Where's your evidence for what you're accusing her of doing exactly?

Edit: And just to be clear, you're the one making the claim that she is somehow scheming with Putin. The onus is on you to prove that, not on Stein or anyone else to disprove that. Otherwise, anyone could accuse anyone else of anything and then the accused would have to disprove that. Literally makes no sense.

Having your photograph taken at the same table as someone else is damning evidence of an election conspiracy, apparently. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/06/jill-stein-says-nothing-happened-at-her-dinner-with-putin/

Casual lemm.ee-er here and please don't lump us into the China and Russia hating club. I'm pro China and also try to analyze the situation in Russia from a materialist perspective. We're not all weird anti-China/Russia reddit-pilled users, I just signed up with that instance when I was first discovering Lemmy and liked their generally "neutral" stance on defederating. There are dozens of us, dozens!

Criticizing Biden right now is not "working to get Trump". Biden could easily step down and get behind an alternative candidate. These things aren't black and white when we're still like 4-5 months out from the election.

Step 1 would be organizing and unionizing our workplaces (with a focus on strategic industries like food production, railways, construction... the stuff that really makes the gears turn). The next step would be aligning the collective bargaining contracts negotiated by those unions to expire at the same time. Solidarity strikes were made illegal in the US, so unions are only 'allowed' to strike against employers who employ their union members. The collective bargaining contract expiration dates would need to be far enough in the future to allow the union to build up a nice little strike fund, enough to pay each member a stipend to survive off of for a month or two. Then the unions and their members need to negotiate with each other and vote to decide on general strike demands to change the current system (my preference would be on revolutionary unionism to end capitalism and put industry in the hands of workers democratically, but you could also do things like change FPTP voting to something else, or really any demand you want to propose that you think could make our country better for us). Then when the contracts expire, the general strike begins. Unions issue their demands on behalf of the workers and the gears turn from there. The only real way to create fundamental change to the system is to use collective organizing and collective action. What I've said above is just one way to go about it and I think it's a pretty democratic way to do it, but there are definitely others (communist vanguard party, democratic socialism via electoral politics, etc.). The UAW is actually advocating for the general strike method and have set a date of May 1st, 2028 (international labor day) for other unions to align their contracts accordingly.

I'm done responding to you if you're going to keep insulting me. Have fun continuing to deny genocide.

Edit: I am going to leave this here though for anyone who happens to come across these replies. This outlines some of the genocidal intent evidence from Israeli officials and soldiers. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-south-africa-genocide-hate-speech-97a9e4a84a3a6bebeddfb80f8a030724

And here's a summary of the conclusions of a recent UN report regarding war crimes committed by both Israel and Hamas. https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/06/1150946

Biden is literally sending money and weapons to Israel, while also sending aid. It's hypocritical and dumb. You can't do both and act like you're doing the second one in good conscience.

The claims aren't colored by propaganda and misinformation... You can literally read the genocidal intent of Israeli government members and Knesset members. Some of them tweet it and say it out loud for the world to witness.

Just because they're capable of doing genocide "better" doesn't mean they aren't doing it. That's not an argument to say the thing we're literally watching them do isn't happening.

I think that your priorities are fucked if you care more about preserving this country's relationship with an apartheid state than stopping a genocide by said apartheid state.

Also, quit implying that my comments are right wing or Russian just because they have opinions that don't align with yours. That's such a tired trope. I could imply the same of you, but I'm choosing to engage in good faith.

Biden is complicit in genocide, so much so that he should be tried in court with the rest of the people in the Israeli state. You can't get much more complicit than sending weapons and aid to an apartheid state that is carrying out a genocide, without which they would not be able to carry out said genocide as effectively. A good president would divest and sanction Israel, not write a blank check for their crimes against humanity.
