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.
It’s all good. As a fellow Green voter from Australia, I always feel sorry for those of you stuck in countries where you can’t simultaneously vote for your Green party and vote against the major right wing party or coalition. You are endlessly subjected to the most deranged attacks from people who just dogmatically repeat the same moronic, doomsday cult talking points like they’re an AI model that was trained exclusively on campaign propaganda.
Thank you!! Not only do they attack me in this Lemmy community, they actually follow me to other communities (that have nothing to do with politics) and try to downvote me there. All because I am not voting for their candidate. It’s crazy! lol
And it hasn’t changed my mind at all. Voting Green! Thanks for your support!
