An endorsement doesn’t mean the candidate becomes the same as the person endorsing them. Plenty of questionable people endorse candidates from all parties. I try to judge a candidate based on their own actions, not on the people who endorse them.

Why? She has nothing to do with him, and the party even said so. From the article:

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.”

And they declined his endorsement:

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.”

And you're brave for admitting that here on Lemmy. I respect your balls, friend!

You know what? I respect your edit and you admitting what happened. Rare on Lemmy these days. Have my upvote, friend. :)

Yep, funny how may people are overlooking that!

I remember when I seemed to be the only pro-third party person here. Man, things are changing fast!

and be sure to save this too:

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.”

Thank you!!

Yep!

Thank you for bringing logic to this thread!

Who got accused of running two accounts?

Damn! I spent $400 on my ebike from amazon, and thought, "Holy shit, this is awesome!" I get that it's not even close to the quality of that Scott bike, but I fucking guarantee that I don't think the Scott bike would feel worth $9,000 more. lol

This is awesome. I wish my city would get on board with this.

Agreed. I don't think Trump is going to win.

That's a fucking nice looking bike! Oy! But $3,000 makes sure it's a no-go for me.

What is there to respond to? I didn't write the article. And I didn't post "the same exact article" either. There is no rule that we have to "respond" to articles that we post or don't post.

This article reported some political news. This is a political news community. So people post political news articles.

Not sure what sort of "gotcha" moment you are looking for here. Are you trying to imply that just because some racist wacko inserted himself into the news and said that he supports Jill Stein, that it has anything to do with me?!

Or what is it that you're looking for from me? I don't understand.

Updated and corrected. Thank you!

Just because I post an article doesn’t mean I endorse everything in it. That seems to be a big misunderstanding here on Lemmy.

I read a lot of political news—some I like, some I don’t. Since this is a political news community, I post links to articles from various sources. There’s no rule that says we have to agree with everything in the articles we share.

For example, if I post a Trump article from Newsweek, it doesn’t mean I support Trump, no matter how many people jump in claiming I do. It’s like a newspaper reporting that Trump is leading in a poll—that doesn’t mean they endorse him. It’s just the news.

This isn’t a “Pro-Harris only” community. There’s plenty of pro-Harris content already, so having some opposing views won’t hurt anyone. And, by the way, I don’t support Trump and don’t care if he wins or not, but I don’t think he has any real chance.

Yes, I voted for Rachele Fruit. And yes, I am aware that her view is different than some of the other candidates. Tho I don't agree with her on every issue, I do agree with her on most.

My main interest is worker's rights stuff, not Gaza war stuff. Again, this is different than most Lemmy's. And that's ok. This community supports diversity of political thought.

So she's the candidate that most closely aligned with my views. Thanks! :)
