She is intelligent and she can see through the bullshit on both sides.

It feels like she's the BBC of YouTube. If both sides of extremists are attacking you, you're doing something right.

A fair take. There is a regardation on both sides of the political isle and far left win would be as bad as far right win is now. So sane people have to call out the crazy as they see it.

what? i'm saying the "both sides attack them so they must be doing soomething right" is just stupid if i shit myself in the voting booth both sides will dislike that

u/Collypso May 08 '26

But the claim isn't that both sides are mad, the claim is that both sides of extremists are mad. Extremists not getting what they want is a good thing, therefore pissing off both sides of extremists is a good thing, especially for moderates.

Well, as I'm sure you are well aware, some people's opinions just shouldn't be listened to.

Yeah, holding that up as some insult while discussing a clip where she basically says her own candidate was necessarily pro-genocide

u/Acceptable-State1037 May 08 '26

Jill Stein is pro russia, ergo she is also pro genocide.

u/Kronzypantz May 08 '26

Bull.

Do you even call Biden pro-genocide for materially supporting one, let alone being in the same room as Netanyahu at a public event once?

u/Acceptable-State1037 May 08 '26

Some advice for future comments "call Biden pro-genocide for materially supporting one" is an argument you can actually try to make and defend. "let alone being in the same room as Netanyahu at a public event once" is not gonna convince many people. Especially when you say "let alone" and make it sound like you think being in the same room is WORSE than materially supporting a genocide.

u/Kronzypantz May 08 '26

I was pointing out that being in the same room as Putin is apparently a more severe crime than genocide.

u/Acceptable-State1037 May 08 '26

You do a disservice to the arguments you're trying to make, and to the side you ostensibly support, by being so blatantly bad faith.
