    Liberals continue to blame everyone but themselves for their own failures.

    It was Jill Stein vote siphoning a whole 1.07% of the vote, it was Russia convincing everyone with a Facebook account that Hillary was a vampire, it was democrat voters for being too stupid to vote for her, it was the fault of literally everyone but Clinton for her being a craven, power hungry ghoul with a track record of tearing countries apart (demanding Bill start bombing in Yugoslavia before she’d sleep with him again, orchestrating Libya becoming an open air slave market…)

    She couldn’t even have charisma or be funny, she was and is just an empty void craving power.

    I love how 3rd parties are magically the source of all our electoral ills when they hold less than .01% of the power. It’s crazy how the DNC has the audacity to call anyone one out when they are the at the helm and somehow they never any power to change course

      The DNC can never fail they can only be failed. Everyone on earth wants a ceasefire, but Kamala says I’m speaking sweaty here’s 18 billion more bunker buster munitions

      They will lose and are just laying the groundwork to blame the green party.

      Every recent US president has had personal phone conversations with the leaders of ‘hostile’ countries. Is Stein a powerless wrecker like AOC says or is she a 4D chess mastermind who will dismantle US democracy with the help of Putin? Can’t have it both ways.

        Westoids are permanently stuck in the Cold War. What the fuck does red have to do with the modern state of Russia? Are they aware it hasn’t been communist in like 30 years?

      The willingness to work with geopolitical adversaries makes me think that she would be a more effective steward of the United States as we enter the new multipolar era. Both major party candidates want to continue to force American hegemony on the rest of the world at gunpoint. This approach will only end in more bloodshed. Why do you think meeting with the leader of another major power is a bad thing, especially before the beginning of the Special Military Operation?

            The wost part of this entire liberal delusion re: stein and putin, is that it seems like Biden absorbed it. Trump, Obama, Bush, all met with Putin in the standard diplomatic setting for discussions. Joe Biden refused to meet with Putin or listen to Russian diplomatic entreaties regarding Ukraine and whaddya know, it turns out refusing to meet diplomatically can lead directly to military conflict and the loss of thousands of lives.

            Anyway Jill Stein bad for meeting with bad man, Joe Biden good for not meeting with bad man and completely destroying an entire nation. the-democrat

      Narrator: another wild liberal finds its way from the all feed and into to forest of threads haunted by the networks left. These spectral creatures hunger to inform, but when the vessel is resistant to their fountain of wisdom, the only recourse is to dunk savagely.

      Cold War brain is a hellava drug. specter-global

      Look at this commie RUSSIAN ASSET traitor! billdawg

      Holy shit here’s another high level traitor! hillary-contempt

      Another compromised agent of the Kremlin sitting at a table with Putin! With advisors! obama-sad

      I can’t find a picture of bernie and Putin so I think we missed out on a non Russian asset president by not electing him. … Hang on… oh noes Bernie named a PINKO USSR SOVIET CITY AS A SISTER CITY?! …he had his HONEYMOON IN SOVIET MOSCOW! TRAITOR! WEAK ASS COMMIE TRAITOR!

      Starting to see how silly this guilt by association crap is? How Cold War brain has poisoned minds and people are programed to react aggressively defensive with anything Russian? It’s xenophobic and paranoia.

      They cleared Stein. It was an environmental summit. While everyone is talking climate change and what nations can do to address it. She just happens to be high up in an eco-socialist party and a life long ecological activist.

      I thought we as a country moved on from this McCarthite Red Scare junk and all the problems it caused us and the world. Russia and China are economic competitors to resources Wall Street wants to exploit. They are not and need not be our mortal enemy.

      Recent Jill Stein interview

      the Senate Intelligence Committee investigated this because there was such a smear campaign that was being mounted against me. And when the Senate Intelligence Committee finished their investigation they published a couple pages that basically said, There’s nothing here, and we thank Jill Stein for her full cooperation. That’s what that amounted to.

      If any of the charges stuck do you think she’d be walking free? All that noise and conspiracy theory spread by our media and political establishment to put a false guilt by association charge in people’s minds and to whip up a 3rd Red Scare.

      Good I’m glad she’s willing to open diplomatic channels before the election has even started, sets a good example, maybe Biden and Harris can learn from her?
