The Green Party leader has hired a GOP consulting firm and worked with Trump-affiliated lawyers.

        I’ve seen other people try and explain how this all works to you so I’m not going to exercise the fully it takes to attempt it again.

        You’re wrong. Period. Case closed and end of story.

          Oh yes, I forgot Democrats are now the party of Dick Cheney and adopted MAGA into their new slogan. Make America Genocidal Again.

              What do you want to see. Kamala praising Dick Cheney and saying she is so grateful for his endorsement? Her cult followers cheering for Cheney? Democrats and Biden-led government sending more money to fund genocide being carried out by Netanyahu?

                None of that says anything about democrats being the “party of Dick Cheney”

                It’s just playing the game. You don’t shut on someone endorsing you. Not when the threat of losing our democracy is so prevalent.

                But you don’t care about any of this, do you? It doesn’t serve your purpose to see the nuance in a situation, does it?

                  If they understood nuance they wouldn’t be making the most stupid arguments imaginable…

                  Um, when it is a war criminal who lied to get America into a war that killed over 100k people, including thousands of Americans, you absolutely do denounce their support and say you don’t want it. But, as you’ve shown the corporate Democrats are so proud of the Dick Cheney endorsement.

                Her cult followers

                And here you just admitted that was bullshit and it wasn’t the same. Wild how you’re saying it again here!

                Edit: I’m just going to go ahead and…

                There we go, just for posterity.

                    Like two replies later they tried to tell me “blue maga is a nickname” lol

                    Yeah, to create a false equivalency. We already knew that.

                  I admitted that Democrats are overall more sane than Republicans. As a Democrat, I have no problem saying that. What I loath though is the Democrat attack dogs that can’t handle anything negative or a third party candidate. They go spread propaganda and make up things without ang evidence.

                    As a Democrat

                    I’m really going to struggle believing you with this considering your other comments, especially the “Hebrew School” bullshit.

                    Democrat attack dogs

                    LOL

                    can’t handle anything negative

                    There are plenty of negatives with the democrats. Literally none of them makes a Trump presidency an option worth seeing.

                    a third party candidate.

                    I’m going to correct you on this again. There are zero third party candidates which have any chance in this federal election. NONE*.

                    They are spoiler candidates. Its what RFK was, its what the Green Party has done for three elections now. This is not a debatable point. The only time Jill Stein shows up is when there is a federal election. This is her purpose. This isn’t propaganda, this is her proven track record.

                    You want third party? LOCAL ELECTIONS. Full stop, if there is no local, there is no federal. And there sure as hell isn’t a remote chance of a Presidential win.

                    Do you know how many Green Party members are currently federal officials? None.

                    NONE. Not a single one elected to any federal office.

                    Do you know how many are at the state level? As of today, NONE.

                    Less than 10 have ever been elected to a state position.

                    Talking about third parties for a presidential election is pure unabashed bullshit, intended to spoil the election, and the only people they pull votes from is Democrats.

                    So cut the crap.
