Former KKK leader David Duke endorses Jill Stein

Hmm.. I wonder why a certain user who’s been posting non-stop about third-party candidates for the entire lifespan of their account chose to ignore this particular article. One would assume it’s important for the voting public to know about this, no?

I can't laugh heard enough about this.

Lol

He is not just any wizard. He is grand.

The funniest part about this is I had no idea David Duke was alive. He was the main villain of BlackKKlansman. Imagine living to see yourself get written as the villain of a hit movie.

Also, mandatory fuck David Duke and Jill Stein.

Hahahaha. Of course he did.

Can we all finally agree that supportingJill Stein is being the 11th person at the table?

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.

David Duke is responsible for my phase where I grew out of a simplistic view of politics and economics and started looking into things a little deeper. Hear me out: Back in the day, I went through a Libertarian phase. I supported Ron Paul. I was young and stupid, what can I say? Anyway, I read some news article that claimed that David Duke donated to his campaign. I was like, “Hmmm, what’s this all about?” And so began my realization that things are never as simple as we want them to be. So, thanks for being a racist dick, David Duke. Without your donation to Ron Paul raising my suspicions, it may have been at least a few more months before I picked up on the rotten smell. I might have actually put that stupid bumper sticker on and everything (shudder).

Best endorsement dems could hope for, really.

I see this more as a loss of support for Trump, just like the many Republican endorsements for Harris. It doesn't change Stein's chances either way, and who supports someone is more a sign of how that person leans, not the candidate.

What will be interesting (but again, inconsequential) is how Stein will treat this. Ignore? Simple thanks? A rally to try and pull more of those who would follow him? (I think some will see where I'm going there)

Aaaaand there ya go. This is all you need to know about Jill Stein right? Because if Harris is a conservative because of Cheney’s endorsement….

Or are the rules different?

Fucking. LOL.

Didn't Richard Spencer endorse Biden in a game of 64D chess as a 5000 IQ play?

....

Still either way, Jill's an Ableist Transphobe on Putin's payroll and even if she wasn't, she cannot win a single state under the current Electoral College so she could be literally the second coming of Christ and it wouldn't matter.

Ok, that's pretty funny. An endorsement shouldn't be taken too seriously (given a certain string of endorsements I don't like for Harris) but it's still really funny. Fuck Jill Stein.

How is he still alive? He has been an annoying public figure since the 80s.

Sup Universalmonk where u at?

Why do people even care what a gross white supremacist thinks?

This is a real head scratcher.

Damn and after all Donald Trump did for him.

Very funny that this KKK leader endorsed the Green Party candidate because she was the only one anti-Israel. Something something horseshoe theory I guess.

Yes racists, please vote for Jill

Not a good look for Jill Stein.

Hahaha holy shit

How long until she drops out now? Jr dropped out soon after Rogan endorsed him.

No more burnin no more hangin. From now on we will compost the bodies. #GreenHoods

Stein's campaign says it wants nothing to do with Duke, the former American Nazi Party member

Stein’s campaign manager, Jason Call, disavowed the endorsement and called Duke "trash."

That is how it is done. Unlike Harris. Who went on a parade with Liz Cheney, and praised Dick Cheney for his work after they endorsed her.

Weird.

You mean the guy former NFL quarterback David Duke Carr was probably named after?

A piece shit likes the smell of their own.

I'm not a Stein voter, but blaming candidates when other people endorsing them seems odd.

How about this: "I have sex with farm animals all day long, and on behalf of the farm animal love society, I endorse Kamala Harris!"

So now should we write news stories about Harris being the bestiality candidate?

no, right. So why is everyone doing it to Stein?

..Are you guys listening to me or still think of bestiality?

Centrists haven't been this happy about an endorsement since Cheney-senpai noticed them.

Duke, a proudly antisemitic white supremacist, endorsed Trump in 2016 and 2020, but on his radio show yesterday, he slammed Trump's "subservience to Israel and to the Jewish lobby" and said only Stein would stand up to Israel and its "genocide" against Palestinians.

Weird… sounds like a lot of “leftists” on lemmy…

Finally. A sensible decision.

Democrats: Jill Stein is draining voters off of Harris and could cost us the election!

Jill Stein voters: See article title.

Tankies sure love collecting retards for their club.

Of course Lemmy (which is leftist when it comes to politics because "left is the good guys!!1!1") cares so much about something so stupid.

Hey yall, David Duke endorses people but that doesnt mean theyre in cahoots lol. Sheesh this is pathetic.

And Putin endorsed Harris. These people know that their endorsement is a vote against that candidate, not for them.

Everyone's so focused on putting Jill Stein down so that those votes go to Harris. Any ideas on how we can get tiered voting implemented so that third parties are viable choices instead of being the same as not voting at all?

Not quite the same impact as endorsements from war criminals.

Cornel West 2024!!!

Harris is openly embracing Dick Cheney endorsements, lol. It is nothing for Jill to reject it. This is also the same crowd that "Biden has changed for his segregationist" lmao.

Nobody cares. The US is a rogue country. Why am I seeing this shit?

I still like her though. I didn't vote for her, but I love how much drama she has caused the Democratic Party. :)
