The committee has largely kept quiet about the Green party nominee. But that’s now changing.

“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.”

    It’s funny because if Democrats just did what people wanted in the first place people would vote for them

          Yes, genocide is such a wedge issue. Can’t they compromise on killing all the Jews Palestinians?

          It’s crazy to me that democrats use extreme language when speaking of the risks of middle eastern conflic escalating into Europe, but then dismiss it as an unimportant issue as soon as it’s pointed out that they are actively contributing to that escalation.

              ‘Hyperbolizing’ what, exactly? In the middle of what, exactly?

              It would be easier to tell if you’re suggesting a false compromise if you were at all specific about what you’re talking about instead of making vague centrist gestures.

                I’m referring to the two extreme positions you wrote. Not sure how that’s so vague, but I’ll spell it out for you anyway. I’m suggesting you presented two hyperbolized straw men in your comment above. Very few democrats, if any, do either of these:

                use extreme language when speaking of the risks of middle eastern conflic escalating into Europe

                dismiss it as an unimportant issue as soon as it’s pointed out that they are actively contributing to that escalation

                the position “in the middle” that’s closer to reality is something like “It is a major conflict that has the potential to escalate, but it’s also not the only thing at stake in this election.” That isn’t a false compromise, that’s just how it is.

                  “It is a major conflict that has the potential to escalate, but it’s also not the only thing at stake in this election.”

                  Idk what to tell you, that’s a dismissal of the issue as unimportant, even if simply unimportant as compared to the other things you say are at stake.

        Leftists, obviously. The people they pay lip service to and then fuck over. The whole reason people vote for the green party in the first place.
