    There’s a very clear difference: Stein is a well-documented, intentional spoiler who’s funding comes primarily from Republican mega-donors and Russian interests, and who recently said out loud her purpose isn’t to advance her party but exclusively to block Harris.

    Her track record makes that endorsement poignant.

    If she was sincere and didn’t already align with fascist interests, we wouldn’t care what Nazis say about her.

      LOL, no there isn’t.

      Horrible person endorses candidate I like: “you can help who endorses you, it doesn’t mean anything about their values”. Horrible person endorses candidate I don’t like: “see, if you support them you’re in bed with [the KKK/war criminals]”.

      If she was sincere and didn’t already align with fascist interests, we wouldn’t care what Nazis say about her.

      If Harris was a progressive peacenik who didn’t seem open to aligning with neocon foreign policy, no one would think anything of welcoming Cheney into her campaign.

      It’s the same exact reasoning, just reformulated for whether you like the candidate in question.

        Harris has not “aligned with” any Cheney or other neocon. Stop pretending that you don’t understand how electoral politics works.
