Presidential politics May 2 — Stein's semi-dubious big endorsement

Jill Stein has scored a semi-major endorsement, by Columbia prof Jeffrey Sachs. Important, given all the shit at Columbia in the past week or two. Am I voting for her? Still not. Let me know when she divests herself of her oily, bombed-up stock holdings. (That's not the only reason; some of the others are at the same link.) Hypocrisy alert on this issue? Stein got arrested at the Ivy League of St. Louis, Washington University, as part of a protest to get Boeing (owner of old St. Louis defense contractor McDonnell-Douglas) to divest from weapons for Israel. I'll have to look and see if Boeing is among her bombed-up stock holdings!

And, Sachs is at least some degree of China toady. Just like Howie Hawkins, along with Margaret Flowers and the late Kevin Zeese, as his national campaign handlers, were in 2020. And before that, along with Max Blumenthal, Aaron Maté, etc. Just like Stein is. It's another matter of concern. Actual leftists like Cory Doctorow have called bullshit on this, as has the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The Uyghur labor camps? All real. Links in that "were in 2020" piece.
