    I voted for Bernie am a progressive, and the CEO's actions sound like something a right-wing nutjob would do... Have we the left moved so far right we've become the nutjobs? (Bernie people aside of course)

    First of all I feel there was nothing wrong in the original email. Trump's ideas about immigrants, muslims, women were largely accepted as wrong and he himself has either apologized for them or started to remove parts of it from his website. So if there are employees who voted for Trump for those ideas they obviously would poison any workplace.

    Second, republican supporters still work at the company. Bad mouthing the product and the app is not going to do good to any one. Not the people who work there, not to the 100s of people who survive on delivering food and 1000s of restaurants that are profitable due to orders.

    I do not like to stereotype people. But the set of people who left such reviews as an impulsive act are definitely kind of people who are not going to do any good to society or US. And fox news and other similar media do no good to either side by manipulating news to create a strong divide. Yes got to get over what happened. But things are just sad indeed.
