Russian shill.

Are you calling Jill Stein a russian shill or the reporter?
-
Probably the one that would consider pardoning terrorists in the imaginary world where her worthless "campaign" ended in the power to do so.

I can’t believe I voted for this chucklefuck in 2016

God damn. You give Jill Stein like 20 chances to answer a question the right way, and she fucks it up EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
What absolute fools are voting for this woman?

This is like the only thing Stein would have power to do without the need of congressional support that she's mentioned doing, and it's the wrong answer

Websites that have permanently banned this user:
- https://reddit.com/user/universalmonkartist/
- https://lemmy.ca/u/UniversalMonk@lemmy.world
- https://dubvee.org/u/universalmonk@lemmy.world
It seems likely the reason each one banned him is the same reason their every post and comment is sitting at < -25. People detest the anti-democrat messaging and the way it's delivered. It's undeniable that this user rubs enough people the wrong way that they get a lot of attention for that alone.
During an election year especially, I expect better of any social media website than to just let this shit happen.

It makes me want to puke that we had proven pro-Trump Russian meddling in the 2016 election, and yet here we are on a "leftist" platform watching this happen without any effective type of ban hammer striking down, on the off chance that this behavior isn't exactly what it looks like. Fucking enraging.

I like her, but she is out of her mind if she thinks this was a good thing to say. lmao

Word of the day: quisling: a citizen or politician of an occupied country who collaborates with an enemy occupying force – or more generally as a synonym for traitor or collaborator.
Fun! So what citizen or politican are you referring to? Jill Stein? Because of this article or the rioters? Or both? I don't think I would refer to any of them as traitors. Idiots, maybe, but nah, not traitors.
Your words, correct? And yet you then reply to me just moments later. Troll.
My guess would be Stein herself (for collaborating with Russians, even tho that's not exactly what a "useful idiot" does).
Anyways, Stein's actual take is more reasonable:
Basically she would have to individually review to ensure sentences are not unduly long, harsh, etc. And there's no commitment to actually pardon anyone, it may be no more than a check that due process was followed and punishment is not cruel and unusual, etc. (Of course, this is a politician using the usual vague words, etc.)
In fact, there's to commitment to actually do the review, this was just in response to being asked if she thought the sentences were fair - "i don't know, i'd have to get into the weeds to see if they were or not" perhaps with an implied "and i can't be bothered to do that".
