Her cult followers

And here you just admitted that was bullshit and it wasn’t the same. Wild how you’re saying it again here!

Edit: I’m just going to go ahead and…

There we go, just for posterity.

I admitted that Democrats are overall more sane than Republicans. As a Democrat, I have no problem saying that. What I loath though is the Democrat attack dogs that can’t handle anything negative or a third party candidate. They go spread propaganda and make up things without ang evidence.

As a Democrat

I’m really going to struggle believing you with this considering your other comments, especially the “Hebrew School” bullshit.

Democrat attack dogs

LOL

can’t handle anything negative

There are plenty of negatives with the democrats. Literally none of them makes a Trump presidency an option worth seeing.

a third party candidate.

I’m going to correct you on this again. There are zero third party candidates which have any chance in this federal election. NONE*.

They are spoiler candidates. Its what RFK was, its what the Green Party has done for three elections now. This is not a debatable point. The only time Jill Stein shows up is when there is a federal election. This is her purpose. This isn’t propaganda, this is her proven track record.

You want third party? LOCAL ELECTIONS. Full stop, if there is no local, there is no federal. And there sure as hell isn’t a remote chance of a Presidential win.

Do you know how many Green Party members are currently federal officials? None.

NONE. Not a single one elected to any federal office.

Do you know how many are at the state level? As of today, NONE.

Less than 10 have ever been elected to a state position.

Talking about third parties for a presidential election is pure unabashed bullshit, intended to spoil the election, and the only people they pull votes from is Democrats.

So cut the crap.

I was attacked nonstop in my argument that there is no evidence to legitimately claim that Jill Stein is a Russian agent. This resulted in several attacks saying I work for Russia, that I’m paid to shill, that I work for the Chinese government, etc. In responding to these attacks I referenced Hebrew school because the same people had said I worked for a foreign nation, and Kamala has praised her loyalty to Netanyahu so I might as well make the same argument that they are Israeli propagandist that dislike Jill Stein since she like Bernie does not support the genocide in Palestine, unlike most Democrats.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want Kamala to win. You can be a Democrat but still take issue with certain elements or issues in the Democratic party. You don’t have to be pro-censorship or attack anyone who isn’t your preferred candidate with lies. It is everyone’s right to run for President and you just seem so upset that someone else would run. It shouldn’t matter to you at all that Jill Stein is running. Why are you so bothered by it? Are you afraid Kamala just isn’t that likeable? That Kamala being pro-genocide might cause enough people to vote for Jill Stein that Kamala can’t win? If that is the case then be mad at Kamala and get her to change her stance on the issue. Candidates should be scared of losing when they are proud of supporting war criminals.
