Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke has endorsed Green Party nominee Jill Stein over former President Donald Trump, though Stein has rebuked the endorsement.
Duke acknowledged that his endorsement of the far-left candidate would “shock” his supporters, but said that his decision was based on what is “good for white people, Europeans, as well as all humanity.”
Being progressive and wrong is the same as not being progressive. Drag has known people who said things like “I respect transsexuals’ right to crossdress, but biology says it’s impossible.” That’s not true, biology does support the existence of trans people. Those people drag knew tried to be progressive, but they failed because they didn’t have the right knowledge. They should have spent more time learning so they could be progressive correctly. Their wrongness made them reactionary.
Being wrong about the mathematics of voting systems can also mean failing to be progressive, even with the best intentions. Jill Stein doesn’t have good intentions, but some of her voters do. It’s just that the Stein voters with good intentions have bad maths.
