Mr. Pitt's truthout blog was just dumb. The electorate is faced with a binary choice and since the future is at stake, we have to make a choice. By criticizing both candidates, Mr. Pitt is opting out of the franchise. Since he doesn't support the Democratic candidate, I'm not even certain that I understand why he posted on DU.

Now, to your criticism about Mr. Pitt's approach in this thread, MADem. You are exactly correct to smack him for using the Twelve Steps as a crutch to attack Donald Trump. There are endless items that can be used to discredit Mr. Trump. Using the AA program is insulting to the many, many people who struggle with addiction. In addition, his vulgar post wasn't funny in the least.

Because of Mr. Pitt's dismissal of both candidates and for this lame and juvenile post, I agree: this is a total fail.
