But the whole point is that they are here “legally”, so Vance is just telling more lies and is going to get people hurt or killed.
My fingers are crossed that he and Trump lose and the voters of Ohio turn on him, and then we never have to hear from him again.

Oh, you’re one of those. Figures.
You mentioned donations, not me.
So no thoughts on perennial sorta kinda candidate Stein making the Green Party a laughingstock then? Or the fact that with her campaign only surviving with the help of GOP operatives and Russian propaganda campaigns, she’s actually making it harder to take third party candidates seriously at any level of government?
Not true when it comes to Congressional races. I did a post a couple days ago about a bill that three Dems just introduced https://lemmy.world/post/19772020
I would suggest you do your own research, but she’s run several times, has no real experience or qualifications, and has been shown multiple times to be benefiting (either knowingly or unknowingly) from both GOP operatives and Russian interference.
Personally I fully support third parties - if they do more than just show up as spoilers every four years. Jill Stein has been doing zilch to push the Green Party forward except in presidential election years. And as a result she’s doing more harm to folks who want more options than not.
Yeah, to be relevant they need to win some elections in large cities and state legislatures. That would be the base necessary to start winning congressional seats and then work up from there. Because the Jill Stein narcissism tour every four years is clearly doing more harm than good.
And it would be the best thing in the world for the Dems. They need cogent and real opposition and right now they’re just running against crazies - which is important, but doesn’t do much for establishing an agenda. A functional Green Party would actually help pull the Dems back more to the left.
I did this while it was a pilot program. Extremely easy and the fastest processing I’ve ever had on a passport renewal.
1·1 day agoAh, that makes sense. Didn’t see it because it was a crosspost and my client (Voyager) left that out of the description.
The source for the bot’s info is Media Bias Fact Check, which is separate from Ground News. The admins added the Ground News link because users wanted additional sources and mentioned that one I believe.
I think the bigger question is why it bothered with Internet Archive, since that wasn’t mentioned in the original post, or did I miss something?
9·3 days ago“Please do not link to this draft as it is unfinished and the URL will change upon publication.”
This is still in draft, unfinished, and they specifically asked people not link to it yet. Probably better to wait until the report is final
Thank goodness - I thought maybe I was the only one who saw that!
24·4 days agoIt’s not. Should be “paid” in this case.
Yahoo News is an aggregator, so difficult to gauge. The source of this particular article is a site called semafor.com.
I’d never heard of it before so looked into it - Check out the section on China https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semafor_(website)
Too true. I have however noted to the admins/makers of the bot that links like this (also the New York Times and others) often include “/opinion/“ in the URL so it should be fairly straightforward and easy to at least address those. Low hanging fruit and all that.
Pretty sure they’re referring to individual donations where those companies are the employer.
