The Green Party leader has hired a GOP consulting firm and worked with Trump-affiliated lawyers.

    I’m sure the usual suspects will be along shortly to explain how this isn’t what it absolutely, positively is.

      “Anything to beat the ‘duopoly’ of political parties, even if the party is tainted by neo-fascist dark money!”

      Absolutely wild mental gymnastics lol

      Probably at the stage where it turns into ‘it doesn’t matter since she won’t win anyway, this is just a protest vote to show support for third party.’

              If you go cast your vote at the polls and you’re so braindead that you can’t fathom another third-party candidate is running without being a Russian agent in disguise, and you’re so scared that your candidate that you’ve convinced yourself is a perfect deity still might lose to a lunatic, then maybe you should re-evaluate why it is that people no longer trust Democrats blindly like you think they should.

                The only reason she loses is cause the peasants didn’t know what was good for the economy.

                  And what about the huge group of people who care more about morals than money? Just fuck them? Oh no, I forgot, they are Russians right?

                  Do you really not see how your intolerance is exactly the same as republicans? You know you can vote democrat and still criticize them too right?

                    People do not like to be “nitpicked” it makes them feel bad so then they get to lash out and hurt others because they were “hurt” by being asked to correct or better themselves.
                    And then everyone applauds their bravery for standing up for themselves cause they want to be the bullies too. And it’s easy to regard the people being told off as lesser or not people.

            Let he who hasn’t dined at the same table as Putin cast the first stone.

            What do you mean that’s everyone but Jill?

                Quoting verbatim from a previous comment of mine because it’s literally not worth my time to come up with something original to the same exact stupid, worthless argument:

                Third-party fringe candidate who gets less than 1% of the vote having dinner with Putin, Trump’s national security advisor who was later arrested for lying to the FBI about his ties to Russia, and several major Russian political figures before an election in which Russian interference provably helped Trump win.

                The US president acting in an official capacity and meeting with the leader of a major world power.

                “They’re the same picture.”

                Boy, Russian bots Jill Stein stans are really tripping over each other to see who’s the biggest, dumbest idiot, aren’t they?

                  You mean the same investigation that found no evidence that Jill Stein was working with Russia? Let me guess, in your mind she’s so deep and undercover that it is more about a feeling than needing any evidence at all.

                  Almost as convincing as you calling a US citizen in Washington state a Chinese Government agent. Maybe if you want to be taken seriously in the future, actually provide some facts or say something productive.

                    I didn’t call you anything, I just mocked your attempt at a PeeWee Herman defense. Maybe if you want to be taken seriously in the future you should learn how screen names work so you don’t embarrass yourself.
