I agree with the author's realization that we probably won't all be able to get along. I think it's a harsh truth that you can either choose to accept or spend a long time trying to fight, and I think much of Silicon Valley falls into the latter. Because of the huge reach and influence of the internet, Silicon Valley (and other areas of large influence) have a bad habit of developing a messiah complex where they see themselves as world ambassadors of peace and justice, striving for an egalitarian world free of 'hatred'. The problem is that the people that get pushed out of this utopia don't just vanish; you end up with people inside the utopia and people outside the utopia. You now have two different groups. So much for the idea of a world of unity and singularity.
The CEO of Snopes himself ended up in a scandal last year https://www.forbes.com/sites/kalevleetaru/2016/12/22/the-dai.... Who can we trust to fact-check those claims? Who's fact-checking the fact-checkers?
Kalanick should have doubled down. "Yeah, I was mean, but the guy was a d*ck." Then again, I'm just an armchair analyst. I don't have a multi-billion dollar company to handle.
Also, Facebook endured alot of external backlash for continuing to have him on the Board, so much that Facebook had to release a statement to address it: http://s13.postimg.org/ohe1sci6f/mmexport1476831885441.jpg
I would consider most undecided voters to be sane, rational people with good consciences because I admit that both candidates have their warts and what it all boils down to is what would best for the country. With that said, the undecided voter knows better than to even think about publicly expressing that they might consider voting Trump, out of fear of having their property stolen or burned, reputation tarnished, etc.
The left has been hijacked by extreme left-wing groups taking the podium from classical liberals, and the party itself is imploding under the repeated revelations from Wikileaks and Project Veritas. It truly is an election that will go down in history.
