    “This is just Dem propaganda, cooked up by the establishment to prevent valid, wholesome, totally ethical and on our side third parties like the Greens from becoming the powerhouse they could be!” - tankies and Russians operatives on this site probably

      A useful idiot doesn’t know they’re useful…

      Stein 100% knows she’s useful to Putin by now.

        Seeing her refuse to denounce Putin in the Mehdi Hassan interview sure was something.

      • Disagree. Definition of a useful idiot is this: “suggesting that the person thinks they are fighting for a cause without fully comprehending the consequences of their actions, and who does not realize they are being manipulated”

        Jill Stein may be aware that she’s been useful to Putin, but that doesn’t contradict the above definition and she can still qualify for the “useful idiot” label. The main thing here is that she’s not a Russian asset - she’s being manipulated perhaps but not under Putin’s Russia’s direct control.

    “I don’t understand what you means by a vote for third party is a vote for Trump!?” they said while drooling on the floor.

    Allies of former President Donald Trump and others affiliated with the GOP are supporting the Green Party’s Jill Stein in the hopes that her presidential bid will divert attention and votes away from Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, The Wall Street Journal reported.

      I and many others have been saying this for over a year now. Some of us got out posts removed for suggesting it- and the rest was downvoted into oblivion.

      Seems they’re all button-lipped and silent on the subject now. Imagine that.

    This is easy to understand when you take into account that Jill Stein is a piece of shit.

    No but vote for her to send the Democrats a message or something.

    Fucking Christ, they’re really phoning it in. How is this election even close?

      If you really want to waste your vote on a third party (and it is a waste in our shitty two party system) there are so much better options out there.

      But, given the stakes in this election, I’d urge folks to show up and vote for Harris even in solid blue states. The stronger the national vote proportion is the harder it will be for assholes to try and subvert the election.

      Yeah, and her supported knew about this shit all along too. Meanwhile they were removing posts and comments that tried to let people know.
