      What happened with her? She seemed okay when she was running a few elections ago and had some support, but then went a bit off and I stopped following her.

          All you liberals have is a picture of her at a table with Putin as if Democrats you vote for haven’t sat at a table with Putin before

            It’s a well-established fact that a part of her social media campaign was funded by the Russians.

            To be clear: I’m not saying she necessarily did all this in cahoots with Putin. Russia funded divisive ads that boosted Sanders too. Regardless, Sanders quit the race whilst Stein did not. That means she acted as a spoiler candidate, where a vote for her means it’s more likely that a republican candidate wins instead, instead of the democrat candidate that a green voter is likely more aligned with. It’s an unfortunate effect of the two-party system. Nonetheless, those effects are well-known and Stein had a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected. She knew this, but decided to remain on the ballot anyway. Her candidacy therefore did help Trump win the election.

              Did you even read the article? Facebook presented no proof of this and you just take it as fact.

            Such as? Apart from, you know, people who were president and were doing it because presidents generally meet other world leaders?

                So the U.S. Secretary of State met with a world leader?

                You do know Anthony Blinken does that all the time, right?

                That’s not a very good example.

                You’re pretending that meeting with Putin as part of her official duties is the same as associating with him socially.

                    IIRC the event was literally an RT conference promoting how RT signal boosted “real change” candidates, coincidentally at the same time as an American politician that Putin had personally nursed a grudge against was running while associated with the establishment line.

                    IE, “We’re here today to celebrate our alliance of making sure anyone but Hillary is able to win!”

            as if Democrats you vote for haven’t sat at a table with Putin before

            For example?
