What I’m trying to show is that, even with the benefit of the doubt, she still sucks.

Honestly, on the merits— she’s awful.

Thanks.

Again, I’m no fan of hers and certainly won’t be voting for her. I was just trying to be fair.

Well, sure. I only wanted to hear all of this in context— and it doesn’t really help her position IMO.

It really shouldn’t be so hard to very clearly denounce Putin. She makes it seem like a real chore. Like, she has to be squeezed into saying it, and even then, it’s still a little unclear.

I think, to some degree, she’s trying to be diplomatic, but more importantly, she’s coming off as weak to international powers that she should be standing up to. Even if she isn’t some Russian shill, she should be standing up to Putin in a resolute manner that she is failing to do here, and kind of always.

In a very kind reading of Jill Stein, if she wants to take a more diplomatic approach to eastern powers, she needs to learn how to stand up to them. She’s a poor choice just because of how incredibly weak she is in her positions and diplomacy.

That is why they are insisting on hand counting. Because machine counting would be accurate.

Why can’t these candidates file proper forms? What the hell is so difficult about that?

I agree that she’s being evasive

I misspoke. He was just being aggressive

I edited my comment

Thanks for the link, but I deleted my account years ago. No worky for me.

If anyone could link something else, I’d be quite grateful. 👍

Edit: here’s a link:

Also— I don’t read her as being so much pro-putin as she is trying to be “stateswoman” and also being terribly unprepared. Just a total flop. She seemed like she was trying to be very reasonable, and she was just destroyed by the interviewer who was unrelenting on a single question that she was not prepared to answer.

I’m not apologizing for her. It was probably the one and only question she should have been prepared to answer right off the bat. And how she fumbled it was extremely damaging to her.

She did answer, but her answer got lost in the mess of it all. And that interviewer was being a very aggressive.

I’m not so sure. I think that I’d need to hear/see the interview to know the tone/context.

I’m no fan of Stein. I was years ago, but not anymore. But she seems very clear in the beginning, then equivocates in the middle then clarifies (kinda) towards the end— but the way the interviewer goes after her seems like she’s being evasive in a way that doesn’t come across in the textual reading.

Is there an audio and/or video clip of this interview?

“Here, have our extra power”

— classic line of empires

This guy… ❤️

You criticize popular legislation that actually accomplishes what you demand, then whine about what your candidate says—

Are you feeling ok? Lol

That’s why I don’t listen to Trump or Vance— it’s bonkers nonsense.

No. Not at all.

Trump keeps making it political and also wants to massively cut taxes on the group of people who contribute the most in taxes that pay for the military - millionaires, billionaires, and major corporations. While also slashing healthcare for millions.

Just like he did last time.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know fascism. I know Trump.

And, after enough time, I’ve come to know Harris enough to trust her. And I’m ready to turn the page.

They’re better at not getting caught, anyway

On another note, I have never seen so many receipts on one guy, lol, damn.

Trump? Ghouliani. Two+ dozen people who’ve worked for both.

Seriously— yes you have. This is kinda the MAGA MO

No wonder Trump endorsed him
