Nobody under the age of 40 has even heard your name. You stand for nothing, and have zero experience at this level of political governance. Just go fuck off.
Also, anyone reading this who still votes for her is a vote for Trump or RFKjr, which is a negative. She has no chance. Never did.
She's also a Russian-planted spoiler running in order to divert would-be Democratic votes into a black hole where they would otherwise help stave off Trump's fascist rise to power.
You do not seem to be arguing in good faith. The link that user provided included further links to "legit" news sources like this one from NBC. Unless you are claiming that NBC is not a legitimate news source. Here's a quote from it that seems pertinent.
A new report commissioned by members of the U.S. Senate intelligence committee expands upon another facet of Russia’s pro-Trump operation: an effort to divert votes away from Hillary Clinton and toward Green Party candidate Jill Stein.
An analysis from NBC News found an extensive, coordinated effort by Russian operatives to boost Stein’s candidacy by targeting voters from key Democratic demographics.
One example NBC News highlighted was an Instagram account called @woke_blacks, which shared pro-Stein images in the run-up to the election and dismissed valid criticism that votes for Stein would help Donald Trump’s candidacy in crucial swing states.
None of this proves Stein is a "Russian-planted spoiler", which is what was alleged and what OP asked for evidence of. All this suggests is that the Russians tried to divert left leaning voters away from Clinton by boosting Stein's candidacy. There is zero evidence there that Stein was contacted by Russia or even aware of the way in which her campaign was being hijacked.
Thank you for restoring my faith in this community. I had no idea that me posting a news article about the Green Party would make a "politics" sub so irrationally angry. lol
And thank you for explaining about the Russian diversion campaign so much better than I did. If you don't mind, I will use your wording from now on. Much more clear and succinct than my attempts to say the same thing.
Guess I'll keep doing posting about the Green Party tho. Because this is a "politics" sub and not just a "If you aren't a Democrat, don't post here" sub. :)
Keep doing your thing. People are so stupid on the internet and will read one thing and immediately post misinformation saying another thing. I wouldn't say "Russian diversion campaign" since Jill Stein is running in good faith and you don't want people to think her whole campaign is one.
Nice. But any proof that she has been "planted" or paid or conspired by/with Russia? Just because Russia used her name to spread discontent, doesn't mean that she had anything to do with that.
They would have picked any third party candidate that had the following she does.
That's Russia's doing, not Jill Steins.
Also, if she is so terrible, and Harris and Trump are so awesome, then they could totally decimate her in a campaign.
So why so afraid of her? I mean, there are so many people saying she has "no chance." Cool! Then easy debate. Right?
Lmao okay. Just Jill Stein in December 2015 casually dining with Vladimir Putin, Michael Flynn who worked under the Trump Administration and is now a convicted felon for lying to the FBI about his relationship with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and several high-ranking members of Putin's cabinet.
Because you are refusing to answer the question. Any proof she was/is a russian plant, on a russian payroll?
And if you have proof, have you given it to the major news organizations.
Or better yet, let's have open debates, then the Democrat/Republican parties can decimate her with all of this hard proof you have.
I mean, hey, let's finish the Green Party once and for all.
They've bugged you long enough! This is a perfect time to put her in jail for corruption and fraud.
So when are ya gonna make that happen? Maybe send to WikiLeaks? Or the conspiracy sub?
Ohhhh, so now you are "refusing" to dignify me with an answer. Ok, ok.
Well be sure to contact the news media. This will be front page news!
Think about it! The green party would be decimated, and then you wouldn't have to worry about them.
I mean, they are soooo corrupt. As you have said.
Ok, fine, so don't tell me or show me the proof. Please contact the news media. I'd very much like to see an investigative article on this and watch it all crumble down.

If the democratic nom, and the republican nom are so sure of themselves, so sure that they are the best choice, then why are they afraid to debate a 3rd party?!
I mean, if the 3rd party person sucks so bad and is so terrible, then they could totally prove that in a debate.
So yeah, why does the idea of having a real debate with a larger 3rd party candidate scare the other parties so much?
Speaking of Grand Conspiracies. I've got one. You are full of shit!
Your account is 24 hours old, you demand proof of every response.
Two of the posts you made seem like advertisements for a community college AND you seem to think you're on Reddit in those posts.
"incredibly proud of the place, but I’m disappointed that there’s not much info on reddit about this school, considering how amazing this small school in West Virginia is. So that’s why I created this subreddit"
You are not being genuine, and you should go away.
Still waiting. And by the way, I corrected my post about the reddit stuff. Since I just cut and paste from my old reddit as I migrated to this site, I didn't catch that. So thank you.
Oh wait, I keep forgetting that you think I am a Russian spy. Darn it. And our conversation was going so well.
Well I guess I should get back to my Russian spying of showing my Pierpont pride for a small affordable college in West Virginia.
Man, you caught me so bad! Wow.
So have you sent your proof that Jill Stein is a russian spy and his paid off by Russia, to the news orgs yet? I keep waiting to see it, but hmmmm.....
The literal only reason I haven't blocked this ridiculous troll yet is to downvote and call their bullshit out when I see their posts in this community and others.
But I wanna be clear, so NOW you think that I MIGHT be a "troll farm employee." Right?
Well of course you wanna block me. Because I called you out and asked for proof and all you proved was that you are mad that I'm voting for someone you don't like.
And yes, I am very proud of my "associates degree having Jill Stein donating ass."
And I'm also a Jill Stein voting ass too. You haven't changed my mind at all.
In fact, seeing how mad you are, has made me even more proud that I'm voting for her and not letting people like you bully me. :)
Also, I'll be posting more Green Party news. So you may wanna get your download button finger ready, friend!
I don't think YOU are full of shit, I think the green party, at least at the presidential level, is FULL OFF CRUD. They are not on the ballot in over 30 states. There are many parts of the green partys platform that I like, but they simply do not exist at a local level.
I agree, the Green Party has a long way to go. But I think one reason for that is the two main political parties have a stranglehold on politics. They don't want Americans to have more choices.
In my opinion, the one thing Democrats and Republicans do agree on is keeping third parties out.
And many people just go along with it. I mean, just look at this thread.
All I did was share a news article about the Green Party, and you can see the reactions—people assuming I'm voting for Trump or claiming Jill Stein is a Russian pawn. It's just anger. Real anger.
Until more people stand up against the bullying and peer pressure to vote for the main two parties, we'll stay stuck in this cycle.
For the record, there are local candidates who have won office.
The Green Party has to keep pushing. They have to keep trying to be accepted.
Otherwise, it'll always be Democrats vs. Republicans. And that might happen anyway.
But I'm doing my part. I'm voting for what I believe in.
I'm not tied to the Green Party. If the Democrats or even Republicans had a candidate I believed in, I'd vote for them.
I'm really just an Independent who's fed up with a two-party system. The Green Party is closest to what I believe in. And they ARE on the ballot in my state.
Sorry for the long response. Brevity isn’t my strong suit.
So how long should I wait after starting an account before I post my opinions?
Did you post on the first day your account was started?!
you demand proof of every response.
Yep. We're in a politics sub and people where are saying she's a plant by russia. That deserves proof.
Why isn't it front page news? That would destroy the Green Party which you all seem to hate.
So where is the proof? Don't you all wanna see the Green Party go away? Well then proof it's corrupt. Let the media do it's thing.
And the posts aren't "advertisements" for a community college. I am migrating my reddit account posts to Lemmy. And I am cutting and pasting, so good catch on the Reddit verbiage.
In fact, keep watching that sub, because I am posting more posts right now
Notice the username of the mod for the reddit account? Check the profile and tell me what you see.
See a similarity to my username here? could it be that I am the same guy?! Hmmmm.....
So here's the thing. I got banned on Reddit. You know why? Because I posted in the r/politics sub several posts of why I was voting green party.
And on reddit, even the r/poltics is supposed to be "politics," it's really just a pro-democrat forum.
So how am I not being genuine because I just started an account yesterday, after being banned from reddit?
In fact, I found out about Lemmy from reddit. From the r/alternativetoReddit sub.
So how am I not being genuine.
Ohhhh, let me guess. I'm in russia. And I've decided to post about a community college in Virginia and then talk about how I am voting green party.
Man, you caught me. THAT'S how I am gonna destroy the US.
Come on man, be real.
I'm voting for someone you don't like. And you're mad.
And now I can't even post about the college I graduated from, because it's russian propaganda.
Think about what you are saying.
And hey, I'm posting more stuff in my Pierpont Community and Tech college community too.
But hey, really Russia just wants you to go to a college in West Virginia, right? Right?!
To all the lemmy's that don't think every fucking thing in the world is a conspiracy: I got my associates degree from Pierpont Community and Technical college. They accept Sophia .org credits and previous college credits.
So you can get your associates for very little money. I spent less than $200 on classes to get mine.
Feel free to look it up. Google "BOG associates degree pierpont accepts sophia credits."
But hey, that's probably a russian thing too. BEcause of course Russia wants us all to graduate from college.
