but the big deal is we know it and must do something about it, russians need to pay a price, tRumps administration must pay a price and we should consider all fraudulent elections null and void.

She said it is wrong but that we also interfere in elections. She isn't really lying about it

that Stein is bubbling and oozing to the surface again these days. There’s yet another push to normalize what Russia did to our country by those who quietly assisted the effort.

the only thing the Green Party has ever done is elect Republicans. And I'm not so sure that that hasn't been their purpose all along.

Many of their leaders are anti-intellectual grifters.

Substitute "Earth" for "Jesus," send money now, your sins will be forgiven!

because only she and those who think as she does have the wisdom to see and act.

"VICE: She considers herself an activist, a radical idealist who believes this country and the rest of the planet are about to totally collapse, and incremental change simply will not suffice."

That's a classic sign of radical/extremist thinking. Extreme righteousness coupled with imminent crisis that only they can fix, or their chosen leader. What makes people in some cultures strap bombs to children and in others call themselves Democrats but vote for Trump.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/8x5pw3/jill-stein-profile

Polls indicate most (Stein voters) would have stayed home rather than vote Democratic and most of others preferred Trump. Similar to the little dissident-left faction of Sanders' voters who walked when he

Many on both far left and right are longing for Russia's strong leader to fix our nation before it collapses, apparently lacking faith in strong-man Trump. Wonder if Stein is, like them, at base an authoritarian follower, and so is drawn to Putin. She seems too dingy and not nearly ruthless and scary enough to in any way fit the profile of an authoritarian leader herself but instead defends one.
