    This sub takes civility seriously. That’s why your comment was removed.

    You can disagree with me, but no false accusations allowed. And be civil, please. Thank you.

      I apologise. I was overly suspicious due to the widely reported russian bot and troll farms influencing the 2016 election, [1] [2] many of whom promoted Jill Stein. [3] This was exacerbated by U.S. intelligence officials already warning of Russian intent to influence this election as well. [4] I don’t have any evidence of you personally being part of a troll farm and shouldn’t have implied it.

      I understand the need for concrete evidence. That’s why I have never definitively claimed Jill Stein to be an outright russian asset, for example, unlike claims in collections such as by Thirdway.org [5] These are anecdotes and not evidence - though I can’t say that collection would make me want to vote for Jill Stein.

      I guess she was right about Biden’s age though, I’ll give her that. But then again even Trump was.

        Thank you. It’s strange to me to see some of the attitudes in this community and this thread. I legit just finished my first day as a Special Education Paraeducator/Teacher’s Aide. I some on, log in and there were 27 messages calling me a liar, or a bot, or say that I was voting for Trump, or that I’m an idiot, etc.

        All because I posed a POLTICAL news article about a POLTICAL happening to this community called POLITICS.

        Just because I am voting for how I belive in, and it’s different than most people in this community does not mean I am a Russion Trumper Maga-loving Media Manipulator who wants trans people to die and people deported. All of which has been said to me in the last 24 hours.

        My point being, that I just got back from being in a classroom of 2nd grader, and they treat people with more respect than many in this sub. And that is not an exaggeration! lol

        Now to your point, I have no problem with you being suspicious or having problems against Jill Stein. Vote with the person you trust and who you want to vote for. That’s your right and I respect that. But I would expect the same respect given to me as well.

        I don’t have any issues with Jill Stein, and she’s getting my vote. And for the record even tho I am Green Party, I would have 100 percent voted for Bernie back in 2006. And wish we had more like him running, regardless of party.

        Also, I think Harris will probably win by a huge gap anyway, so not sure why so many people are upset about my vote. But for the record, even it was close, I’d still vote Green this year.
