    You mean the same Jill Stein that was endorsed by former KKK leader, seems like a solid choice…

      I’m not a Jill Stein voter, but I dont think she can control who endorses her so it doesnt make a lot of sense holding that particular thing against her.

      Dick Cheney endorsed Kamala.

      Neither of these facts alone necessarily implicate the candidates. You really have to consider the context. Being endorsed by someone hardly means you keep their company.

      You were just so excited to use this talking point that you couldn’t be bothered to note that he was responding to it in the very comment you used it on.

        Wasn’t called out as the former KKK leader though. So excited to call me out you didn’t check.

          You formulated it as though you were bringing up something new: “you mean the same X who Y” is for introducing something new into the conversation in relation to X, with X here being Jill Stein. If you had just used David Duke as X and “who lead the KKK” as Y, it wouldn’t have been an absurd contribution.

          Though it would still be a silly one, since people know who David Duke is, it’s not some obscure fact. He’s the single most recognizable name in connection with the KKK, perhaps along with the long-dead D.W. Griffith (but probably not).

            Didn’t formulate it any way, that’s you assuming.

            Also assuming everyone knows who David Duke is. The general public isn’t clued in on KKK facts. I’m sensing a pattern.

              That’s me reading English. What I was referring to is a set phrase, but it’s not a fossilization, it’s still just what the words mean if you’re actively putting them together. God, this is such an annoying, pointless argument.

      I understand, you asked me who the anti-genocide groups were supporting, not a vetted list of everyone who has come out in favor of each third party.
