The point was that yesterday and/or today isn't always the best choice. In the case of sama/YC, it feels like one knee jerk reaction after another without any connective thought:

"Hey the ACLU is suing Trump ... let's add them as a non-profit in the next batch!"

"Yah that'll show em'!"

I don't agree with most of sama's election related comments and am unabashedly pro-Trump, but I mean this objectively: If you're going to pick a battle at least put some thought into it first.

Otherwise this all just looks a silly excuse to demonstrate YC (and particularly sama's) political biases.
