Nothing the campaign is doing is "right-wing" or "disinformation." What bullshit. And I'm tired of the "race is over" meme. It is undemocratic and is tantamount to an attempt to disenfranchise voters.

The call for "citizenship" and "what's good for America" is laughable. As an aside, we are the United States not "America." That makes Krugman sound like an old imperialist tool.

It is his candidate who should exercise some citizenship and stop shilling for the rich and powerful, pay to play under the guise of charity, raking in tens of millions doing their bidding.

It is his candidate who should exercise some citizenship and stop shilling for the neo-con elite who look to invade everywhere, killing thousands while their kith and kin are ensconced comfortably in their pretty homes.

This article is Krugman honking for Hillary. What a disgrace.
