If Altman is comfortable with the idea that his actions are encouraging people to comfortably support Donald Trump, then I'm comfortable with him continuing to endorse Peter Thiel.

He personally endorsed the opposing candidate. What more can he do?

Any more would send the wrong signal and establish a odious norm in our free society.

He can stop endorsing an active, diligent member of Trump's campaign.

You keep using that word "endorsing". I think it does not mean what you think it means.

Altman has made it quite clear that he endorses neither Trump nor Thiel's support of him.

"Endorsing" and "refusing to purge" are two different things entirely.

Do you really see no difference between the two?
