This thread mostly shows how broken the democratic system in the US is, not that she did anything wrong. Try coming to a real democracy with many parties and coalitions being formed. They actually thrive on dissent, finding compromise and collaborating for the greater good ;)

Her buddy Putin definitely doesn't think she did anything wrong.

It's nonsense to assume that every vote for Stein in 2016 would have voted for Clinton. Most exit polls showed that people who voted for Stein or Johnson would not have voted in the first place. Hillary was a losing candidate from the start.

Anybody who cares about Green policy should vote against Trump.

[–] capital@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Logically, yeah.

But if these voters were logical they would realize the issue with FPTP voting systems and not fuck with 3rd parties in the first place.

At least not at the national level. Third parties do fairly well locally.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

The ones that bother actually showing up. AKA not the Green Party.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That part. They are repeating 2016 talking points again.

Nobody ever claimed “everybody”, just the “enough”, and the data actually reflects that. Even if they didn’t vote, Clinton would’ve won.

I voted for Stein for 2016 (before we knew what we know now), and I voted for Howie Hawkins in 2020. But then I lived in New York, and I knew my vote wouldn’t matter, so I could vote my conscience without threatening the concept of democracy. This year I am in Florida, and I damn well fucking know I’m gonna vote for Kamala Harris and a straight democratic ticket below that. Because I understand the consequences of my actions.

Let us salute this brave soul who has moved to Florida.

God speed.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was family stuff. I absolutely hate living here, I wanna get back to New York as soon as possible.

[–] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That sucks, mate.

Hope you are able to move back soon.

Nah this ain’t true. Under political accomplishments it should include “amazing Russian asset”

Having dinner in the same room with papa poopin (and everyone's favorite qanon and traitor, Michael Flynn) and not setting off a Geiger counter is definitely an achievement.

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 63 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nothing to see here. Just a quick meet and greet with a traitor and a murderous dictator.

For political accomplishments, she did managed to get invited to meeting with putin. You can't be just anybody. You have to give it to her.

As for the qualifications, trump showed us that you can do it at your own leisure, nobody will fire you if you won't do it.

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (33 children)

Twisted mediocre bitch achieved everything she set out to do in 2016.
She must be very smug and proud of herself.

She's has experience going to Russia.

[–] draneceusrex@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

...At which she shared a table with Vladimir Putin and disgraced National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

Mathematical likelihood of winning:

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Don't forget an endorsement from David Duke.
