Peter Thiel, YC, and hard decisions

I'm not sure I follow. Any political view usually affects all people in any room.

Are you referring to Trump's bigotry? Sure, I'll admit, he is definitely a character in that regard. But again there's realistically only 2 choices. Thiel is going to take whichever one is closest. It's not ideal but that's the choice Libertarians are often forced to make.

Get a bunch of men in a room, and discuss abortion.

Get a bunch of straight folks in a room and discuss AIDS research funding.

Get a bunch of white folks in a room and discuss police treatment of African-Americans.

Get a bunch of 5th-generation Americans in a room and discuss funding for ESL programs in schools.
