“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

The only place I ever see/read anything at all about Jill Stein is on Lemmy.

The propaganda has been on rapid fire lately, let me guess, they're actually becoming a threat to the American establishment?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 41 minutes ago

No, not a threat, the winner will be either Harris or Trump, but they could keep Harris from winning in key swing states.

Stein’s campaign manager, Jason Call, said via email that “the Democratic Party has no respect for actual democracy or the voting public,” calling the attack a “tired and sad commentary on a party that refuses to serve the American people with good public policy.”

Yes, this is true.

“We’re seeing a desperate empire now. We are seeing a desperate colonialist settler empire whose ways of the world and whose control over the world has been lost,” Stein said as she inveighed against U.S. healthcare, housing, and military policy.

This is also true. But she has no shot at winning and is literally only capable of helping the orange bad. We need rank-choice voting. Until we get that, she should shut up and drop out. Especially with the threat of the orange bad.

The folks voting Green have already folded on the other options. If you're picking a fight with Jill, you're only driving her base farther from your candidate.

I'm tired of people being stupid. I've been tired of it for 20 God damn years. I'm folding on stupid people. I don't care if I drive them away anymore.
