    they risk dividing the anti-Trump coalition and putting a convicted felon back in power.

    War criminal = I sleep. Paying off a porn star to keep mum about raw dogging her = real shit.

    [Stein] accused Democrats of being fascists posing a threat to democracy.

    Yeah nothing disproves the accusations of being a threat to democracy like trying to suppress third party candidates.

    MoveOn and Third Way represent different views about the future of the Democratic Party, but we share a common goal: protecting our democracy and fundamental freedoms by ensuring Donald Trump is defeated.

    Funny, you call yourself third way and yet you’re against third-party candidates? Checkmate, neoliberals!

      MoveOn working with Third Way just means that the lanyard wearing freaks finally infiltrated MoveOn and destroyed it from within. It's just a skin that the Democratic party machine wears now as it jerks off.

        it wasn't that great to begin with given that what they wanted to "move on" from was Clinton's sexual relations with Lewinsky

          Good point. I only remember them for sort of being on the right side during the Iraq War.

    Do you think any of these people even take the moment to appreciate the irony of the "you must vote for this person and no other, even if you don't support him, or else we won't have democracy" stance?

    I don't think so, but I hope so...

    Jill Stein, are parroting views right out of the MAGA/Vladimir Putin playbook

    let me guess, she doesn't want to genocide Palestinians?

      Liberals lack imagination to the point everything they don't like is scary foreigners. MAGA/Putin/China/Venezuela are all the same thing to them.

        Dems are at the point where they are more xenophobic than Republicans.

        Russiagate completely broke their brains. The mere notion that a country assisted a racist that they hate has caused them to go full racist.

        Their insistence that any pushback on their talking points is a Russian op reminds me of neocons with "Islamic terror" in the 2000s.

    Why not just argue for blocking the republicans from running, since it's them you're supposedly afraid of?

    Yep, frantic Dem Party propagandists get like this every four years. Their ultra-corrupt political machine tries every dirty trick to prevent left opposition candidates from even being allowed a ballot line so that voters can actually vote for them. Meanwhile, these fascist "Democrat" freaks babble on and on about supposedly "protecting democracy" -- it's perverse. The best response is either to vote for a 'third party' presidential candidate or boycott the elections altogether.

    I'm still deciding whether I'll vote for Jill Stein or Cornel West. https://www.cornelwest2024.com/ https://www.jillstein2024.com/

      Definitely there with you. It's either West, Stein, De la Cruz, or stay home for me.

      Is there any reason I shouldn't vote for Jasmine Sherman instead? I like that their platform includes covid mitigations that acknowledge Covid is a current and ongoing threat, whereas Jill Stein's Covid policy treats it like something that is entirely in the past. Also, Sherman is for straight up abolishing the cops.

    No y'all are being too harsh on this. It wasn't meant to say "We must block third parties because they are a threat to Democrats." Autocorrect is a son of a bitch.

    lmao they really are trying to grasp at straws to malign Jill Stein.

    Stein has echoed similar MAGA sentiments

    has she really though? Citation needed.

    arguing that the U.S. is at fault for Putin’s war.

    This is not MAGA shit and is also obviously true to anyone who looks at the situation. It is not possible to look at the history of NATO expansion in Ukraine and conclude otherwise. US Empire apologists keep repeating these buzz-phrases so that nobody even thinks to look at the events that led up to the war.

    She has a long history of touting Russian propaganda

    But then links to an article where she does no such thing.

    and after dining in Moscow with Putin and Trump aide Michael Flynn Apparently politicians aren't supposed to do diplomacy

    she received help from Russian election-meddlers during her 2016 run

    I have gone out of my way to pay as little attention to RussiaGate as possible because it seemed so obviously bullshit on its face, but what I did have the misfortune of learning is that 1. every candidate had bots making comments in their favor, 2. it was a small and insignificant amount, and 3. none of the candidates were behind those bots. It's not their fault if a psyop was attempted using their candidacy. Why is this asshole going after Jill Stein when Hilldawg also had bots botting for her?

    She has lied about Biden’s climate laws, Links to a tweet that is true.

    lied about his expansion of the Affordable Care Act Links to a tweet that is true.

    lied about his immigration policy Links to a tweet that is true.

    and accused Democrats of being fascists posing a threat to democracy Where's the lie?

    These are not the views of “radical left liberals. Literally one sentence after talking about how liberals are fascists and are therefore not part of the antifascist radical left.

    Do you think the people who write this shit believe their own bullshit?

    Simply put: There will be no ... President Stein.

    There should be. There would be if all the Democratic voters who claim to care about freedom, liberty, justice, equality, and defeating fascism actually cared enough to defect and vote for Dr. Stein instead of for their creepy war criminal senile uncle.
