    Can’t wait for a bunch of morons to come in here explaining how she’s not a Russian/Republican asset that’s only running as a spoiler candidate.

    • Challenge accepted…

      If she were an actual Russian agent (accepting orders from officials there) she’d be legally required to register as such. Considering her national prominence, she’d likely be investigated on this if she was a Russian agent but wasn’t registered as such. And that list is public so if she were registered, we’d know about it.

      So she’s just a “useful idiot” for the Russians. The GOP on the other hand … well, I haven’t quite seen an RFK Jr moment yet but I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    What the ever living FUCK? In a race with reasonable candidates, sure. But if not Harris, then it’ll be a literal fascist, who promised that if he wins no one will need to vote again.

    What the fuck is Jill Stein doing, cutting off her nose to spite her face?

    • How: Spoiler candidate
    • Why: paid for/useful idiot/ego

    It’s crazy to think that to her, she’ll consider a Trump victory a win even if she loses.

    Who cares what Jill Stein says?

    Seriously, why let her speak for those groups when they have their own political groups who leaders literally just said this week the most important thing is stopping trump, then focusing on moving Harris away from supporting a genocide?

    I legitimately don’t see the point in posting an article that’s only quotes from a known foreign actor trying to throw the election to that country’s preferred candidate…

      We need to watch closely, as this is an experienced spoiler candidate so we’ve got to be prepared with countermeasures.

      Who says she’s doing this? She’s speaking for herself, but just using these folks as cover.

      who leaders literally just said this week the most important thing is stopping trump, then focusing on moving Harris away from supporting a genocide?

      Not everyone follows the leader. It’s a free country after all. So we’ve still got to win over the hearts and minds of these folks. But those leaders are right in terms of priorities.

    -claims to be against the US sending weapons to Isreal while they’re conducting a genocide

    -works to ensure the election of a man who’s prior history of presiding over foreign policy towards Isreal proves that he would support them in this even more than the present administration.

    Make it make sense.

    If Democrats want to go full Republican they deserve to lose. She is right, too many democrats want to win more than they want to end genocide. And this coming from the same people that claim to support marginalized communities.
