Hey, you just blocked my account on Twitter saying I'm a Bernie bro. I'm not from the US but I would have absolutely voted for Clinton if I could have (a Trump presidency will affect the rest of the world in negative ways too).
I've been listening to your podcast for years, I wasn't trying to harass you. Sorry if you felt that way.
My apologies. As you can imagine, I've had to develop a quick 'trigger-finger' on blocking people on Twitter this year; there've been too many random people coming out of the woodwork. I saw your tweet come by, didn't look that hard at it, and blocked instinctively. I took another look and you are right - my action was unwarranted. I see where you were coming from and I apologize. I think we're all on edge, and frankly, it's one of those situations where we've all been the weeds so long it's becoming hard to tell enemies from friends.
So I'm sorry - I unblocked you, and I deleted those other tweets I made. My bad. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to us and to write this comment. I am sorry you had to do so, and I wish you all the best.
No problem, thanks. The next four years are going to potentially be spent defending basic rights, so a degree of anger is to be expected.
From the UK here, so our brexit situation has equally made people of other races and creeds believe they're not welcome and don't belong. It's definitely going to be hard to stay positive, but the sentiment of this article holds. We're taking a setback now, but we'll win in the end.
