While Ms. Stein condemns both “zombie political parties” as tools of Wall Street and war profiteers, her campaign has focused largely on hammering Ms. Harris, blaming the White House she serves for relentless violence in Gaza and Lebanon.

And Democrats, as never before, are focused on Ms. Stein.

The party has prepared a negative ad blitz for the election’s final weeks, its first-such effort ever directed at a third-party candidate. Fearful that Ms. Stein might divert critical votes in places like Michigan, Democrats are also pressing their case on billboards plastered recently across swing states:

“Jill Stein Helped Trump Once. Don’t Let Her Do It Again.”

She dismisses the “spoiler mythology” that has come to define her mainstream identity, noting — accurately enough — that some of her supporters would never back Ms. Harris anyway.

She says that Democrats would do well to look inward, disputing that she bears any responsibility for Mr. Trump’s fortunes, then or now.

“Those conversations never go anywhere,” Ms. Stein, 74, said in a wide-ranging interview.

To draw votes away from the Democratic party nominee at the behest of her Russian donors. NBC News Link about the infamous dinner.

It's not even funny calling you people blue MAGA anymore. You're not different enough to warrant the modifier.

Where has Jill Stein been for the past four years? Do you think this is what politics is? Disappearing from public view (only popping up to dine with autocrats), only to show up when it's election time? Do you think this is how legitimate political parties operate?

Where's Kamala or Trump been? What's your point?

Absolutely deranged. "the news I read didn't give something page space therefore it doesn't exist"

Like I even give a shit about Stein and wasn't just making an observation about how your brain is broken with Rachel Maddow conspiracy theories.

Stein has already been cleared of colluding with Russia. Your image is ten years old.

The reason you might not be aware of this is the /Politics mods banning people who debunk it.

I dunno, I didn't exactly see a ton of value in those posts.

You're right, it was 2015, but as a simple layman I was aware of Russian meddling by the time this dinner happened. So if Jill and the Green party weren't aware of how bad this would look, and how worthless an olive branch to Putin would be, then at the very least they're too incompetent to be worth a vote. Unfortunately I did not know about this gaffe by the time of the election and even voted for Stein in that election, which I still regret.

I know, but what is she getting out of it?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Money and a chance for power, obviously.
