It must be the fault of foreigners right? Because no "true American" can be critical of our own country's military industrial complex?

Dems have fully transitioned into Bush era Republicans

What are you being critical of? You’re definitely being disingenuous. Jill Stein is garbage, has been photographed with Putin and his staff at events, and is working with republicans.

If you wanna defend what the Green Party used to aspire to go right ahead but when they hold near 0 offices around the country, and I believe actually 0 at the federal level at some point you blaming that on dems starts to sound a whole lot like republican propaganda.

Y’all have some false equivalency between dems and trump republicans but you can’t see that most dem voters would be aligned with your views more than the right if you weren’t only trying to spoil our candidates.

What are you being critical of?

The American military industrial complex. That's what I said in the comment you're responding to.

[–] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you are implying that Jill Stein is genuine and not most likely a foreign asset. Because that’s the original point of this post, not propping up the military industrial complex.

But I also see the .ml on your instance….so it all becomes clear.

I'll rewind since you apparently have short term memory loss and can't use the "show context" button.

I commented:

This post is sponsored by Lockheed, Raytheon, and AIPAC

Then you responded:

This comment is sponsored by Russia, China, and Iran.

Then I said:

It must be the fault of foreigners right? Because no “true American” can be critical of our own country’s military industrial complex?

Then you had a memory wipe apparently and started writing paragraphs about something else instead of addressing anything that I wrote
