If I have time later, I may explain the rationale a little bit better*, but you can get a good sense of my frame of mind by reading this op-ed from today:

As for running a Muslim in particular, if there's an Islamic terror attack on U.S. soil during the campaign, then we auto-lose. I know no one wants to hear that ****, but I don't know how not to believe it. If you don't believe it, then idk what country you think you live in. It's amazing to me that people are still citing Obama's margins as if it's racism solved, never have to worry about it in elections again. Like what did we just witness? It's not about 96k votes in those places, it's about more white people jumping ON board for that **** than jumping off. And with four years of Steve Bannon et al in the White House, it becomes only more normalized. We just got told falsely by major news sites that Trump saved some jobs from Mexico. And he's not even President yet!
* Please convince me that I'm wrong. I want to be convinced of that. But you have to do better than DVaut tossing off a bunch of flourishes that sound cool and filled with ennui, but ultimately seem centered on the bad premise that at least the Dem voters will act reasonably and predictably, when the same people couldn't be bothered to turn out against a fascist.
