    Stein agrees with Putin. It suprised me.

    Putin believe the U.S. and NATO started this war with their “expansion” and are to blame. Putin wants the U.S. to stop sending weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves. These are also Stein’s positions and she has no blame for Putin.

    Somehow counties wanting to join NATO for protection against a known aggressor is being aggressive. Swed/Fin did not want to join NATO before the invasion. Putin changed those citizen’s minds.

      She said that it was wrong and illegal and that she didn’t agree with it, in the very video you sent!

      When asked if she felt it was wrong, she said, “Absolutely, yes. It was wrong, it was a criminal act, it’s a violation of international law.”

        You have a habit of leaving out important information, here let me get it for you:

        “Absolutely, yes. It was wrong, it was a criminal.act, it’s a violation of international law. At the same time, this war has been ginned up by the US and NATO expansion towards Russian Territory.

        She’s defending Putin’s actions, clearly.

          I don’t see it that way. She said ““Absolutely, yes. It was wrong, it was a criminal act, it’s a violation of international law.” How do you see that as she is defending his actions?

          Her saying that the US and NATO sucks doesn’t support war.

          I’m not voting for her, so I don’t care. But you’re wrong.

            She didn’t say NATO and the US suck, she said they started it. You are either willfully misinterpreting this or are so disenfranchised from our current political climate that you’re ignoring serious red flags.

              She specifically said she this it’s wrong what Putin is doing, and this it’s against international law. You are either willfully misinterpreting this or are so disenfranchised from our current political climate that you’re ignoring serious red flags.

                She’s just pulling a “I’m not racist, but…”

                You dont say all that shit and then be like, b-but they started it! After having din-din with daddy Pootin.

              • While I personally disagree with this stance in this particular case, I think it’s reasonable to say on the one hand, A did wrong and A was bad, while also pointing out that it takes two to tango and that maybe there were some things that B could have done better.

                So to recap, I agree with Stein on A (“It was wrong, it was a criminal act, it’s a violation of international law.”) but disagree with Stein on B (“this war has been ginned up by the US and NATO expansion towards Russian Territory.”)

                In fact, I’m quite bothered here as Ukraine joining NATO doesn’t involve Russian Territory unless Ukraine itself is Russian Territory, which I simply cannot agree with.

            I’m not voting for her, so I don’t care.

            This genuinely surprises me. You hype up Stein a ton on Lemmy. Pretty much every pro-Stein post I see on here is posted by you. And you defend her doggedly in the comments. That seems like a lot of effort and emotional investment for a candidate you won’t be voting for.

              I’m not hyping her up. I’m posting news articles. I’m actually voting Socialist Workers Party. I like Stein, but I’m not voting for her.

              If you feel any of the content in the article is inaccurate, please feel free to contact the news org that wrote the article.

    Supports Russian terrorism and their propaganda justifications for it though so thppt.

    spoiler
    1. Funding for Ukraine

    Do you support continued funding for weapons in Ukraine? What conditions or limits would you place on that funding? Chevron Icon Stein has criticized the money and weapons the United States has sent to Ukraine, and she wrote, "yes, Russia illegally invaded Ukraine – but did so with a gun to its head, or in this case, nuclear-compatible missiles.”

    www.washingtonpost.com


    She only admits the invasion is illegal because she’d have to be a complete berserker to think others take her seriously otherwise. The rest is one of Putin’s many BS excuses.

    Ah doing another stein lap?

    Let’s see, perhaps a “I’m not voting for her I’m just posting articles”, with a side of “I’m not doing anything wrong, contact the author if you disagree”.

    Top it off with a bit of modbait perhaps, as a treat?

      Exactly. And I stand by those words. You can believe what you wanna belive. I’ve said my part. Accept it or not. Not my problem.

      Top it off with a bit of modbait perhaps, as a treat?

      I don’t know what that means.

    Well, it’s not all of them though, from the article,

    According to CAIR’s analysis, Harris leads Stein among Muslim voters in other swing states, including Georgia (43% to 17%), Pennsylvania (37% to 25%), and Nevada (26% to 13%, with Trump at 27%).

    Democrats deserve to lose 100 percent of the Muslim vote. and good chunks of any one else that opposes genocide and US Imperialism, but it’ll be the same people that say we need to protect marginalized communities that don’t give a flying fuck about US Imperialism killing people around the world. The majority of them only care about human rights within the US border, which translates to they don’t give a flying fuck about anyone’s rights. If they’re willing to sacrifice someone elses rights to protect theirs, they need to reevaluate themselves.

    To cut through the nonsense and save everyone time, especially since many in this community have a habit of resorting to personal attacks when responding to my posts recently: I support and respect everyone’s right to vote for who they want to.

    I’m just posting this article that’s already available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy—I didn’t write it, just sharing it for discussion.
