4. If he and his generation prefer surrendering to fascism, it's OK

I'm an old man. I've seen the best and the worst in Washington politics. I've seen the best and worst inhabit the presidency. I agree with Michael More's comment that Bill Clinton was, in effect, a Republican president, I felt that Barrack Obama did much less for the workers in this Country and a ton more for the elite, bailing out banks and corporations while millions of American families lost their homes through foreclosure, for example.

But I know very well what Trump and his ugly, soulless minions have done to this country and its people, and its core principles. I know that Trump and his minions have ignored the law, ignored the Constitution, the basic human rights of both immigrants and citizens. I know Trump has done that while filling his pockets with literally billions of dollars, gifts from the biggest and ugliest segments of corporate society, of the world.

And I know that 2 good, decent American citizens were murdered by Trump in full view of the American people, murdered in a city occupied by absolutely the worst of the worst of us, ICE, armed and masked, beating, gassing, and disappearing people in plain view. America, my America, was revolted, horrified, and disgusted by Trump's Federal Government perpetrated on Minneapolis.

It is clear to me, a certainty to me, Vance is so far up Trump's butt that there is no way he would institute reforms to restore the moral and legal order in America. He'll carry the banner of murderous, racist fascism forward.

If Hasan and his folks think that Gavin Newsom is "the same" they are welcome to their sick and foolish opinion.

I, for one, would vote for Shapiro, for Pritzker, for Swalwell, for Newsome, for any, any, any of the contenders for the Democratic primary. If me and mine are in the minority in the Democratic Party, we will at least go down fighting. Hasan would simply pretend the problem posed by virulent fascism does not exist. or is not serious. That is wrong, dead wrong, ugly wrong. But, hey, to each his own.

But please remember, Hasan and those who are persuaded by him to vote third party: third party votes and non-votes gave Trump the Supreme Court and the bully pulpit to get the moral, racist, dregs of American society to rise up in joy at the atrocities committed by a pedophile and pedophile supporter against the people and foundations of American democracy.

So, Hasan, have a good life. Mine is almost over and I now feel like I'm leaving just before the fire this sick, morally demented fat man has started engulfs everything worthwhile in this Country.
