Wait, I thought we were opposed to forcing people out of their jobs because of their political speech
I have two replies to that.
Firstly, I don’t want people to lose their regular jobs over their beliefs. A nurse who works for a hospital shouldn’t be fired for being a communist, a neo-Nazi, an Islamic extremist, Satanist, or any other sort of world view that people consider extreme. As long as she does her job, she should keep it.
Being a campaign staffer isn’t a normal job. It is a job based on political activism where ostensibly you are supposed to represent the views and agenda of the candidate you work for. Bernie Sanders is under no obligation to fire this guy, but if he doesn’t then it might be reasonable to suspect that Bernie and this guy might share the same opinions.
Secondly, if the left is going to doxx people on the right, try to get us fired from our jobs, try to terrorize and ruin our lives, then what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. It’s better to have a fist fight than a gun fight. It’s better to have a honorable war than one where civilians are targeted and WMD’s are used. But I also think that you need to fight fire with fire, to deter people from dirty fighting if nothing else. If someone is going use such tactics against you, you use it against them too or you lose.
Ideally people shouldn’t get fired for their politics, but if I uphold my own standards while the left uses any means necessary, I would be playing right into the Alinskyite tactics used by the left.
