Jill Stein not knowing

That's not the takeaway any honest person would have from seeing Stein trying to explain her policy platform and her theory of change only for former CBC employee and paid Democrat shill Angela Rye to talk over her and start yelling about rapid fire popcorn trivia questions.

 

Let alone Stein's answer that there were up to but no more than 600 total members in all of Congress was largely accurate and relevant to the question Rye first asked about how Stein would promote her policies before being interrupted. You can even see Stein "huh?" when Rye starts obnoxiously asking trivia because it makes no sense in the conversation. 

 

Stein was explaining she would utilize the executive powers of the presidency to halt all weapons shipments to Israel on Day 1 - something she can do - while then using that as leverage to force members of Congress to negotiate with her. 

 

Why doesn't someone who once interned and worked in the office of a Democrat like Maxine Waters understand how the unique powers of the executive office work?

It IS the takeaway. She fully thought there were 600 representatives in the House. There are elementary school students who will be taught this year what the number is

 

You trying to rewrite what actually happened isn't going to change anything. The direct quote was "How many voting members in the United States House of Representatives? (Republican, Democrat and Independent). How many total?" To which Dr Stein says "How many total are there? 600 some?"

 

Angela quite literally asked about the House and the vastly unprepared, unqualified and unserious Jill Stein answered incorrectly. And this is the person you want to have access to nuclear codes and to deal with foreign leaders  

 

Like I said.. unserious

I'm sorry but this is embarrassing because it reveals you didn't actually watch the interview. Because Stein's answer of 600 is literally followed up by mentioning she's referencing all members of Congress and including 100 members of the Senate. So even in this claim you don't actually know what was said because your only engagement in it is twitter memes. And we are meant to think Stein is the uneducated one?

 

Like please have some self-awareness:

How many total

Why does Angela Rye think the commander in chief needs authority from Congress to make executive decisions over the military?

435 + 100 =/= 600  It doesn't even round to 600 

 

Angela's question was pretty straight forward. And Jill Stein could not answer 

 

She has no business being president and thankfully she is getting ready to embarrass herself yet again

 

2012: 0.2% 

2016: 1.1%
 

She will be somewhere between those numbers in November because almost everyone who knows who she is knows she is unqualified, unprepared and unserious

The question you're being asked is straight forward and you now 3 replies later still remain unable to answer it. 

 

Again:

Social media is largely lashing Rye and her past clips of dismissing economic issues as of importance to black voters due to her own economic comfort are now being unearthed and spread by subsets of Twitter she's had beef with:

 

 

I'll let her have to undo her own mess she's now entangled herself in with ADOS twitter because such is really not my concern or lane (and even as someone white I am aware enough that many ADOS profiles online can have a conservative streak and aren't themselves a meaningful cudgel against Rye and the point being made is more so the videos being shared of her being willing to pivot against whatever issue arises and presents problems for the Dems in the past, whether it being spreading Russiagate propaganda or dismissing economics as an issue) - but it becomes a concern to everyone when Rye's credentials are brought back up and forces us to reconcile that she's knowingly lying or pushing DNC talking points. Why is someone who staffed for the committee on homeland security talking about the makeup of Congress when a candidate is talking about executive action they believe need to be done with the military? Huh?

 

Let alone your own inability to address the question above proves the point and reflects why what Rye did was pointless. 

 

She interrupted Stein explaining her foreign policy plan and what actual real things she factually can do within the executive office to do a round of trivia in hopes of getting a gotcha and being able to dismiss Stein as a person 

 

Not understanding that Harris is bleeding Arab and Muslim voters not because of lacking some skill as a person. Harris herself has been routinely framed as an idiot for 4 years. Half this thread 2 pages ago was roasting her blowing an interview by talking in circles. But that wouldn't matter to Muslim voters if Harris simply stopped supporting the mass slaughter and rape of Palestinian children:

Quote

 

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein clarified her position on Syria as "anti-interventionist" in a discussion for an upcoming episode of Middle East Eye's podcast Unapologetic.

 

"We have never taken a position in support of Bashar al-Assad. We are against intervention because intervention has all sorts of unintended consequences, which are very long-lasting and tend to make things worse," the 74-year-old former physician said.

 

"[Assad is] a dictator with a long record of human rights abuses. And we very strongly support the sovereignty, the autonomy and the human rights of the Syrian people and their right to determine their future," she added.

 

In 2015, ahead of her second presidential run, Stein's campaign website urged then-president Barack Obama to stay out of Syria as the Islamic State (IS) militant group gained ground.

 

"The US should be working with Syria, Russia, and Iran to restore all of Syria to control by the government rather than jihadi rebels," the statement said.

 

The suggestion that all of Syria should return to Assad's control after tens of thousands had been displaced, tortured, or killed caused outrage among many Syrian-Americans and their allies. 

 

That statement was later removed from the website.

 

Just weeks before the 2016 election, Stein tweeted a map of Syria with two superimposed gas pipeline paths - a Russia-backed route from Iran, and a US-backed route from Turkey. 

 

"This explains so much," she wrote alongside the map, suggesting that the war in Syria - ignited by a people's uprising in 2011 - was a foreign-backed project to exploit the country's resources. 

 

Assad has long tried to discredit protest movements against his rule by claiming they are financed and encouraged by foreign actors. 

 

This is Stein's third time running for president. Polling conducted late last month among Muslim-American voters showed her leading in three battleground states: Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In 2016, she received a little over one percent of the overall vote - her highest share yet.

Oh, then I assume that she must be against Russia's invasion of Ukraine as well!

 

God, let this election end the careers of both abhorrent grifters Trump and Jill Stain

 Those you govpolls legit make me so sad. As someone who is obsessed with wanting to know how things work and the truth I just can't imagine being like that. So cult-like it's scary. I imagine these people never had a proper education and want to feel smart by believing in some wider conspiracy to look educated. And I don't even mean education by school, just like, a proper person to be there to educate them on life, I imagine a lot of these people were either abandoned by their parents or abused.
