10. Excuse me!?

I am calling them out for ignoring the FACT that their candidate is openly and hardily backed by white supremacists, mysoginists, anti-semites and other vile creatures. If they join THAT group, I will name them.
It is incredibly damaging to support these people in any way. Ii opens the door to hate in many directions. They ignore the fact that they exist. Trump has expressed excluion and hatred.
If I support candidates with sketchy supporters that they they don't thoroughly disavow, I better be ready to defend my position. I also better look at why they support that candidate.
One of my lines in the concrete is ZERO support for racists. No other positions they take along with that will convince me to join them.
