Related: About this forumHeres how Jill Stein helps Putin promote his right-wing agenda to the American left
<According to intelligence officials, RT also actively collaborated with WikiLeaks to peel away American leftists from Clinton, who Putin despises for challenging the fairness of Russian elections.
Stein, the Green Party candidate for president, was heavily promoted by RT during the election campaign and was invited to Moscow last year for the networks 10-year anniversary.
Its not clear who paid for her December 2015 trip, although a former British spy claims in the infamous golden showers memo that the Kremlin did so indirectly, but her campaign has refused to comment on the matter.
Stein sat at the same table as Putin during the event, along with Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Trumps pick for national security advisor, who has admitted he was paid by RT to attend.
Green Party officials in Europe were shocked that Stein seemed more opposed to Clinton than Trump, and one Swiss party official called her delusional.>

win the election. She is not a democrat and owes no loyalty to Clinton.
I don't agree with her at all and I hate how she helped in Hillary's loss.This is a non-story.

Her trip to Russia is huge red flag, as it has been for Flynn.

A democracy which values free speech cannot succeed if the the people do not not educate themselves to distinguish truth from fiction, emotion appeals from logical argument, or to recognize propaganda.
Candidates like Jill Stein exploit our weaknesses.

(30,481 posts)That has often been a problem with the Green Party in elections. It's all or nothing. She probably was trying to win. There are numerous ways she could have campaigned and made more progress for the greens.

(5,648 posts)- while at the same time claiming that she is championing democratic values. For shame - sitting at the same table with a dictator who controls the Russian press and has reduced Russian civil rights to shambles.
Can't the Green Party find someone better than a small town doctor with no management or political office experience who is obviously clueless to be their nominee?

(51,921 posts)administration. RT also excoriated CNN for running the Buzzfeed story. No mention of Comey's wrongdoing. Fox News has a formidable rival.
As for Jill Stein, Susan Sarandon and Cornel West, each one of them latches onto any lefty movement which will further their own ego driven, personal agenda.
