If Mark is unsure about what makes Peter throw his weight behind Trump, why not ask him?
Not that he is answerable but if he has good reasons I'm sure he wouldn't mind talking about them.

#63It seems to be a typical postmodern viewpoint that every idea is equally valid. But even if you're not "racist, sexist, xenophobic, or accepting sexual assault", if you, as a reasonably minded individual, back Trump, you're condoning all of these things, which is really just as bad ... Not everybody's idea is valid!
that's just your opinion and I feel bad that I'm voting for the same candidate as someone like you who doesn't tolerate other people's political choices.
I feel equally as bad that this person has been fed a narrative and hasn't gone out to debunk the propaganda and find out what is really going on behind the curtain. We can have a disagreement, sure, but when the argument is just shouting "sexist, racist, homophobe, xenophobe", etc. it's clear there's no real political discourse to be had, which is sad because there's a boatload of disgusting politics and corruption being exposed right now.

I'm not from the States. From Europe and watching in disbelief. My point was that supporting a sexist, xenophobic candidate is to condone his sexism and xenophobia. To tolerate this for some political or personal agenda is to be intolerant.

#65I get it that you can't fire someone over his support of a political candidate but what about his public views on rape and racism: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/21/peter-thi...

#66Zuckerberg should look at his own aegist, chauvinist company and get rid of discrimination in his own company before critiquing others who he feels are not imbracing diversity.
