that. -
@sama that's why Thiels involvement in his campaign is unacceptable. I believe in democracy but there should be limits. I think this is one. -
@sama I can understand your position but Trump is extremely and highly dangerous. If he wins, it will have global negative repercussions. -
@sama Such a shame from someone whose intelligence I admire. How can you be ignorant of the vast corruption & immediate WW3 threats of HRC? -
@sama which principles? Secure border? Not antagonizing Russia? Trade? Or is it Trump's threat to existing political order? -
@sama@reidhoffman ah, if only Peter Thiel was listening…. -
@sama@reidhoffman Youre like the guy in the movie that doesnt really get it until its too late & then theyre screwed..... -
@sama@reidhoffman HE'S the threat???? Check out whats up in Germany, Sweden, etc..... -
-
@sama the only threat to America is Hillary and the lobbyist you wont be able to control once Trump is in. -
@sama Do I have that right? (3) -
@sama Trump: “Unnaceptable threat to America”. Unacceptable. But: Funding &avidly promoting “unacceptable threat”? Acceptable to you/YC. (2)
