      That’s your proof?! A photo that has been around forever and that even was discussed in a newsweek article about Jill?! Come on, man. Really?

      Ok, so here ya go: Stein “attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy” and gave a speech in Moscow “in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders.”

      They added: "The Senate Intelligence Committee later investigated the trip and found no wrongdoing whatsoever. Dr. Stein’s commitment to diplomacy is more needed than ever and stands in stark contrast to the two warmongering ruling parties, which are driving us toward WWIII [World War III] and draining resources urgently needed here at home." https://www.newsweek.com/jill-stein-ties-vladimir-putin-explained-1842620

      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.

      And THAT’S what makes you think she’s a russian asset?! Come on man, be real. So does every politician that is going to meet with foreign people to criticise them, have to worry about being an asset for that country?! lol

      Weird company for a US candidate to keep and she’s seems to be having a great time at a table full of murders and war crime speed runners.

            Lol you think someone will believe you

            From this thread, no. But that doesn’t change the truth that I just told you. Not everyone who disagrees with you is part of some grand conspiracy tho. Please remember the civility rule of this sub.

              Why do you feel the need to hide behind the “civility rule” even when people seem to be civil. You are baiting people constantly; how is that civil?

                Why do you feel the need to hide behind the “civility rule” even when people seem to be civil.

                I am not a mod here, nor do I know any of the mods here personally. They handle the civility rule as they see fit. In an effort to keep this sub from becoming toxic and lacking diversity.

                I’m not “hiding” behind anything.

                The modlog for this community is publicly available. Feel free to view the reasoning behind them removing uncivil comments.

                You are baiting people constantly

                How am I “baiting” anyone? This is a politics sub, and I am responding to people’s comments to me. I am remaining civil, and some aren’t.

                This sub was created for discussion. And some of these discussions should, and do, have diverse viewpoints.

                I am fine with people disagreeing with me. But when people get personal, or call me a Russian plant, or say I am stupid, or whatever, that crosses the line.

                Calling me stupid, or creating/posting cartoon memes repeating what I say, isn’t really respectful.

                But I’m not “baiting” anyone. We don’t all have to agree on our politics, but we should agree on our right to have different viewpoints. I 100 percent support and respect your right to have your individual politics. And I would expect you to offer me the same support and respect.

                Don’t you agree?

          I think the fact she’s there to meet and greet with a war criminal on her own dime makes it a bit worse. If she was there to represent some NGO or something I would actually say that would be better, then its like she was just doing what somebody else would have to if she didn’t go.
