I'm a little lost. How is the bigotry and misogyny of someone with a very real chance to be elected President of the United States and Command in Chief of the world's largest military force not a political issue?
It is a political issue but so is sending drones out to kill people without trial.
There are collateral damage to all political decisions you are just more accepting some rather than those the Trump supporters accept.
That doesn't mean they can't have a higher political goal than purely bigotry. In fact I believe both Altman and Thiel shows that you can in fact disagree without shaming.
What's your point? I agree with you about drones. You know who doesn't? Donald Trump. Donald Trump doesn't merely support using drones against terrorists. He thinks we should firebomb Raqqa. He thinks that the families of terrorists should be captured and tortured in order to dissuade terrorists. He is in favor of --- he said this publicly --- limited regional tactical nuclear war. He is a staunch advocate of torture, not just to obtain information (itself an odious plan) but as retributive justice to those who oppose him.
Peter Thiel supports this man. He donates millions to his campaign. He's a surrogate for the campaign. He stood on stage and endorsed the campaign even as dozens of senior Republicans refused. He donated just last week, so much that he made the front page of CNN, after Trump pivoted to attacking the election itself.
If drones are a major concern of yours, good on you! You, too, should be working as diligently as possible to prevent Donald Trump from killing millions of people in new military strikes.
Trump is for firebombing Raqqa. Trump is for capturing and torturing the families of terrorists. I don't have to extrapolate his platform from the definition of "isolationist". He has made his plans clear.
