and has refused to turn over documents. http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/343292-jill-stein-looped-into-widening-investigation-of-russia-and-trump-jr
Mueller may well be investigating her too. Whether she is refusing to turn over documents to protect herself or Don Jr., I don't know. Neither scenario is good.
There isn't anything wrong with Stein running for office, anymore than there is for Trump to run as a Republican. What's wrong is colluding in an effort to subvert American democracy.
Your defense of your previous claim doesn't hold water. I didn't say Ryan was progressive. At the time I said he was a right-winger, but his record opposing reproductive rights wasn't a concern for those who insist "progressive" excludes any concern for the majority of the population. He is white, male and had a "fresh face," which was enough for them. I dealt explicitly with your "I don't know any" point. You didn't provide a list of your associates for me to check against. I can only go based on what i read and how those people describe themselves, and I provided links to back up what I said.
This is the interchange in question:
You:
bought his schtick then nor are they surprised now. I get that you don't care for progressives--as is your right--but at least go after them for things they actually do. It makes you more credible. Just a suggestion of course.

And the links I provided in response:

You insisted that progressives did not support Ryan. I provided evidence they did.
You don't seem to want to engage with evidence, and I provide it often, so I can understand why you wouldn't want to engage with me.
