Interesting.
It seems the Russia Smears are the main reason for your disdain towards Jill Stein.
I don't agree with your views, but thanks for sharing them.
"Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate." -- John F. Kennedy
My distain for Jill stems from her complicity in being a spoiler pawn, and mostly spouting nonsense. Nearly all of her attack rhetoric was aimed at the Democratic party; she said relatively little and the Republicans and consistently went after Democrats, just like a good asset would. Her messaging was overwhelmingly negative, and she associated with all of the worst people. I haven't seen her do anything productive or positive. The fact that her campaign received significant funding from Russian-backed organizations is incidental; it only explains what she really stands for. I'm opposed to all external financial influence in US politics, whether Russian or AIPAC.
