With all this stuff about Jill coming out, it’s no wonder all the Lemmy.ml and Hexbears are so supportive of her. She’s a Russian asset!
What is the Russian word for Wumao?
It could just be she made a career out of unsucessfully running for president and doesn't care where the money came from.
That's supposedly how the whole Trump mess started.
You mean him just wanting to make money by running for president never actually expecting to run and regretting every minute of it while trying to be so vile he could never get elected again only to realize that’s what his base wants?
Are you confusing the Green candidate, Jill Stein with Claudia De la Cruz, the PSL candidate?
She does deserve praise for taking the correct stance regarding Gaza, but the general consensus of the Greens as a whole is that they're useless because unlike PSL, they don't organize between elections.
She doesn’t give a shit about Gaza.
Idk, its not like she's ambivalent. She seems to actually support the genocide.
What has she said that makes you believe that?
She's against sending weapons to Israel and she's participated in the protests.
So much hard work.
She's more anti Israel than quite literally every single member of the dem party.
She's backing Trump. Trump wants Israel to finish the job.
No, she's not. I'm not sure when you people became indistinguishable from magats but man I hope some of you at least start to pretend to be normal like you guys almost did during Obama's first run.
Yes, she is.

Two of those aren't news outlets, pardoning anyone that damages federal property is objectively a good thing.
Talk is cheap.
What do you expect her to do? Try to tackle Netanyahu into the Irish Embassy so he can be arrested and set to the Hague?
She could just have the police grab him. And, yes, hold him in jail until he gets a date for transfer to the Hague.
Jill Stein does not control the police.
I thought we were talking about Harris sorry
Well, does she want votes or campaign money for doing nothing?
She wants to stop the genocide in Gaza, making both the candidates look bad by openly opposing it pressures them to make their policy less dogshit. If winning was more important to democrats than genocide, they'd drop the genocide. Sadly, it seems they'd rather lose the election than stop the genocide.
No one is losing because of Gaza. Very few of the American voters actually care about that topic.
How many politically-active people who would be campaigning for the dems right now got the shit beaten out of them by the cops instead?
Genocide matters to the politically active people who aren't just reliable voters, but who even get other people to vote.
Hell the whole reason Biden had to drop out was that he was massively unpopular, the genocide contributed to this, and every dogshit position of Biden (or Trump in the case of immigration) that Kamala has openly endorsed has hurt her popularity.
I know plenty of people who will be voting for Kamala who got their ass kicked during the BLM protests. So, I dunno what you’re on about. The only people still fooled by the Green Party are ML.
Goodbye Wumaoski
The BLM protests were under Trump. The fact that they got their ass kicked increased the likelihood they voted (and organized) against the government who did it. I was talking about Palestine protests.
Someone who cares enough about genocide that they went out to protest, is very likely to be someone who would have been at least phone banking for Harris if her election was necessary to stop Trump from resuming the genocide. But no, unlimited genocide is more important than winning for the dems.
Green isn't ML, marxists have their own parties, PSL, CPUSA, and (kinda) DSA.
lmao you really can't imagine someone would be against genocide without being manipulated by evil foreigners
The only people being fooled, regardless of their political opinions, are the ML.
Jill is just in it for the cash. She will say whatever. She doesn’t have to keep her promises because she knows she won’t ever have to.
So maybe if she would do something besides running her mouth, then yes… I might be interested.
But she's cool with genocide in Ukraine.
What actions has Russia done/is doing that are expected to destroy the Ukrainian people?
Of course they organize between elections. Just because the news doesn't cover it doesn't mean it isn't happening. They have parties in local office doing work year round
I'm not saying she's not a Russian asset, anyone could be including the people spreading this rumor with no supporting evidence. It's become a joke online that Democrats will now call anyone they disagree with a Russian asset.
For some reason, on one hand Democrats will claim that peace negotiations between Israel & Palestine are a good thing, but how dare she say that peace negotiations between Ukraine & Russia are important too.
Jill Stein has called Putin a war criminal while Kamala campaigns with a war criminal (Dick Cheney).
When did "Dick" Cheney campaign for Harris? He said he was voting for her rather than the felon. That's it. Liz Cheney is the one who spoke at a Harris campaign, not her father.
He didn't. And Stein refused to say Putin is a war criminal. John Richard is in here lying through his teeth.
Yeah, you're wrong and spreading misinformation like the average cultist.
https://www.instagram.com/drjillstein/p/DAHhwbTSG2p/
There are multiple articles showcasing where she has, but what you won't find is a single article of Genocide Joe or Kamala calling Netanyahu a war criminal. They're saying... You did such a good job killing all those women and children Netanyahu, here is a $8.7 billion dollar thank you check.
Where have I seen this playground terminology before? Not that I want to support Biden's policy on Israel in any way, it's despicable, but a Stein apologist using Trump's own puerile rhetoric raises an eyebrow.
Are you suggesting Trump would ever attack Biden for facilitating a genocide in Gaza? They agree on that policy!
So then don't do it. Don't lie for Joe & Kamala by attacking anyone who says something negative, even when true.
Kamala has some good qualities in addition to her bad statements on the Palestine & the Middle East situation. The only way Democrats will change their bad qualities is if people stop sugarcoating the truth for them.
Calling people Russian agents that call out the cultist & attack dogs for Democrats does nothing to help them or the party. It only makes you and them seem as fanatical & unhinged as Republicans calling every Democrat a commie.
Says the person that just said:
gEnOciDe Joe.
Why do you think people call him that? Could it be the 30k dead women and children that he continues sending thank you checks to Netanyahu for? Maybe this has something to do with it?

I’ve seen other people try and explain how this all works to you so I’m not going to exercise the fully it takes to attempt it again.
You’re wrong. Period. Case closed and end of story.
Oh yes, I forgot Democrats are now the party of Dick Cheney and adopted MAGA into their new slogan. Make America Genocidal Again.
I would absolutely LOVE to see you show your work on this.
What do you want to see. Kamala praising Dick Cheney and saying she is so grateful for his endorsement? Her cult followers cheering for Cheney? Democrats and Biden-led government sending more money to fund genocide being carried out by Netanyahu?
Lol your defense of her is "anyone could be a Russian asset!" is like a textbook denial list. What's the next stage?
The next stage is for you to call me a Russian agent for saying something you don't like. Textbook denialism would be you presenting facts showing she is loyal to Russia, or working intentionally on their behalf, and then me denying it. Thus far your "evidence" is a Salon article with a headline that doesn't even represent the story and makes baseless accusations.
Nah you're just a lier, that's all.
I didn't realize I presented evidence of anything, but ok.
You haven't. That's my point is that the blue MAGA cultists here are claiming Jill Stein works for Russia but they don't have any facts to support it. They're mad that facts don't support their feelings.
Everyone in this photo works for Putin and were there at the behest of Putin. Two Americans are in this photo. One was put in jail for a while because they lied about working for foreign actors, least of which is Russia. I'll leave it to you to see who the other one is.
All this evidence of Stein actively using GOP (and thus Russia) aligned assets/money and refusing to denounce Russia in any capacity until forced, only further drives nails in the coffin.
Take a hike.
LOL... you got your 4chan QANON proof right there. A photo with little arrows without any facts or evidence that Jill Stein works for Putin. Jill Stein called Putin a war criminal. It's really rich that you demand politicians call out war criminals, but you're not demanding that Biden or Harris call Netanyahu a war criminal. You know who else Russia helped? Bernie Sanders. According to your logic, if Russia helped Bernie Sander's campaign then he must be a Russian agent.
You know there is this thing called talks with world leaders on a global stage as a politician, and this picture is nothing more than you desperately trying to paint a narrative without any supporting facts. You don't even attempt to provide facts, but instead hope that most users will be a desperate as you are to ignore them thinking it will somehow make Trump lose.
Just like the lap dogs that were here after the debate between Biden & Trump saying Biden did amazing and sounded sharp as a tack. Need I remind you, Biden was losing to Trump at that time in the polls by over 4 points and was on pace to cause Democrats to lose the House & Senate. Your way of helping almost cost Democrats chances of winning in 2024.
Oh, here's a picture for you BTW that using your logic shows that Biden works for Putin.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Putin_in_Switzerland_2021_10.jpg/1280px-Putin_in_Switzerland_2021_10.jpg
Incorrect equivalency, invalid argument. The difference there is Biden is the elected President of the United States. It is quite literally HIS JOB to meet with foreign heads of state, including Putin. I don't suspect him of collaborating when he has public meetings with a foreign power. Hell, I don't even suspect Trump when he had those meetings because it was unfortunately also his job. it was all the other shady shit we learn about and pro-Putin comments he's made.
Stein is an unelected nobody with less than zero power in the US, except for the fact that she participates in and disrupts American elections. She has NO rights as an American citizen to be discussing anything with a foreign power that may be related to elections or policy or relations, which I guarantee she did at that dinner table. This is called the Logan Act, and she is an unauthorized representative.
Again, let me repeat this. SHE IS NOT A POLITICIAN, SHE IS AN UNELECTED CANDIDATE. SHE HAS ZERO RIGHT TO BE INTERACTING WITH ANY FOREIGN POWER IN ANY CAPACITY.
After weaseling around the word for over 5 minutes in an interview, both-sidesing it the entire time, then releasing a half hearted press release the day after as damage control. Such a transparently obvious agenda that had to get "approved" before posting, it's painful.
Words in my mouth, not relevant. I absolutely think Netanyahu is a war criminal and should be called as much, but we aren't talking about him right now are we? Just had to make stuff up that I didn't say.
Correct, but he called them out on it and actively rejected any of their support.. Stein has made no such public rejection of their support. Also, maybe this should make you think really long and hard about why Russia might also want to support Stein and Trump this time around?
No offense, but this thread is over, because I am not going to waste any more time arguing with a bad-faith brick wall who is only here to spread misinformation. The outlined points above are for everyone else on the Fediverse. Have a nice work week!
Again your desperation is about painting pictures without evidence. However, you seem to forget things like this:
https://www.wsj.com/video/obama-medvedev-hot-mic-gaffe/5F7CF09D-CFD5-4805-A72C-3378D5F8371E
Or Obama's controversial 2008 trips to Israel & Berlin where he not only did he discuss US policy, but he was there to get the support of the government & its people for his policy proposals.
Here we have a picture of Obama meeting with the Israeli President in Jerusalem on 07/23/2008 prior to becoming President.
Oh, look, here Obama is standing next to a war criminal on July 23, 2008:
Now had you actually read the Logan Act and had a clue about anything, you'd know that the Logan Act is specifically about prohibiting private citizens from conducting foreign policy and is rarely enforced unless someone is trying to substantially influence foreign policy against the current US administration's stance.
I see where you're coming from though. If you demand a third-party presidential candidate call someone a war criminal then they must do on your timeline cause you have much more experience than an actual presidential candidate about how they can best achieve future negotiations, but when the President you elected won't call Netanyahu a war criminal then it doesn't really matter to you that much, especially considering that you want to get the campaign/party re-elected that has reassured Netanyahu that they'll keep sending money for genocide.
I see you want to run away now... maybe Kamala HQ is calling you right now saying their pro-genocide statements aren't doing as well as they hoped and them gushing over Dick Cheney's support didn't get the positive reaction they had hoped. I wonder if they've figured out that their commitment to Netanyahu isn't a good choice considering he's working against the Democrats.
Try to be a little less obvious Vlad.
I provided actual evidence to counter your narrative, which is something you've yet to provide any evidence that Jill Stein is loyal to Russia, Benji.
This isn't a court of law, Dr. Stein isn't being charged, and I don't need any evidence of anything except "Eh, seems fishy AF to me" just like everyone else in this thread, her actions (or lack of) are all the proof I need that she's not fit for the office.
ok
When has she campaigned with dick? Show me.
I don't really know how to respond to that since you put "dick" in lowercase. If you want to conflate campaign with, with tour with, then by all means go read a dictionary. But if you want to see videos of Harris praising Dick Cheney, thanking him for his support & his service to this country, claiming, that he represents a "healthy" two-party system, then I can send you videos of the campaign events where she's touring around with his daughter while she makes those statements.
So lies. Got it.
No, if you can't read a dictionary there is nothing I can say to convince you that water is wet.
Nothing you can say can hurt me lol. Just resorting to personal attack means I already won. Thank you goodbye
So no, Dick Cheney did not campaign with Harris. At least you admit it.
Cheney endorses Kamala... starts speaking out against Trump, and Kamala starts praising Dick Cheney saying he's one of the good ones and then goes on tour with Liz Cheney his daughter who has never renounced her father's war crimes. Yeah, okay... totally, that is normal to have a war criminal endorse you and then boast about it and praise them afterwards.
Uh huh, anyways. Let's see those campaign photos or videos of Dick Chaney with Harris.
We'll wait.
Again, pick up a dictionary. Campaigning together doesn't mean that they have to be seen together. It can be Dick Cheney doing public interviews saying how he's voting for Harris, while Harris is praising him saying:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7S-Sk2TbdjE
And that she's honored to have their endorsement:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNVoSdUHw5I
My favorite is the lady standing behind her while she calls Dick Cheney a leader who is well respected with wide eyes like "Kamala, why are you so stupid to say that and do it in front of me?!?"
That's ok John. Your favorite tune is obviously 🎶Movin' the Goalposts 🎶
You saw the videos and now feel kind of gross huh?
I feel gross just responding to you.
Maybe instead of responding you should do what Kamala does and go praise and brag about a war criminal supporting Democrats.
Why would I do that?
Do you often make arguments up in your own head so you can feel like you won?
I don't. But you sure do lol.
When pressed you people turn Dick into his daughter. It's pretty entertaining watching you flail around so much. Please , go on.
🍿
So you never actually read any responses and just went with whatever narrative fit your world view? Seems sad. Anyway Google Harris dick Cheney and pick your favorite propaganda outlet, even Fox says it's real and a step towards biaprtisanship that hurts trump somehow
Waiting on those pictures and videos of Harris and Dick Cheney together.
So you do like to make up your own narrative to protect your fragile world view.
Your account is three days old, pal. And your going into threads guns blazing, with blanks loaded.
Everyone can see who you are. Piss off.
When they bitch about people making alt accts to argue with them, it's so obvious how much that is projection lmao. Funny how they all have the same tired, recycled arguments.
Also, this guy's first comment was about how fun trolling and spreading misinformation is. Fuck'em.

You idiots are so blatantly obvious. This entire thread has me rolling.
Aw poor puppy. Well we'll stop whenever the massive ve multimillion dollar media blitz and lawsuit banaza against the green party and other third parties stop little buddy.
Until then you'll need to still do better than throw insults and "fully support and endorse genocide, but we pinky promise not to do it domestically" in order to get votes from the actual left.
Haha, you idiots can’t even vote in the election, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Is it any different than a socialist that accuses anyone that disagrees with them of being a genocide supporter?
I mean if you keep funding genocide to the tune of billions when kids can't eat at school and veterans are homeless, it's not not supporting genocide.
Tell us you have no idea how any of this works after it’s been already been explained to you a thousand times without telling us you have no idea how any of this works after it’s been already been explained to you a thousand times.
The “funding of genocide” as you call it is actually an agreement that the US has had with Israel for decades. And unless you know exactly what that agreement details, and have a firm understanding of how nuanced diplomacy works outside of video games, I’d suggest that instead of being a smart-ass on the internet about things you don’t understand- you read up on how it all works.
Because it Is in NO WAY supporting genocide to continue a pact agreed upon. And if you think the US can just cancel that- you REALLY need to brush up on how this shit actually works in the real world.
It’s VERY complicated.
NPR had leading experts on this exact thing a few mornings ago. Even they said when asked why the US continues to uphold this agreement- that it isn’t easy to get out of these things without escalating the situation.
So unless you know more about this than they do- maybe stop arguing with everyone when they tell you you’re wrong.
