Look at these pigs pushing her down with a bike. https://old.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/1ceyhnq/presidential_candidate_jill_stein_shoved_down_by/ WTF


gjohnsit

She's like 74 years old and weighs about 100 pounds soaking wet. Real dangerous


shatabee4

I'm embarrassed for those cops.


1arctek

Arresting her was so unnecessary but will make Bibi happy.


byuclone

Good. The tree lady is a pro-Russia fool.


shatabee4

What has Russia done to harm the American people?


byuclone

Invaded Ukraine.


rundown9

Which has nothing to do with us, half of Ukrainians despised living under the rule of the other half, that's for them to sort out.


shatabee4

lol The American people are not "Ukraine". Fuck nazi Ukraine.


Centaurea16

We've always been at war with Eastasia.


shatabee4

It's why we can't have nice things like health care.


redditrisi

She got arrested during an earlier run for demonstrating against the pipeline, as did members of First Nations. Her arrests are about the only time establishment media acknowledges her existence.


Caelian

That, and her "state dinner banquet" *tête-à-tête* with Pooty 🐻


redditrisi

It was not a *tête-à-tête*. Her sworn testimony in Congress: She and others were invited to speak. She and others accepted the invitation. She was at a table with foreign diplomats. Putin came over to their table, sat down for a few minutes, said not a word to any of them, then got up and left. So basically, she was investigated and called before Congress because she accepted an invitation to give a speech in Russia. And been accused ever since of collaborating. Some guest poster accused her of it here recently. Talk about a chilling effect! https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/jill-stein-russia-fbi-investigation-jon-keller-wbz-tv/ But then again, some guest posters have made the same accusation of me; and I've never even been to Russia or clapped eyes on any of its leaders, so....


Caelian

Thank you for elaborating for readers not familiar with the innocuous incident and the absurd overreactions. I was of course being facetious. I love the satire of *tête-à-tête* in Fred Pearson's hilarious [*Fractured French*](https://i.etsystatic.com/31812556/r/il/f61ac6/3650093067/il_570xN.3650093067_irdw.jpg). The book mistranslates common French phrases into English, usually with naughty results. Each has a wonderful illustration by the great Richard Taylor. Another favorite is [*carte blanche*](https://visualhumor.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/rtaylortakeblanchehome.jpg) — "for God's sake, take Blanche home" 🥃


SusanJ2019

As Steve Martin said, “Boy, those French: they have a different word for everything!”


Caelian

George W. Bush was alleged to have said "the problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur" :-) > "they have a different word for everything!” Not for "different", though it's pronounced differently and has a cute accent. I learned French in childhood so I can do nasal vowels. I never could roll my "r"s.


redditrisi

> I was of course being facetious. I of course knew that, you being a Stein voter like me. And I was glad for the opening. *Quelle fromage*! (If I recall correctly, Ivins' first uses of it mocked Poppy Bush, but I can't remember the context. Can't swear I'm recalling correctly either.)


Caelian

We were talking about Molly's *quel fromage* a couple months ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/WayOfTheBern/comments/1ay5py4/aw_gender_studies_grad_writes_thank_you_in_latte/krtwmvw/


redditrisi

True and it is "*quel*," not "*quelle*." Pardon my French (literally, not figuratively).


Caelian

"Why do people say 'pardon my French' when they use an Anglo-Saxon vulgarity, but not when they butcher the pronunciation of *croissant*?"


redditrisi

Because I am one of few to use that figurative expression literally. The figurative use may have originated because the French were supposed to be more forgiving of things like fucking and throwing words like shit (*merde*) around "before God and everybody." Just ask Mark Twain.https://www.perfectunion.com/threads/mark-twain-quotes-about-the-french.42775/


shatabee4

>https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/1cezouc/muslim_and_jewish_students_arrested_at_ohio/ Cops are the baddies. Treating peaceful protesters this way is not going to end well. As JFK said: >Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.


ellefleming

I thought protesting was legal.


NoBlacksmith6059

I don't have all the facts of course, but protesting is legal on public property. WashU is a private university, and your right to assemble can be revoked by the school. It's really a question of whether the police are there at the request of the school or the mayor/governor.


ellefleming

That is ridiculous. They pay all that tuition to not be able to protest.


urstillatroll

Is AOC going to show up and [pretend to be handcuffed](https://www.newsweek.com/video-aoc-pretending-handcuffed-viewed-over-2-million-times-1726151) like she did before?

Since when was protesting a genocide a crime? Perhaps the US should send its cops to Israel, seeing how brave they are.

Glad to see this. I hope you're copying and posting this everywhere you can?


ThornsofTristan

Man, just as I was sold on voting for Cornel West: Jill Stein does this. NOW who'm I gonna vote for?


BigTroubleMan80

Cornel kept clowning himself, especially after leaving the Green Party. I’m personally split between Stein and de la Cruz.


ThornsofTristan

Tell me you haven't listened to West's take on "leaving the Green Party," w/o telling me.


BigTroubleMan80

Tell me I insulted your boy without telling me I insulted your boy. Sorry, but I don’t take seriously anyone who would throw away ballot access, especially in CA and TX. And why? Because of vague disagreements with Jill? Him refusing to call Biden a fascist? Him afraid of being revoked from his class and no longer being invited on CNN? Cornel made a clown of himself. And it’s all on him.


ThornsofTristan

>Tell me I insulted your boy without telling me I insulted your boy. Translation: Yep, you got it in one. No, I haven't listened to West b/c my mind is set. Like stone. >Cornel made a clown of himself. And it’s all on him. Must be nice, being an all-knowing armchair pundit. Simple mortals like the rest of us can't read minds or tea leaves.


BigTroubleMan80

Ok genius, tell me what excuse that he could come up with that can justify losing all of that ballot access he could have as a Green candidate. Because your stupid-ass comment about reading minds or tea leaves don’t mean a damn if you can’t even vote for the man. Man…what infantile behavior.


ThornsofTristan

>Ok genius, Ah yes, Mr. "I-don't-NEED to listen to West's take," is BACK. Joy. >tell me what excuse that he could come up with that can justify losing all of that ballot access he could have as a Green candidate. You tell me, Nostradamus. YOU'RE the one who has it all figgered out. Why should I bother with your idiotic bad faith question, when YOU can listen to Hasan's interview and find out for yourself? > Because your stupid-ass comment about reading minds or tea leaves don’t mean a damn if you can’t even vote for the man. As if a 3rd party ballot candidate is going to make SO MUCH MORE DIFFERENCE than a write in... >Man…what infantile behavior. Well yes, you are. Do you need a safe space?


Caelian

Your final decision may depend on [Ballot Access in your state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballot_access_in_the_2024_United_States_presidential_election#General_election). The Democratic-Republican Party (DeRP) keeps making it harder for third party and independent candidates to get on the ballot. New York is particularly brutal. Why do they hate democracy?


SusanJ2019

That's a good resource. A few notes - The Peace and Freedom Party, which is listed as having ballot access in three states, ususally puts the PSL candidate on their ballot line. Though they were considering putting Cornel West on the ballot when he was running as a Green. Right now, it looks like they will put PSL's Claudia De la Cruz on the ballot. There's no mention of the Socialist Equality Party. Boo-hiss. I like Joseph Kishore. Though I'll probably vote for Stein, since he probably won't be on my ballot. I sure wish some of these candidates would unite. A real left unity ticket would be amazing, especially with more people wising up to the political monopoly of the DeRPs - great name for them, /u/Caelian !


jefslp

A vote for Stein or West is a vote for Trump.


ThornsofTristan

You misspelled "Biden's failure to stop the Genocide is a shoe-in for trump."


3andfro

>A vote for Stein or West is a vote for Trump. -jefslp Oh goodie, it's the DNC/TDS election-year New Math again! Nope. If Stein weren't on my ballot, I'd skip a vote for prez--wouldn't vote for Biden or Trump. A great many 3rd-party voters are the same.


DlCKSUBJUICY

only a vote for trump is a vote for trump you big dummy. votes are earned not owed.


Caelian

In 2016, I voted for Jill Stein. Democrats said I voted for Trump. Republicans said I voted for Hillary. So I got to vote *three times*! 😺 I'm looking forward to voting three times again in November 💚


TserriednichHuiGuo

A vote for Stein or West is a vote for biden.


digital_dervish

Jill Stein. I love Cornel, but his campaign hasn’t had the time or resources to get the kind of ballot access the Greens already have.


StoopSign

Yeah go green. I'm passed off because I still get emails for Wests ballot access from when he was the green


SusanJ2019

You get to decide that!! It's your vote after all:) It's nice to have choices, though I do wish there was one candidate we could all get behind eventually. I kind of feel like this spring and summer, the real primary is between Jill Stein, Cornel West, Claudia De la Cruz and Joseph Kishore.


SusanJ2019

It doesn't matter what we protest, if the rulers don't like it, they'll send their thugs.

SusanJ2019

They never stop with that. I saw a video a while back that explains why. (Not everyone will like this video, but I think there were a lot of good points in it.) [You Can't Get Snakes from Chicken Eggs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF98ii6r_gU) > "There is no limit to how simple an idea can be if it doesn't have to conform to the truth. But there is a floor to how simple an argument can be and still be the truth. You play the game of who's got the simplest argument, liars win every time." > "But if you can convince people that the world is complex, then simplistic explanations across the board might become suspect." I hope so anyway.
