Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Her only position is to stop Kamala. Wtf.

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 45 points 3 weeks ago

Well, that's what Vlad is paying her for.

A pretty giant piece of shit, Jill Stein.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago

Can you guys please get a proper Green party going?

I could have sworn this article was posted before.

This time I was able to play the video. So the title isn't actually a quote from Stein.

In her own words, this rather almost comes off as a warning - reach out to our Muslim friends and address their issues or else lose the Presidency.

Harris is trying to at least reach out to these folks (see for example https://theatlantavoice.com/vice-president-harris-meets-muslim-leaders/ ) and things would be even worse for these folks under the other guy, so there's hope that Harris can still bridge the gap and win over these folks without losing the Jewish vote.

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?

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 29 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Shes doing what Putin pays her to do.

  • 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.

"Because that's what my foreign handlers are paying me to do"

Saved you a click

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

-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.

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.

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.
