I'd try to intellectually point out why you're completely wrong and Trump is an imminent danger to our country (see: Turkey the past two years), but I see that you live in Washington, which means your vote for Trump is irrelevant.



Please don't bring someone's personal details into an argument on HN. That's a breach of HN's rules.

It's listed in his public HN profile, it's not like I'm doxxing him.

It's also relevant to the discussion at hand: a non-democratic vote in the state of Washington, due to the electoral college winner-take-all allotment, will not have any impact on the final outcome of the state. I'm not attacking him for where he lives; it's merely pointing out a fact of life.


No, this is established moderation practice on HN and I must insist on the point. Finding personal details and bringing them back to an argument as ammunition is unduly personal and therefore not allowed here.

I'm sure you didn't mean any harm and agree that doxxing would be worse, but it still degrades the quality of discourse when people do this. So please don't do this.


I'm probably going to vote for Gary Johnson - if I vote at all. I'm so disgusted by the Republican Party Platform, what I was considering before the convention is all for naught now.
