      What happened with her? She seemed okay when she was running a few elections ago and had some support, but then went a bit off and I stopped following her.

                  I didn’t. I refuted it with just as strong a claim as they made. if you think you can get them to provide a source, go for it. I happen to know it’s untrue, so I don’t care to bicker with them about it.

                    I mean…. She did go to a gala celebrating the 10th anniversary of Russia Today, which is state controlled propaganda.

          Source: your ass

          All you liberals have is a picture of her at a table with Putin as if Democrats you vote for haven’t sat at a table with Putin before

            It’s a well-established fact that a part of her social media campaign was funded by the Russians.

            To be clear: I’m not saying she necessarily did all this in cahoots with Putin. Russia funded divisive ads that boosted Sanders too. Regardless, Sanders quit the race whilst Stein did not. That means she acted as a spoiler candidate, where a vote for her means it’s more likely that a republican candidate wins instead, instead of the democrat candidate that a green voter is likely more aligned with. It’s an unfortunate effect of the two-party system. Nonetheless, those effects are well-known and Stein had a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected. She knew this, but decided to remain on the ballot anyway. Her candidacy therefore did help Trump win the election.

              i can do this too!

              Sanders quit the race whilst Clinton did not. That means she acted as a spoiler candidate, where a vote for her means it’s more likely that a republican candidate wins instead, instead of the green candidate that a democrat voter is likely more aligned with.

            as if Democrats you vote for haven’t sat at a table with Putin before

            For example?
