Jill Stein Accuses John Oliver Of Being A Corporate Stooge Because She's a F*cking Idiot

"You can't make this stuff up. Jill Stein is mad at John Oliver for accurately describing her campaign promises as "fundamentally flawed." In retaliation for hurting her feelings, Stein's campaign put on its dunce cap and "debunked" Oliver by accusing him, with a straight face, of conspiring with corporations against Stein:"

""His hands are far from clean - he's a millionaire". That is simply breathtaking. John Oliver is one of the strongest and most important progressive voices in the country. He is widely credited with single-handedly (along with his writing staff) preserving Net Neutrality. Buuuuut he's suspect because he's rich? "

she will locate the person to blame for her political difficulties.

If she had had the good sense to hire someone as perceptive and articulate as John Oliver to run her campaign, she might be pulling more than one percent of the national vote.

How anyone can support that hypocritical, bullshitting Trump surrogate for the left and GOP funded vote suppressor is beyond me. I can't believe people are that woefully uninformed, but apparently they are.

"Tofu Palin" is a perfect descriptor.

Our cause is to elect Democrats. His cause appeared to be pot-stirring and Trump-humping using Stein as a club to beat us on the head.

Talk like that sours me on your cause.

History and experience show that when you try to suppress someone, you almost always make that person and their cause stronger.

"It sucks. It would be nice if the green party was at least somewhat good instead of loons" is far from 'fear'; it explicitly likes the idea of a viable green party, but says Stein is useless.

You seems to mistake a simple dismissal for 'fear'.

I live in freaking Hippieville, and do they run for local office here, or even county or state? Nope. It's President or GTFO. And it's this Stein nut job, who I find annoying on top of being a grandstanding empty suit, every time. If she's the best the Greens can offer, then we need better Leftist parties in a big way.
