The willingness, even eagerness, of some Bernie supporters to toss this election to Trump while flashing their prideful badge of "purity" has left me gobsmacked. That comment seems to be very astute.

This excerpt from the Tucker article has been said over and over and over, especially in the AA group here, but it bears repeating:

The decision to remain neutral in a Trump-Clinton contest is one that can only be made from a position of racial and economic privilege. The African-Americans, Latinos, Asians and disadvantaged Americans of all colors who would be beaten down by Trump’s policies don’t have the luxury of remaining neutral. Do the folks who say they will sit on the sidelines in a Trump-Clinton matchup realize how crucial the outcome of this election will be for America’s shunned and stigmatized?
