Absolutely, it’s concerning that Stein conflated mercury in fish with Thimerosal- which had a partially mercury based preservative in the past. And, yes, she thinks wifi could be harmful...which means she doesn’t realize that if playing a radio in the house wasn’t killing us, or reading with a lightbulb didn’t do us…

It’s too bad that Stein seems to be conflating the mercury in fish with thimerosal, which had a mercury based preservative.
And...saying that “there is not solid evidence that points to vaccines” is great. Until she pivots to straight out claiming that the FDA is corrupt. I have enough people in my FB feed saying that…

I’ve never heard anyone make the vague “I just want vaccines that are safer” argument who wasn’t arguing against using them.

You know who asks leading questions? People who believe that if they didn’t ask leading questions, their interviewee might say something stupid and regrettable. This is a softball interview that would embarrass Larry King.

Very much so. He and she both love tyrants.

Isn’t her running mate pro-Assad?

No, because Louisiana’s flood isn’t a widespread meme. She’s just trying to pander and hijack.

Harambe was the product of a gorilla breeding program that is trying to save his species. He wouldn’t even have existed without the efforts of zoos. To use his story to argue that zoos are automatically evil is asinine.

“One of the issues I used to work on was reducing mercury exposure. That was an issue at one point in vaccines. That’s been rectified.”

If she won’t tell the anti vax crowd they are full of shit, which she won’t, she has to wear the label. Her tweets on the subject are shit. And the idea that she’s not responsible because one of her staff did it indicates a complete lack of understanding about how leadership works.

But if a lion had been killed, that would be a big cat-astrophe.

Jill Stein is an asshole. She proves it every single time she says or writes something.

Dear Dr Stein,

Can we get just a huge, resounding ‘ugh’ for this woman? Is that a thing the internet can do collectively?

And Oh My God culture has not shifted THAT much on rape since 1996. We are not talking 1896 here.

I hate all this “new definition” of consent crap. Sex without consent has always been rape, it’s just that people are becoming more willing to acknowledge that now.

Being a woman in 2016 if very different, imagine being a woman 20 years ago, and when we talk about consent, maybe 20 years from now we’ll know things about consent and examine it from a different perspective than we are now.

I have really conflicted feelings about this because, on the one hand, fuck Nate Parker but on the other Nat Turner’s story is so important. There is obviously a part of me that wants this movie to fail because we shouldn’t support rapists but there’s also a part of me that wants this movie to succeed because maybe if…

Yeah, it’s like Polanski films. I am sure, as a film, the Pianist was well deserving of an Oscar, but I’m never going to find out, because all I could think about while I watched it is how the man who made it raped a young girl, got away with it, and doesn’t give a shit.

I’ve heard it’s a good movie.
