Democrats: Jill Stein is draining voters off of Harris and could cost us the election!

Jill Stein voters: See article title.

Best endorsement dems could hope for, really.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 17 points 11 hours ago

I see this more as a loss of support for Trump, just like the many Republican endorsements for Harris. It doesn't change Stein's chances either way, and who supports someone is more a sign of how that person leans, not the candidate.

What will be interesting (but again, inconsequential) is how Stein will treat this. Ignore? Simple thanks? A rally to try and pull more of those who would follow him? (I think some will see where I'm going there)

Right? Imagine Trump not being racist enough for David Duke. I bet he'd be really mad if he weren't straight vibin

How is he still alive? He has been an annoying public figure since the 80s.

Not quite the same impact as endorsements from war criminals.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 13 points 9 hours ago

True, but not many people have lead what used to be the largest terrorist organization in the US.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

David Duke ran the Portland Police Bureau!?

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

The KKK was the largest terrorist organization in the US by any standard.

It does kind of depend on how you classify various police departments and whether they're considered independent groups or cells under a single umbrella organization. But then again, in its heyday, the Venn diagram of the police and the KKK had quite a lot of overlap.

Some of those that work forces...

[-] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Harris is openly embracing Dick Cheney endorsements, lol. It is nothing for Jill to reject it. This is also the same crowd that "Biden has changed for his segregationist" lmao.

[-] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 12 points 10 hours ago

cheney is evil but he doesn't support the kkk.

How long until she drops out now? Jr dropped out soon after Rogan endorsed him.
