Thank you for not voting for Trump.

" this CEO, IMO, thinks he's on the 'right side of history.'"
So do you; otherwise you'd be voting for Trump.

"let me address your view that not voting for either candidate is the same as voting for Trump."
Some Dems said the same thing about Hillary last time. That means you can vote for Trump, Biden, and your preferred choice with just one check mark, and none dare call it fraud.

That CEO understands it's war out there and Trump must be removed. It is a battle for the heart and soul of the American Spirit. We want this country to become a Democracy. A Republic is not healthy. If we gain control, we will try to end the electoral college and the fillibuster, move a step closer to Socialized Medicine, prop up the working class and unions and give them more leverage against big corporations. Stack the Supreme Court with more liberal judges to compensate what the Republicans have done to Garland and the Evangelical. We can shove judges down your throat too.

From your narrow minded libertarian perspective, I can certainly see how you could take the email as unprofessional. But it is war out there and fighting for the heart and soul of the USA takes precedence. If you don't agree, you can always move on, of course. No one is forcing you to remain with this company.

Tenchu's Thoughts (Follow-up): GFY Expensify

Seems like I wasn't the only one that Expensify pissed off. This just appeared in the Wall Street Journal.

WSJ - Expensify CEO Urges Customers to Vote Against Trump
In email to millions, software startup chief says a vote against Biden ‘is a vote against democracy’

Most companies are trying to avoid getting enmeshed in presidential politics this election season. Not software company Expensify.

The San Francisco-based startup plunged into the political deep end Thursday when its chief executive sent an anti-Trump email to roughly 10 million users of its software, saying that “anything less than a vote for Biden is a vote against democracy.”

The move set off a social-media debate over how political companies should be and what it means for their business and employees. Some Expensify customers said online that they would stop using the company’s expense-reporting tools, while others said they would start using its software because of the email.
