”RUSSIAN ASSETS… ASSEMBLE!!!”

(No spot for Jill Stein yet??? wtf)

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 42 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Jill still likes to pretend that she's not funded by Republican donors to siphon off Democrat votes.

I'd love for the Green party (and others) to be an actual viable alternative, but until they are a third party national office vote means almost nothing.

Have you seen the photo of her dining with Putin and his staff, …and Mike Flynn all at the same little round table?

I have. I made somebody really upset a few months ago by pointing out that she was a Russian asset.

Probably UniversalMonk, the Lemmy poster version of a spoiler candidate.

Oh, universal changes display name every week now. Better keep up.

Doesn't show up differently on Voyager, luckily, so it's really easy to spot right away. I don't want to block outright because it's better to at least be able to see when some bullshit needs to be countered.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, block and be done with it. They like attention.

We have a lot of those here. Not naming names so as to not summon them.
