“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

      They want the “Democrat Party” to go to trial for (not sure for what exactly), so this could also be some MAGA idiot trying to sound smart, while telling us not to vote for Kamala.

      I don’t hear Tankies say “Democrat Party” all that much, that’s a pretty solid right-wing-ism.

      Could be “Horseshoe Theory”, I guess, but lately I feel like we need to cut through the bullshit and recognize that every single person telling us not to vote for Kamala is perfectly fine with another Trump term, and that’s enough for me to call someone a fascist.

        Tankies usually say dumb shit like “Blue MAGA” which is absolutely hilarious. Really makes it easy to tell when someone has no clue about what they’re talking about.

        Could also be they are low-info that relied on solely wingnut sources and then they turned 14. Would explain the “Democrat Party” thing. The right wing has been doing this intentionally for decades. For the “unity” they keep talking about, of course. They do this almost universally, from top to bottom.

        Imagine if nearly every single Democrat - from the President on down, called the Republican Party something that is not their name, intentionally, only to irritate the right.

        And these people dare to call the Obama administration and the Biden administration divisive! It’s just more of their DARVO.

      Or maybe its a case like Joe Rogan and Assmongold who say they’re left-wing while extolling far-right narratives and conspiracy theories (and sometimes outright anti-scientific folly like 1×1=2), basically using it as a manipulative talking point to mislead their millions of followers (the vast majority of whom just happen to be white men with proto-fascist views of the world)

        Either way, when I see it, I realize that they have lost the plot and aren’t arguing in good faith.
