[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're voting for Trump, you are aligning yourself with things like this:

Lovely. I will say I don't for a moment believe that Trump himself is anti-Semitic (in the sense of thinking Jews are evil, though he clearly does subscribe to some stereotypes). I don't even really think he is racist. I do think he is a misogynist. But the problem for me is that even without being these things, he somehow inspires a rabid following among people who are violently anti-Semitic and racist and misogynist. Because he is willing to use rhetoric that appeals to them even if he doesn't believe it. Hence the refusal to disavow David Duke, etc. I find it almost worse that a man who doesn't even believe this stuff is willing to exploit it. It's indicative of serious character flaws and it makes me seriously question his judgment and integrity.[/quote]
