Mrs. Clinton, You Already Beat Bernie Sanders. Trump Is the Opponent Now.

Bernie Sanders is a puritan.

We don’t have to be ‘upstanders’ to avoid genocides. We just have to make sure not to help them along.

The path to holocausts is created by puritanisms in conflict.
Revealed truth is the enemy of all futures.
The truth has no capital letter in my opinion.

Thanks a lot, Mitch McConnell.
