And she's a putin shill. So who cares.
Apparently a lot of Democrats care since they are talking about her so much.
Welcome back.
In the sixty days since this account was created, it has made four thousand seven hundred and ninety-one submissions to Lemmy.
That averages out to one every eighteen minutes and two seconds twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.
The squad of vatniks running this really doesn't want to go to the front.
Nah nah see it's cool because this user totally didn't get temp banned for the intentional bad faith practices they are doing. Definitely not that. But see if anyone else gets banned or moderated in any way, it's something we definitely should gleefully shove in their face for days as proof that they did something
Be careful, I already got a warning and my comment deleted for analyzing and breaking down all of this information on another one of UniversalMonk's posts.
Apparently using math as a tool to show the objectively suspicious behavior of a user is somehow a "Rule 3 violation". Don't use your brains kids. That's against the rules!
I went on to the modlogs and read that removed comment of yours and I think mine will be okay.
Thanks for letting me know though.
Jill Stein is a Russian plant, and anyone promoting her is a traitor.
Be sure to write to Reuters newswire services to let them know your thoughts about that as well.
To let them know you can’t stop posting in a politics forum about a clear Russian plant less than 30 days before an important election when you should know better?
Yeah, I’m sure they’ll get right on it.
You do realise news sites will report on everything any public figure says, whether it’s relevant or not, but you choose to spread irrelevant shit here, right?
Right back on it, I see. Interesting how you once again choose to almost entirely post articles here about candidates you aren’t even voting for. Nothing happening for Rachel Fruit for the last three days of your absence? Can’t say that’s too surprising.

Her party has had plenty to say, no worries! https://lemmy.world/c/swp
If you can't tell the difference between Harris and Trump, your political opinion is 110% invalid.
Exactly this.
Stein said ... would four more years of Democratic rule, given high rental costs, the wars in Gaza and Lebanon, and attacks on civil liberties.
Huh? Dems attacking civil liberties?
"This is a very dire situation that will be continued under both Democrats and Republicans. So we say there is no lesser evil in this race," she said.
This only makes sense regarding the line on Gaza, and even then it's not true. Biden is having a hard time restraining Israel, that's true, but under the other guy there wouldn't be any attempt at restraint at all. This is why Arab Americans for Harris-Walz and Emgage Action are endorsing Harris, and even Uncommitted is encouraging votes for Harris without an explicit endorsement.
I think the "civil liberties" thing is the Democratic position of arresting Gaza protestors who are trespassing and vandalizing, then releasing them with no or minimal charges:

vs. the proposed Trump position of removing their citizenship and deporting them:

Again, you'd have to be a stone cold idiot to not see the differences here.
Meh, just because someone sees things differently doesn’t mean their opinion is worthless.
There are folks who feel just as strongly that Harris and Trump are both bad for different reasons—maybe one sees Harris as too corporate and the other sees Trump as too authoritarian.
Different people experience politics in different ways. Doesn't make one necessarily right and the other necessarily wrong.
Dismissing someone’s perspective just because it doesn’t match others doesn’t help anyone understand each other or actually address the issues.
There's a difference between seeing things differently and claiming to not see a difference.
A 2nd Trump term will actively injure more people, Americans and non-Americans alike, than a Harris term. Full stop.
And man, I found this amusing:
…Stein told Reuters after a rally attended by about 100 people in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn on Sunday
Weekend rally in one of her supposed “strongholds” of support, and she only had 100 folks show up? There’s city council candidates there that get bigger turnout at events.
Just offer free food and you’d get more. It doesn’t even have to be good food.
Pizza. I go anywhere for pizza!
They're back and posting BS! Jill (a Russian asset) is still more evil than Kamala, so it really doesn't matter what she thinks. I can't wait until the election is over so that you stop posting about the candidate that will lose.
Emphasis on this point.
Jill Stein has NO path to victory. She would require a 50%+1 majority in at least 270 EV worth of states. She doesn't even have 10% of the vote share in any state. Thus a vote for her is only marginally better than a vote for Trump, and about as effective as staying home on Election Day.
This particular poster's shiny object, Rechele Fruit, has even LESS of a chance. This candidate would require 50%+1 in three states, plus a successful write-in campaign for 50%+1 in another nine states (has that EVER happened in a SINGLE state) to get 87 EVs, a far cry from the 270 she needs to be elected. A vote for her is a fart in the wind. She doesn't even make the polling.
One of two people will take the Oath of Office in 2025. If you don't want Donald Trump and Project 2025 shoved up our privates, vote Harris. If you don't want Harris, for whatever reason, may you suffer the consequences of Project 2025 particularly harshly, though I doubt many of the shi...err, posters who post here bashing Harris and the Dems will have to suffer the consequences of their claimed votes.
I mostly agree, with one correction:
Thus a vote for her is only marginally better than a vote for Trump
It isn’t. A vote for her IS a vote for trump, because FPTP voting means a (fake) non-right candidate can only siphon votes from the left.
Here’s a great video that shows why, mathematically, she can only help trump win, and explains why a lot of Stein’s money comes from Republican (and Russian) interests. She’s not grass-roots, and she’s not left-leaning. Saying she’s a Russian asset is not hyperbole.
She’s not marginally better than trump – she’s actively anti-democratic.
e: my autocorrect really hates me today.
Reuters news service wrote a political news article. I thought it was interesting. So I posted it. That's it. Nothing nefarious going on.
And I'll do the same thing after the election when I see interesting political news articles. There is no conspiracy here.
Shill Stein just needs to come out and say that she supports Trump and Putin. Stop skirting around the issue.
Well she hasn't said it yet, so I wouldn't count on it happening anytime soon.
I mean, I might say the same thing if I was also running for president.
"Everyone but me sucks! Vote for me!"
Right?! Every candidate running thinks that exact same thing! lmao
Reuters publishes an article across its newswire. Lemmy user reposts it. Somehow, the Lemmy user is a bad actor, not Reuters .
Why not both? Reuters is publishing this for the clicks. Based on the OP’s history of posts and most especially of comments, we’re all well aware of their agenda and lack of good faith engagement (he’s just coming off a three day ban for trolling).
I’ve been banned multiple times for ( misinformation, trolling, spam, etc.) when I was doing none of those. Once. Once, I was banned for concern trolling, because I didn’t know what I was doing. That one was fair. The others were arbitrary and hypocritical, depending on the moderators mood. I’ve been called a bot, a shill, a Russian actor, a Chinese actor, a Trump supporter, pretty much everything. If you don’t think like the hive mind, you’re a target. Which is fine. But remember, if everyone thinks alike this becomes an awfully boring experience.
I invite you to look at this user’s history.
Me too! I invite him to look at my history.
Yeah, people get pretty mad about it. I don't take any of it personally. :)
If this poster didn't take our feedback personally, it'd go to its special little corner of Lemmy and post all it wants there, because obviously the community here doesn't like this poster, and finally, the moderation team is saying they've had enough of its shit.
It's here because it really wants to 'show us up', posting incendiary topics, needling posters, pushing this meme that Trump would be better than Harris, and constantly egging on commentor after commentor.
