Jill Stein’s campaign manager: “Yeah, we are the bad guys, actually”

I am absolutely disgusted by this. Basically they are saying they intentionally and knowingly manipulated Palestinian Americans and pro-Palestinians into allowing a Trump victory and the doubling up of the growing threat of a trans, queer and POC genocide among much more violence.

You may have different opinions from me about the third party voters and the culpability they carry, but I hope we all can agree that Jason Call and company here are blatantly evil and have blood on their hands.

Hoping this can be a moment of reactionary leftist unity. Fuck every leader who actively worked towards MAGA. I’m doing my best to organize and do damage control, but not because some dumbass Jill Stein employee told me to. You should too.

"Were going to not elect genocide by electing ultra-genocide!"

🤔

Remember, when the social democratic Part (SPD) and communist Party (KPD) of late Weimar republic Germany enabled the fascist government of Hitlers NSDAP in 1933. All because they were too focused on fighting each other, thinking that after Hitler, who is sure to fail, they will get greater voter turnout in their respective favor? Yeah, this here has the same vibes.

Spoiler: they did not get their turn or voter turnout because there was no longer a German democratic state (just to make sure us-americans not well-versed in international history understand)

I don't remember hearing any Dems talking about turning Gaza into a beach resort after they purge the locals.

If a protest could work under trump why wouldn't it work under Harris?

☐ Genocide and things stay pretty much the same

☐ Extra genocide and things get worse

☐ Waste vote (get extra genocide anyway)

"Democracy"

You're right asshat, we didn't "re-elect genocide", we (see: your bitch ass) accelerated it. I don't fucking remember Kamala telling us Gaza was going to be a resort and all Palestinians would never be allowed to return.

Man, it's almost like I was right about all those 3rd party fucks that wouldn't admit they supported Trump and didn't actually care about the people in Gaza.

I can only interpret this message as accelerationist self-hatred. "No you don't get it, we need to burn the country to the ground and have millions die to make our anticapitalist woo woo utopia!"

I guess it makes sense if you're a Russian asset.

Even before this I didn’t think Jill Stein was qualified, now I think her supporters are nutz

What the actual fuck.

Whoa, either they're incredibly unaware of the recent news in Gaza or this is quite mask off about their side and goals. "the moral stain of reelecting genocide"? Give me a fucking break, the conflict was self-resolving right before Trump's inauguration. Now he's fanning the flames.

I'd take that as a confession to being complicit whenever we get to the US equivalent of the Nuremberg trials.

People should be free to vote for who best represents them while still counting their vote if their preference didn't win.

Passing state level electoral reform will not only empower the creation of stronger 3rd parties, but also force the legacy political parties to have to compete and actually represent people.

No more safe seats, no more hostage situation, no more voting while holding our noses, only democracy. More democracy was always going to be the solution to this problem. Who could possibly be against more democracy?

Russian stooge says what?

Hey, look, it's [90% of the people I argued with on Lemmy before election day]!

Holy shit what a dumb take

Accelerationism will never work. Whenever there's a crisis, the poor will suffer and the rich will escape.

The Green party is fucking worthless.

It’s hard to tell from just this one tweet, but this guy seems like he is actively trying to out-stupid trump.

Trump literally wants to remove 2 million Palestinians, the literal definition of genocide. So how's that going Jill Stein and protest non voters?

What about the moral stain of ethnic cleansing?

"Yeah Trump is bad, but we can fight him from the underground we're forced to occupy by the threat of execution or exile, but just imagine the moral bad fee fees we'd have to endure if we elected Kamala! That would be worse!"

JFC....

Earth calling nutjob, Earth calling nutjob do you copy? Don't come back. Stay up there.

Legit 0 IQ take, holy shit

Fuck Jill Stein and every additional piece of shit who promotes her.

Watch this hour long interview Mehdi Hasan did with her. She's fucking horrible and I'm glad the finest interviewer of our time got an hour to push her on her bullshit.

Tell me for what other reason does a "Green Party" fringe candidate from America fraternize with a round table consisting of the likes of Michael Flynn, Vladimir Putin, and Dmitry Peskov in Moscow? Lmao. Suckers.

I and many others have been calling out Stein's bullshit for well over a decade.

I don't think mutual aid and civil disobedience is going to stop things like the $7.4B arms sale to Israel that was announced earlier this week. But surely that is part of this acceptable compromise the Greens made?

Lol is this real? I've never seen a real person make that argument.

I assume they are just not-so-secretly endorsing Trump. Like, nobody is that dumb.

He has yet to stop the genocide for that to hold a colander' worth of water.

Are they sincere accelerationists, or is that another mask for “it’ll help Putin and I’ll get Gazprom shares”?

Absolutely the most clueless fucking thing I've ever read. Are they not paying attention to what's happening?

Now that's some medical-grade copium.

"To cut off your own nose to spite the face" is the only thing that comes to mind here.

Trump’s genocide comes with a golf course and resort for wealthy white people, and maybe an Arab or two if they pay enough money to the geriatric dementia patient in the whitehouse.

Y'all wanna blame anyone but the Dems for their shitty campaign. Last time I checked adding all the green party votes to the Democrats wouldn't have changed the outcome.

You're never going to overcome the moral stain of instead voting for someone who also supports genocide, and works to take people's human rights away, and wants to destroy everything from the public education system to humanitarian causes, and wants to drill for oil everywhere and fill the skies with smoke, and and and and.

While her statement is over reaching, she does have a valid point. It will be easier to raise a resistance against trump than harris. This of course benefits her the most if that resistance can vote for her and her party. But it is still a valid point among the spin.

Literally only the mental cases speak this way. By mental cases I mean the people that want destruction of a country for their own greedy reasons instead of building the country to what it once was.

It's absurd for leftists to be talking about Jill Stein when we could be arguing about Hillary Clinton instead. The point is to narrow our coalition till it's pure. (and too small to get their way on pizza toppings)

BluEmAgA!

This argument boils down to, "I want to be told there isn't a genocide while there still is. I just want the media gone and the watching orgs defunded and threatened so that I don't hear about it. Yes it's still happening at full speed... yes, it's probably even worse now... but I would have heard about it everyday with Harris. With trump, the news is talking about the gulf of America, so I don't have to see it anymore."

Least purity-testing leftist

Interesting. I really wonder how Ralph Nader is reacting to this. I can't imagine he'd be very proud of this guy. Then again, he cut out of the party after his second run for a reason.

Genocide Joe stans seething over at .world

Stupid cunt.

Fuck them. Hiding behind such a horrible thing to support trump.

Socialist tend to be

If this is the kind of mental illness floating on the left. strap up and strap in, The Republicans will never lose an election again. Even if they are legit

This is so bad it reminds me of the conspiracy theory that Just Stop Oil is actually run by the Oil corpos, with the aim of being so distasteful they turn people against enviornmentalism.
