In reply to the discussion: Fuck Jill Stein [View all]sheshe2
(84,060 posts)117. Seems the Green Party does not agree with her.
Indeed, at this point, offering to send any funds to Stein would appear to be money down the drain for Moscow. By all appearance, Stein seemed more than willing to spout Kremlin talking points at every turn and all, it appears, for free.
To be sure, Stein received a wealth of support from the Kremlin propaganda channel RT. Not only was her campaign, as NBC noted, heavily promoted by RT, but she opted to participate in the 2016 Green Party presidential debate, broadcast on RT. Where other Green Party candidates boycotted the debate because it was hosted on a Russian propaganda channel one candidate described it as the worst kind of representation of what the Green Party should be Stein instead lauded the hosts, describing the debate on RT as a step towards real democracy and an inspiration for millions of Americans.
Of course, Steins most prominent moment during the presidential campaign came via RT and through an intersection of the Trump campaigns relationship with Russia. In late 2015, Stein memorably joined Michael Flynn who recently pled guilty for lying about his interactions with Russian officials and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow at a gala celebrating the ten-year anniversary of RT. Stein later described the attendant RT conference as inspiring.
Stein also shared the conference billing with Julian Assange whom Stein in 2016 hailed as a hero in my book, and who, remarkably, even made a speaking appearance at the Green Partys convention.
Steins visit to Moscow, along with her other odd views, sent ripples of condemnation throughout Green Party and environmentalist circles in Russia and Europe. A pair of Russian environmental activists blasted Stein publicly, saying they were shocked by the position [she] expressed during [her] visit in Moscow. Or as Balthasar Glättli, a Swiss Green Party member, said, Some of the points that Jill Stein makes are delusional, I have to say.

Jill sure is loving Russia....seems to me the Green Party does NOT AGREE WITH HER.

Never a fan of Stein's, who always seemed smug and less than "grounded" to me.

Why was she at a table in Russia with Putin & Flynn? The stupidity/"I don't recall" defense is BS.
