I think it’s fairly obvious who the more fascist candidate is here. I think it says something that Trump is too fascist for Cheney.

Also, shoving Stein’s words in her face doesn’t mean OP agrees with those words, just that Stein’s words are particularly problematic at the moment.

Cheney almost certainly is concerned about Trump mismanaging US foreign policy, not his fashiness.

Just my opinion, as an idiot with no marketable skills: I think the more fascist candidate is the one who attempted a coup on Jan 6.

If I can figure it out, what’s other people’s excuse?

Posting Stein’s tweet is a good burn, but not much more.

Applying Stein’s logic to herself: what did she do to “earn” David Duke’s endorsement? That’s easy: she backed Palestine over Israel. Even if a racist happens to agree, that doesn’t make that stance wrong.

You ding dongs just lazily skim headlines, post as perceived support for your argument and don’t realize that the article content just highlights how laughable your stated position is - the article that you posted basically talks about these generally horrible people tried everything they could to get on board with trump’s horseshit through their well developed deny/lie skillset… and they couldn’t. Them supporting a Harris vote speaks more to the failure of trump to state any rational coherent plan that these evil selfish cowards could get on board with. These fuckers want the USA to live so they can try to fuck it again in the future, so they endorse the adult in the room.

republicans needs Democrats to rebuild the jenga board every other election cycle so they can have something to headbutt on their next turn. trump wants to take the already toppled board, shove a few pieces up his ass and set the rest on fire Bertie flipping the entire table. Then he wants to make you walk the floor covered in broken, flaming Jenga blocks barefoot. And during all of this, kid rock music is playing VERY LOUD.

Yes, because they understand what a threat to their own existence Trump is. They are doing it out of self interest.

David Duke just likes Jill Stein’s views lmao.

David Duke is responsible for my phase where I grew out of a simplistic view of politics and economics and started looking into things a little deeper. Hear me out: Back in the day, I went through a Libertarian phase. I supported Ron Paul. I was young and stupid, what can I say? Anyway, I read some news article that claimed that David Duke donated to his campaign. I was like, “Hmmm, what’s this all about?” And so began my realization that things are never as simple as we want them to be. So, thanks for being a racist dick, David Duke. Without your donation to Ron Paul raising my suspicions, it may have been at least a few more months before I picked up on the rotten smell. I might have actually put that stupid bumper sticker on and everything (shudder).

David Duke’s endorsement is a slander, and I think he knows that and uses it intentionally.

That’s OK. If it gives a few more people one more reason not to vote Jill Stein, I’ll take it.

Seriously. Jill Stein has done nothing and doesn’t deserve anyone’s vote.

In this recent case, yes. I never made a statement one way or the other on that in my comment, though. Being the type of person he is, he has the choice of being either serious or unserious with his endorsements. Putin does the same thing when he makes some sort of open statement regarding who he would prefer to win the election.

Back in the day, I went through a Libertarian phase. I supported Ron Paul.

You and the entirety of reddit in the 2012 election I think. To be fair, there’s plenty liberals and libertarians agree on. Unfortunately, you can share some common beliefs with someone and they can still be a piece of shit.

I was ahead of the curve and liked Ron Paul in early 2008. He made some damn good points about the housing market back in 2007. Turns out he was right and the market collapsed.

That bought him some credibility, but then the Tea Party happened. It was ugly enough that I took a harder look at Paul.

Lol so wait.

You stopped being a Libertarian because someone donated to someone else? Are you serious? You know that… anyone can donate to anyone, right? It doesnt mean there is a mutual friendship lol. Sheesh, never seen remote intelligence from the .world TLD that’s for sure.

It was quite a bit more complicated than that, of course. That was just the first catalyst that sent me down a new road.

The thought process is “do I really want to be a part of a system that the KKK has decided furthers/aligns with goals etc”

If something is good for racists it’s probably worth a critical examination.

I’m not a Stein voter, but blaming candidates when other people endorsing them seems odd.

How about this: “I have sex with farm animals all day long, and on behalf of the farm animal love society, I endorse Kamala Harris!”

So now should we write news stories about Harris being the bestiality candidate?

no, right. So why is everyone doing it to Stein?

…Are you guys listening to me or still think of bestiality?
