“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.”

I doubt anyone dumb enough to vote for Stein are Harris voters anyway. So now than likely a vote for Stein will be one taken for Trump. So Trump and Putin can waste all the money they want on her campaign.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

They're probably ****trying to scoop up the Republican voters that are disillusioned with Trump and prevent them from going to Harris. It's actually a decent strategy in that light.

[-] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 11 points 2 hours ago

Forget debates. I would pay good money to see an episode of Jeopardy with Harris, Stein, and Trump.

"This person won the popular vote for President in 2016."

Jill is here to collect some donations then disappear for 4 years. Again.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago

Narrator: the DNC is correct.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 22 points 5 hours ago

Jill has ruined a lot of credibility.

Those MAGAs cosplaying as lefties will have an even harder time now that the Uncommitted group have said they cannot support Harris but Donald will be worse. The same as we have all be saying.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 hour ago

Not just Trump will be worse as some sort of abstract moral statement. Their statement is that Uncommitted voters should actively vote against Donald Trump no matter how inadequate Harris's statements and commitments have been.

Probably doesn't help that Stein refuses to call Putin a war criminal.

https://www.newsweek.com/jill-stein-vladimir-putin-war-criminal-1954965

"Hasan later asked Stein why she had labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal, but not Putin.

"Well, as John F. Kennedy said, we must not negotiate out of fear and we must not fear to negotiate," she replied. "So, if you want to be an effective world leader, you don't start by name-calling and hurling epithets."

"So, how will President Stein negotiate with Israel then if you've called Netanyahu a war criminal?" Hasan asked in response.

"Well, because he very clearly is a war criminal," Stein said, prompting Hasan to ask: "So Putin clearly isn't a war criminal?"

"Well, we don't have a decision—put it this way—by the International Criminal Court," Stein said.

The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin, alleging that he is responsible for war crimes. No such warrant has been issued for Netanyahu, whose war on Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians. However, the chief prosecutor of the ICC has applied for an arrest warrant for the Israeli prime minister.

"There's an arrest warrant for Putin and there isn't an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, so why is Putin not a war criminal, but Netanyahu is?" Hasan asked.

"Yeah. Well, let me say this. We are sponsoring that war. We are sponsoring Netanyahu," Stein responded. "He is our dog in this fight. That is why we have a responsibility to pull him back.""

Ahahaha oh no the "office workers" are still all over here, their content usually just gets downvoted into being permanently hidden and they've stopped picking fights outside of their own posts.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

their content usually just gets downvoted into being permanently hidden

At first I read this as something that existed at the post level, too. Man, I sometimes wish something like that existed - posts below a certain rating could just be hidden (like Slashdot, for instance).

Is the DNC actually trying to woo Stein voters? They could shift swing states into Blue States, but for some reason they think bashing her will get her voters?

Has the DNC learned nothing from 2016?

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

What has Stein learned over the years, pray tell?

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 41 points 8 hours ago

There’s photos of Shill Stein dining with Putin. How much more evidence do you need?

She wasn't even the worst at the table, that "honor" goes to convicted felon Mike Flynn:

p.s. Trump's "National Security Advisor".

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 2 points 41 minutes ago

Still can’t believe Flynn was the fucking head of the DIA
