didn’t trump do something similar during the debate too?
Comment on Can someone give me an overview on the Jill Stein situation?
HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 month ago“Vacillated” is a very interesting way of saying that she’s refused to straight-out say that Putin is guilty of war crimes for invading Ukraine and pursuing a war of aggression. Every time she’s been asked about it in interviews, she’s used weasel-words to avoid coming right out and saying it, while implying that she has said it. OTOH, she will absolutely say that Israel has (and is) committing war crimes in Gaza, and is pursuing genocide.

He’s been talking up his good buddy Putin since his first election.

Honestly? No idea. Didn’t watch the debate, because the kind of thing that would make me vote for Trump isn’t going to come out in a debate. Would it surprise me, given that Trump is so eager to slob the knob of any authoritarian, like Orban, Putin, or Erdoğan? Not even slightly. Stein at least–and this shows just how goddamn low this bar is–doesn’t praise authoritarian leaders.

No she does this weird thing where she says Putin is a war criminal but in the next sentence she’ll say NATO made him do it.
