If you think this reflects badly on stein ask yourself 2 questions, did he endorse her because she's also a white supremacist? Did she accept the endorsement?
The answer to the first is probably no since stein is a Jewish women so I don't think she'd get along well with all the other white supremacists who think she's sub-human. The reason he endorsed her was because she's the only one who would end the war in Gaza and fight the "Jewish lobby". If your a Zionist and believe that any action against Israel is anti-Semitic then yeah stein and Duke are the same. If you live outside that delusional world then you'd recognize dukes dislike for Israel and steins, (and most of the worlds) dislike for Israel come from two completely different values systems and world views.
The answer to the second is easier, No, her campaign rejected it and called him trash as soon as they heard about it.
So does this actually reflect badly on stein, or is this just the ravings of an insane person who's trying to elect a Jewish woman to take out his imagined grand Jewish conspiracy? Critique stein if you want but this is nothing.
I generally agree with you, but it does make her eat some of her own words as pointed out elsewhere in this comment section:
Stein stans refusing to engage with this screencap while also arguing that it's okay because Stein disavowed Duke's endorsement:
They share the same goal so it's not a coincidence he'd endorse her.
What exactly is the goal you think they share and how does his endorsement advance that goal?
Seems like a fair question on such a vague statement. Like climate goals? Israel? Snack cakes?
He left it up to readers to self insert to not have to make a statement that can be fact checked. It's cheap conversation.
Thank you for bringing logic to this thread!
For real. If David Duke endorsed Harris, democrats would be crowing about it and saying they'll take all the help they can get (see all the recent neocon ghoul endorsements).
What a load of bullshit.
At least David Duke wasn't responsible for multiple imperial invasions.
I'm not defending Dick Cheney.
But you can't try to argue that the Holocaust denying former grand wizard of the KKK wouldn't do that if he was given the chance.
Not yet, but you can still have hope
Absolute bullshit
People weren't welcoming Dick Cheney's endorsement of Harris?
Are you suggesting that Cheney and Duke are equivalent?
No, Duke is a huge piece of shit, but Cheney has done immeasurably more harm to the world.
Edit: Ah, I forgot that to liberals, it is a greater sin to be an (uncouth) racist, than it is to be the architect for the deaths of a million people.
If one has more power, they are likely to do more harm in the world, regardless of how shitty they are of a human being. While I have no love affair with Cheney, he is not the absolutely piece of human garbage that Duke is.
You think that people here are defending Cheney, but really it's you defending Duke.
What the fuck? Duke is a piece of shit absolutely, but Cheney has done real fucking harm to the world that you can measure in dead children. Cheney is worse by far.
Go out and do an informal poll of the people you know and ask them who they think is a worse human.

A self portrait of the poster.
nope and you know that. they clearly said even these monsters think Trump is worse than their ideological opposite.
I saw quite a lot of "hey we'll take whatever help we can get".
Right. Meaning if this wins over a few old school republicans, cool. Zero democrats like or welcome the ideologies of people like Cheney. Which everyone here knows.
Right. Which is the same as what I suspect you'd say if it was David Duke endorsing Harris too.
lololol sure.
Yep!
