Aaron Swartz, were he still alive today, would be voting for Trump on this alone

Can we please not do the "beloved dead person would have shared my political views" thing?

you're free to refuse to do so.

I'm speaking for myself.

that is my own, free opinion over what I admired about Aaron Swartz progressivism, and he wasn't a passive bystander for paywallers to meddle in policy to capture more for their bottom line. but I totally accept anyone disagreeing with me on that point, as you have.

and likewise, I understand the fallacy, but I'm also angry about what happened to Aaron Swartz, and will continue to advocate for him as long as *I live*.

because I was as progressive as him & as affine to the Democrat Party to that end.

but now I'm mad as hell, and not going to take it (the motte-and-bailey or the bootleggers) anymore.

I share your feelings about him. I just don't understand how you're mapping that onto how you think he would vote in this election.
