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?
Lol
ouch, that didnt age well for Stein. Well I'm onboard with her owning that David Duke endorsement then.

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).
David Duke's endorsement is a slander, and I think he knows that and uses it intentionally.
That's OK. If it gives a few more people one more reason not to vote Jill Stein, I'll take it.
Seriously. Jill Stein has done nothing and doesn't deserve anyone's vote.
In this recent case, yes. I never made a statement one way or the other on that in my comment, though. Being the type of person he is, he has the choice of being either serious or unserious with his endorsements. Putin does the same thing when he makes some sort of open statement regarding who he would prefer to win the election.
Back in the day, I went through a Libertarian phase. I supported Ron Paul.
You and the entirety of reddit in the 2012 election I think. To be fair, there's plenty liberals and libertarians agree on. Unfortunately, you can share some common beliefs with someone and they can still be a piece of shit.
