    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?

    And Putin endorsed Harris. These people know that their endorsement is a vote against that candidate, not for them.

    Everyone’s so focused on putting Jill Stein down so that those votes go to Harris. Any ideas on how we can get tiered voting implemented so that third parties are viable choices instead of being the same as not voting at all?

      If you want a third party, then vote for them for state government or something local. Green is not a serious party because they have no local elected politicians and cannot win the presidency. We’ve already been through this when Ross Perot successfully knocked out Bush in 92, Dole in 96, and Nader knocked out Gore in 2000. You can vote for whoever you want but when you see who’s behind her campaign, it’s clear she’s being promoted in order to hurt Harris.

        Your link does not say it was a joke. It only suggests it was.

        And Harris is proud of her Dick Cheney endorsement. Which she worked hard to receive by appeasing the war crime blood lords.

          That’s not why dick chose her lol

          He clearly stated he chose her because he sees Trump as a dangerous dictator. And Trump is in no way denying that he won’t be.

          Trump couldnt even remain stable during his rally without threatening to sue everyone there because his mic cut out, and he told them all he wouldn’t pay (he fucks up constantly though, and people should hold him to the same standard as he holds his contractors)

          He’s literally doing dictator shit in front of an audience now

          He is no longer hiding it because he thinks the election is already decided

        Dude endorses Trump back to back for past two election cycles and suddenly swings as far as he can in the opposite direction? Seems believable /s

    Of course Lemmy (which is leftist when it comes to politics because “left is the good guys!!1!1”) cares so much about something so stupid.

    Hey yall, David Duke endorses people but that doesnt mean theyre in cahoots lol. Sheesh this is pathetic.

    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).

      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.

        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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

      She won’t. She’s a Dem spoiler. That’s her purpose. RFK was supposed to be that, too, but he wasn’t pulling enough Dems and was pulling too many Rs. So, he dropped and they tried to pull back those Rs with an endorsement.
