Peter Thiel To Join Trump Transition Team
Serious question: is there
any
action he could take,
any
line he could cross, literally
anything
he could do or say that would ever, in your mind, be sufficient to justify refusing to associate with him?

He could have voted for a war (that more than a fifth of the Senate opposed) that cost trillions of dollars and cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

When the U.S. went to Iraq,
I
had a political opinion. HRC had a
choice.

Here's a hint: this is exactly how many people feel about Thiel, Trump, and what's expected from the Trump administration.

My point is that if voting for the Iraq war can be forgiven,
anything
can be forgiven.

You're conflating political opinions with political actions. Pulling the trigger on a preemptive war is not an opinion, it's an action.

So is donating over a million dollars to a campaign an opinion or an action, then?

Yes.
