...she (Jill Stein) says "homeland," not "Poland" (and the guy behind her repeats "homeland").

Noted on another thread that she says "homeland," not "Poland" (and the guy behind her repeats "homeland" ). The less interesting point here - everybody uses these AI auto-captions now and they get stuff wrong. (The fact that this is Stein's own video is "proof" she said Poland.)


So, yes, it's Stein's fault that she uploaded a video with these captions that changed her word into "Poland" - check your stuff before you share it with everybody!

But "Poland" has a "P" in it, she didn't say that in the clip,

of Jill Stein from eight years ago when a lot of people couldn't see the future. I was a huge Hilary fan but even I can understand that.

It's clear. The guy behind says "homeland" but she says "Poland".
And why are we defending the Russian agent who cost Hillary her presidency?

and no "P" or "L".

And do you really think she'd start bring Poland into it like that?

As the tweeter says, it was stupid of her to use captions and not check them.

As to why she'd bring it up - I can't say why Russian agents say what they do. Or why DU'ers would be defending her for that matter.

Also, this is a good example of the dangers of AI and misinformation.

No one here is defending her. We are correcting a mistake.

The OP of the original, large, long thread pulled it, as it was in error. Hats off to them for doing that. Many debunked OPs are left up despite being proven false.
