I’m glad I’m not on Twitter.

I’ve noted it before here, but I’ll note it again, in case someone wants to remind some person who claims he is a Sanders voter will instead vote for Trump (by his own definition, Trump is part of the 0.1%, that is, an oligarch, the specific group Sanders ran against having more power and money):

I supported Sanders in my state caucuses, phone banking, and general help in my deeply-red state. As a local official, I even endorsed him in the newspaper (though I doubt the senator heard about that).

Sanders’s family, like mine, came from Poland. Sanders’s family arrived here when racism against Slavs was rampant.

My own family fled in advance of the Nazi invasion of Poland. My grandfather joined the Army and went back, fighting and dying to defeat the government supporting that ideology and slaughtering millions of people.

If you would support a fascist oligarch over Hillary Clinton because you don’t like what the GOP has said about her for thirty years, you are not a progressive. I also doubt you are a Sanders supporter either, since he said he would vote for her. I will work just as hard for her as I did for Mr. Sanders.

If you willing to vote for evil, then you support evil. Mr. Trump is promulgating evil.

Fortunately, amongst the Sanders supporters I know here, there are none that would give a microsecond of thought to voting for Trump. The people I associate with are not evil.
