William Rivers Pitt: Coward-in-Chief: Trump Wilts in the Face of Fascist Terrorism

123. There were a lot of white men and women who felt they had that luxury.

If they had not done so, we'd not be facing what we're facing today. So many people were encouraging purity votes for Stein (not people who actually gave a crap about the Green Party or its stances) but as a protest vote. Many left the slot blank, and many wrote in something dumb and left the ballot blank.

The vote was stolen, and Pitt, Stein and the various bots that switched from Bernie to Jill en masse online helped the Russians and the GOP to steal it.

There was plenty we could have done to change that, but anyone stating that purity was not so pure in this instance were ridiculed, silenced, attacked, abused and pretty much harassed. That behavior is still going on all over the internet.

Putting blame where it belongs will keep us from falling for that deliberate divisive idiocy again.

It's important that he be held accountable, along with everyone else who responded to "vote for the only qualified candidate on the ballot" with anything other than a vote. 70,000 votes. That what this guy and people like him swayed, and that was all it took.
