I have always believed in the use of every tool in the toolbox-and that diversity of tactics cuts both ways. I endorse those who voted against Trump and I endorse those who fought against him in the streets on Jan 20 or at any time before or since. In war you concern yourself with winning more than with purity, or you find yourself focussed on the consequences of losing. The question of endorsing those who voted against Trump and who may vote him out in 2020 (or even those who might impeach him before then), is rather like the question faced by the YPG/YPJ of whether or not to accept help from the US in their fight against Daesh, the common enemy of all in that region.

It was once said that Hitler won a key vote (not sure if it was an election or a bill in the Reichstag) by a single vote. What would you do if you had a time machine, a pair of ballots valid for that vote, and a partner to cast a second vote? Almost any of Hitler's rivals would have made WWII shorter by being less effective, and probably the Holocaust would not have happened at all.
