Did nobody here read the article?

A spokesperson for Stein said she was unaware of Pool's reported connection to Jan. 6; a lawyer for Pool insisted his client was filming a documentary, not taking part in the attack.

Just because you're somewhere people are doing bad things doesn't mean you're in support of it, especially if you're filming them doing bad things..

The real story here is that she had to pay any law firm at all to fight against the Democratic party to get on the ballot, because the Democratic party is suing to undermine democracy.

Riiiight. She was totally unaware of it. Because Russian shills are notorious for being honest about their deceit.

You still didn't read it, did you?

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 13 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I read it. I think she’s full of shit like she has been the entire time.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago

Again, you're not reading it. I'm referencing the last part. Literally just read.

[-] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds like they read it, and decided it sounded like bullshit.

They keep referencing what Jill said, which tells me they didn't read it. I didn't say anything about what Jill said. I referenced the fact that they were making a documentary about the event. And they literally condemned it as an "attack". Insurrectionists defend the insurrection

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 9 points 2 weeks ago

She’s a Russian shill. That’s what the article says. I fail to see why you’re here defending it still.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Some people just can't read I guess. Or are you a bot?

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 8 points 2 weeks ago

You’re not getting it man. No matter how hard you defend her, or accuse people of shit with zero evidence- the facts don’t change here.

[-] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 7 points 2 weeks ago

There’s what they claim they were there for that hasn’t been litigated yet and what they are seen on video doing (carrying around a bike rack style blockade and waving a gadsen flag). This is completely ignoring the recent assault charges they’ve received these are both easily found online.

Yeah. While I think its wack to vote 3rd party given the risks of a republican win with anything nowadays. Stein has been around for awhile and if she was motivated by a win at all costs type thing she would not be part of the green party. I mean she could have easily ran for house or senate as a democrat and likley have had a political career for the last few decades.
