there are literally people trying to get him fired over his mild comments

I mean yeah people are gravely overreacting to him being your run of the mill centrist idiot

He's 100% right, but unfortunately facts, reason, and evidence are lost on the far left. The far left has literally collapsed into identity politics and insanity.

To be fair, there are literally people who aren't, and don't disagree with what he's saying. I suspect they far outnumber the former.

right but those people aren't the cancer that needs to be fired into the sun

Please, you'd be among the first to conflate them with the entire side of the political spectrum they sit on.

Although the firing people into the sun idea does have some merit...
---

And some people actually claim the behavior of the Democrats aren't driving people away from their party.

This is just one example of somebody somewhat famous (sort of). There's hundreds of thousands, if not millions more, who are being turned off by the Democrats.

Where is #gamergate? Isn't this where they'd normally be screeching to leave politics out of their video games?

He's saying what a huge portion on the left have been saying for years. So what's not to like?

The problem with this stance is it's a very short hop between "listen to us" and "do what we say and we'll SAY we let you have more power, but really we'll just take more".

Also, he's already kinda lost me at "You want ME back?" Pretty arrogant, especially assuming millions like him hold his specific views.

If dude's gonna say he voted for Trump because he's sick of being told to be politically correct, then I don't think he's got quite enough of a grasp on the issues.

I'm not saying he should be fired from Blizzard nor harassed, but we ALL need to check ourselves every so often.

It reads like he's threatening to vote for Trump unless we stop using our free speech. BTW stop trying to obstruct free speech.

So he voted for Trump out of spite and wants to the other party he didn't vote for change completely for him?

That's pretty laughable.

It's stunning that you lack the self awareness to realize that people could say the same thing about your side, where "listen" is conflated with "do what we say or else."

The rest of your post was bullshit too. There ARE tens of millions who feel the same as him. Literally nothing he said was unreasonable, except the far left will construe it as such because they are rabid and hungry for total control over people's thoughts and words.

He is acting like a bitch who won't see a movie / play a game because of it's fans.

If he thinks he shares more values with Trump then fucking go vote Trump. That's all I have to say about the matter.

He didn't vote out of spite. He clearly didn't like the way the Democrats were headed. He listed very valid points as to why he's leery about voting for a Democrat ever again, unless things change. Go back and read his tweets--very good points.

I mean, when the Democrat candidate was a race baiting lunatic who cheated her way into the nomination and was utterly dishonest and manipulative the entire race, it's not really like he picked someone that much worse. Especially considering that the Democrat party devolved into hating white people for everything, wanting open or weak borders, wanting to tax successful people more each year, etc.

If really cared about the direction of the Democrats, he would vote in the primaries and not bitch about it on twitter.

This. This is how all functioning adults vote. Anyone else isn't worth giving the time of day. Shit like "I voted for spite" is literally the attitude of a child

It's been almost 2 years and people still seriously believe this shit.

Yes. Trump has in fact been much worse.

Even if Trump hadn't been much worse I don't need to be fucking threatened by him that he'll "vote Trump again unless I stop hurting his feelings"

I don't think he should be fired but he should shut the fuck up.

In this case the "fans" help control Democrat policy and the Democrats are trying to cater to the fans in order to gain power.

The further left the fans go, it seems the Democrats are headed in that direction.

I remember a country, not too long ago, where outrage culture and being perpetually offended didn't exist. That was just 10 years ago. The Democrat party and many of their supports have changed considerably and it's almost unrecognizable to me. The media has changed, pop culture has changed--all to promote this sensitive agenda.

I watched this all unfold in a matter of years--- it's astounding how far left we've become. Abolish ICE? Open borders? Rioting when conservatives speak? Give me a break... Seriously.

I mean it's one thing to not want to vote democrat because the party doesn't appear to align with what you believe in anymore, but how does voting for the party you didn't agree with prior to this help you? Would voting third party not have been a better decision? I feel like Americans don't consider all of their options before they make decisions.

And there are tens of millions of people who feel against him.

The real effort won't be converting people who voted for Trump. The popular vote confirms that that's not the issue. The effort will be getting those who didn't vote in 2016 back out to vote.

If dude wants a good candidate, fine. We all want a good candidate. I'm not saying we shouldn't ask for one. But saying "lay off my fiction and I'll not vote for Trump" is just petty.

Yes, people are lashing out. They're angry and don't have anyone to rally behind. Yet. I mean this is the kind of twitter rant that basically is saying something I've heard conCErvatives go on about: asking "Where's the 2020 Democratic candidate?" when the 2018 midterm primaries aren't even all over. Messages are going to solidify once we get to the 2018 generals and beyond. Ocasio-Cortez already has hers laid out squarely and Hannity is well into Stage 2 brickshitting over them.

Again literally none of this shit matters.

If you think Trump is better than Hillary because Pelosi said not to call immigrants animals that's your problem. Not mine, and I don't have to bend over backwards to make you feel better about what meanie Pelosi said.

Voting 3rd party wouldn't help much either. The thing that will make the biggest impact would be to get engaged with the democrat party directly. Such as voting in primaries. People can complain that neither party is supporting their views, but I bet you most of those people aren't active outside of voting for the president every 4 years.

Trump was the third party, and it's not hard to figure that out.

He was the closest thing we will ever see to a third party candidate for many, many, many years to come. If ever.

I agree. I'm just saying people need to vote for the person they believe will do a better job for the country and/or who checks most of their boxes when it comes to what side they fall on for certain issues. Voting based soley on party affiliation or because you feel the need to "punish" the party you supported in the first place is more of a waste than voting for a candidate with a low chance of winning an election.

"Technically" on paper he was not a third party candidate.

In real life, he was. He ran completely different than all other republicans, didn't even pledge support for the party in the first debate---by all purposes he hijacked the Republican party. And he's certainly not running the country like a typical Republican, either.

- Don't be butthurt I voted for Trump
- Get rid of political correctness and don't criticize anything that's meant to be a joke or fiction
- Stop focusing on any gender disparities in tech and leave my industry alone

Yikes. Pretty clear what his priority is here.

As far as I can tell most of his points aren't even specific to democrats anyway. Sounds like all he needs is a democrat with a catchy slogan based around hope and he'll be fine lol.

I agree with all the those taking points and theyre not all advice for the progressive crowd.

We need to go back to being rational instead of whiny weak bitches.

This.
The left has become of the mind that you fall in line with our exact beliefs about x, y, z and accept them as fact or you're the enemy who needs to be silenced.
And I just can't see any way forward where this line of thinking stops. There's no more middle ground.

He says "stop campaigning on 'Impeach' or 'Resist' " but that's not a driving force behind most congressional candidates in primaries up to this point.
