Lind doesn't understand what he's talking about, his article is the definition of "stuck in the 1990s". This election more than any other is based on cultural issues--and I don't mean silly crap like can fags get married or is a fetus a human being. Those are stupid wedge issues that the Dems and GOP have both used to whip up their respective bases.
No, this election goes deeper than that. It is an election as to shall the culture be culturally libertarian, as in everyone can do, be and say whatever they like (I like to think of this as being Traditionally American). Or will the culture be culturally authoritarian where one has to be afraid of the latest Euphemism for black people, or be concerned over they can use the "whatever" restroom.
As I've pointed out before in this forum Trump is re-aligning the GOP to take over the mantle as the Party of Cultural Libertarianism.
As such the Cultural Authoritarians must align themselves with the Democrats.
Rather Lind is trying to justify, at least to himself and maybe others with Cultural Libertarian instincts to remain voting for Democrats even though that party has already or will become the party opposed to their own cultural viewpoints. In short he is trying to justify going against his own intersts because if he expects the freedom to publish anything that isn't the Party Line under a Regressive Left regime then he has already drank the kool aid and is therefore a lost cause.

It really is all mathematics.
