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!

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?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (5 children)

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).

[–] [email protected] 46 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

He didn't. And Stein refused to say Putin is a war criminal. John Richard is in here lying through his teeth.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, you're wrong and spreading misinformation like the average cultist.

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.

Genocide Joe

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not that I want to support Biden’s policy on Israel in any way, it’s despicable

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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.

Lol your defense of her is "anyone could be a Russian asset!" is like a textbook denial list. What's the next stage?

Is it any different than a socialist that accuses anyone that disagrees with them of being a genocide supporter?

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (5 children)

She doesn’t give a shit about Gaza.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (2 children)

She's more anti Israel than quite literally every single member of the dem party.

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?
