Zelenskyy stated that Russia has set 15 failed deadlines to capture Donetsk since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with the latest moved to Dec. 31.
I’m thinking some .ml users are actually communist Russians but has Nazi-like ultranationalist streak. I don’t remember the name of the group but there is a fringe Russian communist party although unabashedly xenophobic. That said, that kinda explains .ml’s imperialist and genocidal apologia when it’s Russia doing it.
Although on the one hand, they may not be Russian nationals but non-Russian vatniks who are compromised in one way or another. Even in the leftist circle there are prominent individuals like Sarah Wagenknecht who is socialist but cosies up to Russia. US Green Party leader Jill Stein kept dodging the question on whether she supports Putin or not. And she also only makes a national noise during US presidential elections to siphon off votes from Democrats, which helps Russia to divide Americans and allow pro-Russian elements to win.
True but if Jill Stein is serious, she should organise grassroots and make her party more appealing. Or, she should have tried to take over the Democrats from within, like Mamdani and Sanders are doing. Instead, she just shows up during presidential elections to siphon votes.
Do you have a source? I’ve tried to look it up. But the fact is that she was hesitant to call Putin war criminal when asked but three days later she changed her mind.
No there actually are some normal people on ml. I believe they joined by accident (the lemmy website tries to nudge people to join ml).
I made the mistake of joining thinking they were “my” kind of socialists.
They were not. They’re like if MAGA were genuinely pretending to be more left wing than communism.

democrats aren’t owed anyones vote, and there is no reason to believe someone who might vote for jill stein would vote for a democrat.

you should join the Greens and change the party from within
she explicitly called the invasion illegal.
I guess she has but she was hesitant to call Putin a war criminal when Mehdi Hasan asked her. It was only dats later she changed her tune.
Very fishy.
it was immediately after the invasion she said it was illegal.
