    Well “in so many words” she did call him a war criminal and described his war as criminal as well. And since that wasn’t enough, she immediately followed up by releasing a statement specifically calling him a war criminal to clear up any confusion.

    I think Stein is a spoiler candidate, very possibly in the pocket of Russia, and annoying af, but this is trying to make something out of nothing.

      She could have explained what “in so many words” meant when she was asked. She also could have just said “yes, he’s a war criminal” like Hassan did about both Putin and Netanyahu. He also agreed with her that the U.S. bears responsibility for Israeli genocide.

      None of that was good enough for her.

      And good for her for releasing a statement almost no one will see rather than just making it totally clear on national TV. Very brave of her.

        I guess she won’t get your vote then. But thanks for keeping her in the public eye. People that might vote for her aren’t going to be bothered by this. All you’re doing is reminding voters she exists.

        Edit: oh god, you’re that dude that posts over 3,000 comments a month. Nevermind, as you were.

            Fair play to you for posting that many comments. You’re putting the actual work in to make this place interesting. The best thing about you in my opinion, as opposed to a lot of active posters (here and elsewhere) is that you often disagree with the hive mind, and you stick to your guns. And I’ve seen you, on more than one occasion, actually, publicly change your fucking mind when you were presented with a persuasive argument. Lemmy, the Fediverse, and internet discussion in general, needs more like you. (Even if you were wrong about that one thing that time).
            To your health, Mr. Squid!

      If by very possibly you mean IS- then I wholeheartedly agree!
