I can't laugh heard enough about this.
Someone should cross post this to a certain Satanist’s page.
Fake* Satanist
Unfortunate.
Luckily, I can still hear laughs.
ERMAGHERD dat typo!
What I suspect is happening here is that an endorsement of this nature can be seen as a "kiss of death" - folks who might otherwise vote for a candidate might be turned off once they hear this news.
Last time it seems the GOP candidate got the endorsement and lost, so to prevent a "kiss of death" effect in this election he is endorsing a spoiler in order to continue drawing votes away from Harris, while hoping to retain votes for the GOP candidate, causing the election to swing to a GOP win.
Remember, as the GOP guy famously said, "A vote for Stein is a vote for me!"
(Now, will this strategy actually be effective? I have doubts that enough people pay attention to this group for it to be relevant.)
Who the hell would change their vote from Harris to Stein based on an endorsement from a former Ku Klux Klan leader?!
No one. Rather, it's a call to energize white nationalists groups to indirectly support the GOP candidate, while avoiding the kiss of death for him.
If this doesn't really seem to make too much sense, it's because it doesn't. I doubt the folks behind this thought it through that well..
