      So you’re saying you willfully overlooked how she could without hesitation call Netanyahu a war criminal but could not in the same manner say that about Putin. I’ll refer you to my original comment, that is unless you’re doing this all on bad faith of course.

        but could not in the same manner say that about Putin.

        "Mehdi Hasan: Vladimir Putin is a war criminal?

        Jill Stein: Yes, we did condemn —"

        What fucking hesitation? First fucking word of the first question, yes. You are deranged

          “Is Kyiv the capital of Ukraine?”

          “Yes, yes, we do think Moscow is the capital.”

          She said yes twice already! /s

              Seems quite similar to her answers, but obviously my “deplorably dishonest strawman” was exaggerated for effect.

              I wish we could have viable third parties, but without some kind of ranked choice voting they will only remain spoilers. Which leads people to wonder why Stein remains at the top of a party that doesn’t perform well, and actually serves to reduce votes for things they claim to care about. Democrats are a coalition of all kinds, and if enough people would bother to vote in primaries the quality control would only improve.

                but without some kind of ranked choice voting

                This is a really big sticking point for me. People always support it here, but always bring it up with no expectation of, you know, making it happen. I too want ranked choice voting, and when I say that I mean I am earnestly trying to make it happen, and it happens when we elect people that support it, like Jill. Its astounding how much she supports what people here want, but people here just despise her, making up all kinds of shit.
