Stein's campaign says it wants nothing to do with Duke, the former American Nazi Party member
Stein’s campaign manager, Jason Call, disavowed the endorsement and called Duke "trash."
That is how it is done. Unlike Harris. Who went on a parade with Liz Cheney, and praised Dick Cheney for his work after they endorsed her.
The funniest part about this is I had no idea David Duke was alive. He was the main villain of BlackKKlansman. Imagine living to see yourself get written as the villain of a hit movie.
Also, mandatory fuck David Duke and Jill Stein.
If you think this reflects badly on stein ask yourself 2 questions, did he endorse her because she's also a white supremacist? Did she accept the endorsement?
The answer to the first is probably no since stein is a Jewish women so I don't think she'd get along well with all the other white supremacists who think she's sub-human. The reason he endorsed her was because she's the only one who would end the war in Gaza and fight the "Jewish lobby". If your a Zionist and believe that any action against Israel is anti-Semitic then yeah stein and Duke are the same. If you live outside that delusional world then you'd recognize dukes dislike for Israel and steins, (and most of the worlds) dislike for Israel come from two completely different values systems and world views.
The answer to the second is easier, No, her campaign rejected it and called him trash as soon as they heard about it.
So does this actually reflect badly on stein, or is this just the ravings of an insane person who's trying to elect a Jewish woman to take out his imagined grand Jewish conspiracy? Critique stein if you want but this is nothing.
Didn't Richard Spencer endorse Biden in a game of 64D chess as a 5000 IQ play?
....
Still either way, Jill's an Ableist Transphobe on Putin's payroll and even if she wasn't, she cannot win a single state under the current Electoral College so she could be literally the second coming of Christ and it wouldn't matter.
Hmm.. I wonder why a certain user who’s been posting non-stop about third-party candidates for the entire lifespan of their account chose to ignore this particular article. One would assume it’s important for the voting public to know about this, no?
Here, I'll channel my energy into a representative comment so you don't feel left out.
"I'm not voting for her. You're free to vote for whoever you want."
"I didn't write the article."
<insert 40 paragraph spiel about fairness and lemmy always attacking them boo hoo>
You forgot to call me “friend” and channel punchable face energy with one of these 🤗 but I’ll give you an A for effort.
Who are you referring to? I'm debating some "Harris needs to earn my vote. So it's her fault if Trump wins." idiots right now.
Unfortunately if I name this person there’s a good likelihood this discussion gets removed since the rules prohibit calling out bad faith actors, even the painstakingly obvious ones. So I’ll leave you with this: you needn’t look far to find that which you seek.
It's @[email protected]. It's always @[email protected], and it's so unbearably obvious that they should've been banned long, long ago because all they do is pollute this community with Russian propaganda. I don't honestly care at this point if they are or are not literally paid (their post/comment frequency is staggering if they aren't); it's nevertheless the effect they have. This community is objectively a worse place with them here.
Edit: Again, I emphasize without engaging with them and giving them carte blanche to spam even more: every single word that comes out of their mouth is dripping with disingenuity.
My life got much better after I blocked that account a few weeks ago
No more burnin no more hangin. From now on we will compost the bodies. #GreenHoods
Ok, that's pretty funny. An endorsement shouldn't be taken too seriously (given a certain string of endorsements I don't like for Harris) but it's still really funny. Fuck Jill Stein.
Aaaaand there ya go. This is all you need to know about Jill Stein right? Because if Harris is a conservative because of Cheney’s endorsement….
Or are the rules different?
Hahahaha. Of course he did.
Can we all finally agree that supportingJill Stein is being the 11th person at the table?
