‘Useful Idiot for Russia’: DNC Decides to Go Off on Jill Stein - eviltoast
The committee has largely kept quiet about the Green party nominee. But that’s now changing.

“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

    Politicians are SCARED of AIPAC and they have a right to be:

    From where I’m sitting, it looks like centrists continue to support genocide because AIPAC funds challengers to progressive incumbents for them.

      Yup. Because if you go against AIPAC they will spend loads to remove you.

      There is no pro-Palestine PAC with the same cashflow, maybe there should be?

      Hey Crab! Let’s get on that? Think we can get, I dunno, a billion from the Saudis and flood AIPAC out?

        Yup. Because if you go against AIPAC they will spend loads to remove you.

        And centrists will gladly support genocide if it means locking out progressives.

        Please don’t mock me. The only reason that AIPAC can interfere in US elections as brazenly as it does is that politicians they’ve bought look the other way. You think they’re gonna let another group horn in on what they’ve got? You know better than that.
