Perhaps it's a sign of the times, where anybody can just post their HOT TAKES out there for anyone to see. The thing is HOT TAKES usually lack nuance. There's so much black-and-white thinking going on...

"If you vote for trump you're a deplorable! If you vote for Stein you're voting for Trump! If you vote for Clinton then you're right!"

Man, whatever. I have nothing good to say about this kind of small-minded thinking. I just wish more people would realize how dumb a majority of society is. That's MY luke-warm take.
