2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSwill Stein and the fever-swamp of the left on CNN town hall "highlights"
Q: How will you get into the debates? The lawsuit you filed in court was full of fail.
A: "We'll win in the court of public opinion." blah blah blah blah
Q: Donald and Hillary are getting briefings, do you think Hillary should get classified briefings?
A: Hillary is "Too big to jail" Hillary is evil, she's a billionaire like Trump but worse than Trump. Hillary shouldn't have her finger on the button. If you don't like Trump vote for me.
CNN does not ask about the loose-lipped talking yam's capacity to keep his trap shut, and Comrade Stein says NOTHING bad said about Trump in her answer.
Q: To Baraka, Trump shook up his campaign today and there are concerns he will be running a "scorched Earth" campaign - you are no stranger to heated rhetoric yourself - are you concerned about what this campaign may descend into?
A: The dark forces Trump has been appealing to are going to give us trouble even after the campaign. A whole bunch of blah, blah blah about we are going to "create a new social justice order."
Q: You talk about Donald Trump spreading negativity and how you will fight this with a positive message, but you have referred to President Barack Obama in some very ugly ways; how do you square that?
A: "You have to call it as you see it, you have to speak truth to power." He was unprepared, neoliberal, blah blah. "I have to call it like I see it."
Q: That's one thing - but you called him an UNCLE TOM.
A: Well, I made that statement in a "specialized audience" that understood what I was saying. You need to understand the context.
Q: Is there any good context?
A: No but there's no good Uncle Tom either. I wanted to show how he was actually just a vehicle for displaced white power and shock people to look at him. "I stand by it." Comrade Stein just beams with pride as this asshole calls our President, "Uncle Tom." Fuck you too, Jilly.
Q: To Comrade Stein - you were able to look past this? It didn't bother you?
A: Blah blah blah, he's very inspirational, I've never heard him use derogatory language. Winky winky.
Q: From Bernie supporter leaning Hillary - what would you say to people like me?
A: Thank you, blah blah blah. "You've learned you can't have a revolutionary campaign in a counter-revolutionary party. Bernie did everything right, but the playing field was unfairly tilted against you." blah blah voting irregularities, Hillary cheated, she's evil. Accuses Hillary campaign of illegal collaboration with DNC, says Bernie was denied having any part of the platform and relegated to a low profile at the convention.
Now - keep in mind, Comrade Jill just got done telling us that "Bernie did everything right" as her VP (haha) answers the next question.
Q: Cuomo to Baraka - You have called Senator Sanders was an "ideological prop" and his campaign supported "white supremacy" what did you mean by that?
A: I wanted to "feel the Bern" but I was troubled because he was only looking at the United States of America. He wasn't progressive enough.
Q: Cuomo calls him out - you didn't have to hit him over the head with calling him a "white supremacist"
A: Some people call us purists but Bernie Sanders was "privileging white life in the US" and that's not progressive enough. Saudi's are killing brown people.
Q From person leaning Hillary to Comrade Stein: You said you oppose US military actions overseas. Do you consider ISIS a threat, and if so, what would you do differently than PBO is doing now?
A: du du du st st st, uh uh - So rules of engagement, to attack a country you need to be under a threat - clearly that isn't met, ISIS is not about to attack the US. We have a track record that isn't looking good. We are calling for a "peace offensive" - we are supplying almost all the weapons to terrorists so we will just stop giving them weapons. Unicorns, rainbows, lollipops. Pay not attention to all those Kalashnikov's you see over there. Everything is the fault of the US.
Q: From Cuomo: Let's be clear, you've called for the military to be cut by 50% and shut down all foreign bases, are you saying that NO military presence anywhere else in the world would make our country more safe?
A: Puppies, kittens. rainbows. We'll just shut down all our weapons programs.
A: From Baraka - Obama is just like Bush. Again, fuck you Baraka.
Q: From undecided voter - Tell me about your faith. Do you believe in God, what was your journey?
A: I was actually a very religious person, I'm in a mixed family, I don't practice a formal religion, spiritual, faith in people blah blah blah. Comrade Stein does not have enough courage to answer if she believes in God.
Q: From pediatrician; "I do not allow unvaccinated children or parents who want to delay vaccination into my practice." You seem evasive about the schedule, etc.
A: That was "taken out of context" when I was practicing there were "legitimate questions" about mercury (no, there were not) and it's just a big distraction because everybody's against me. I'm not against science. Buy my books. Download my books.
Q: From delusional Democrat who repeats Comrade Stein's tweet saying Hillary is not a feminist because she is a "warmonger." Can you tell me what kind of feminist you are, Comrade Stein?
A: Oh THANK YOU, so much! "In my view, it takes a village to raise a child." . . . at the fucking nerve . . . "I have a special vision for women that we are the caretakers of children, of our parents, of our communities, there's something about us that just wants to take care of people. To me that is the height of feminism." Hillary destroyed welfare. Hillary is responsible for the housing crash and she kills children because she's a warmonger.
Q: From Bernie supporter leaning Hillary. We all remember Nader, if your candidacy results in PDT, how will you sleep at night?
A: I will have trouble sleeping if Trump is elected, I will also have trouble sleeping at night with Hillary elected. Donald says bad things but Hillary is worse than Donald Trump. (fuck you Comrade Stein) Donald says bad things about brown people but Hillary kills them. Obama deported some people. I think Hillary might nuke Syria. Then, without a HINT of irony, she starts railing about "the politics of fear." Repeats, Donald's words bad, Hillary worse. Vote for me like your life depends on it, because it does.
Q: From Bernie supporter leaning Hillary - Can you actually win?
A: It's not possible for collective "us" to win with corrupt parties, only our campaign will cancel all your debts. Birth rates are down because we don't have any future. We need more babies. We'll cancel all your debts. Keeps coughing, looks a little nutz.
Q: Cuomo: How the eff do you plan to cancel everyone's student debts. What about congress?
A: We'll find a way. No plan at all outlined. Just like Trump, Stein essentially says "I'll just do it." Cuomo pushes further, you need to have some kind of plan for something that big. Stein goes on; "It was easy for banks to pay back for the bailout." Federal Reserve will buy debt and declare it null and void. With what? pa dup pa dup pa dup flounder flounder obviously doesn't know what she is talking about.
A: From Baraka - Quantitative easing is the creation of money so we'll just create money. See?
Q: Sounds nice but prolly not, please explain.
A: From Comrade Stein - We'll just owe that money to ourselves.
Q: From undecided voter: Why are you calling for a boycott of Israel? Why single them out? Lots of countries have problems why not target them too?
A: Well great news! That IS what we are doing. We're going to turn the White House into a GREEN House (ha ha that's SO clever! ) and then we will boycott everyone who isn't perfect! Neato!
Q: From Cuomo - Israel is not Saudi Arabia, do you recognize Israel as an ally?
A: I have Jewish ancestry, mish-mash blah blah. All the world is special. Non-answer.
Q: From Stein voter - BLM, what do you think the role of the federal govt should be in bringing to justice police who kill citizens?
A: This is the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow and now police violence. Every community will have a civilian review board and every single death will be investigated. We will also have a "truth and reconciliation commission because AA's have 5c on the dollar compared to white people. With our truth and reconciliation commission we're going to share stories music and art.
Q from Cuomo: I've read your writing, you seem to say right now that this problem begins and ends with just policing, but when you look at policing, it is a small percentage, doesn't that ignore good policing that happens and some of the other systemic issues that are part of a bigger picture?
A: Systemic oppression, there are no good police, there is no big picture.
I'm out. Couldn't listen any more. What a couple of shit-wits. Goofiest fucking assholes I've seen in years. Vladimir Putin and RT need to invest more time into prepping his election tools, these two were a complete fail.

(81,220 posts)That was my impression when I could concentrate on trying to comprehend what she was saying. Such a word salad I have not heard since Sarah Palin was in her prime! Saw her interviewed by Maria Bartiromo, and I had to bail out halfway through. Couldn't take another minute of this ding-dong and her simplistic, utterly out-to-lunch-AND-dinner solution "all we need to do is cancel the debt, and then we'll have the economy of our dreams!" Whee! And puppies and kittens and gumdrops! My eyes started crossing while trying to make some sense out of her. She's almost literally on the moon.

Thanks for your heroic contribution to your squad, Maru.
