minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·2 months agoYeah, I was making a rhetorical point to contrast to how a certain someone treated an endorsement by a war criminal.

From the article: Stein’s campaign says it wants nothing to do with Duke, the former American Nazi Party member Stein’s campaign manager, Jason Call, disavowed the endorsement and called Duke “trash.”

minus-squareSocialist Mormon Satanist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down2·edit-22 months agoAn endorsement doesn’t mean the candidate becomes the same as the person endorsing them. Plenty of questionable people endorse candidates from all parties. I try to judge a candidate based on their own actions, not on the people who endorse them.
Not a good look for Jill Stein.
