An employee of the Democratic National Committee has filed a complaint seeking to remove the Green Party’s presidential candidate from the ballot in Wisconsin.
Yep, here to convince us that Stein isn’t still just one of Putin’s useful idiots trying to get us a 2nd Trump administration like she did in 2016. And it wasn’t just Wisconsin that she handed to Trump in 2016.
Here are the Stein votes from 2016 vs Trump’s margin of victory in those states.
Michigan: 51,463/10,704
Pennsylvania: 49,678/46,765
Wisconsin: 31,006/22,177
Without Stein on the ballots in those states, there would have been no Trump administration.
Also, from OP’s article:
There are signs in some swing states, including Wisconsin, that those behind third-party candidates are trying to affect the outcome of the presidential race by using deceptive means — and in most cases in ways that would benefit Trump. Their aim is to to offer left-leaning, third-party alternatives who could siphon off a few thousand protest votes.
Everyone, including Stein, knows Putin helped her last time, whether she knew it then or not. She must realize he’s helping her again and she knows what the likely result is. She knows she can’t win the presidency, all she can do is help Trump win.
Voting is a fundamental American right, and every citizen has the right to vote for the candidate they believe in, without being accused of ulterior motives.
The idea that supporting a third party is somehow working for Trump or any other major candidate is both historically inaccurate and logically flawed.
Throughout American history, third parties have played a crucial role in shaping political discourse and pushing important issues into the spotlight.
The abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, and labor rights were all advanced by third parties before being adopted by the major parties.
The notion that a vote for a third party “dilutes” the vote is rooted in a fear-driven mentality rather than in democratic principles.
It assumes that votes are owned by the two major parties, which they are not. Our electoral system is supposed to represent the diverse views of the electorate, not just those of the dominant parties.
Suggesting that Jill Stein is a “Russian stooge” dismisses legitimate political discourse and attempts to silence alternative viewpoints. It’s a tactic to coerce voters into conformity rather than encouraging healthy debate and democracy.
I must admit, I do find it slightly ironic that you champion diversity of thought in bold typeface, except for the thought that Stein might be working with Russia. That thought is apparently special and should be barred. This is hypocritical.
There is nothing logically flawed with the idea that she may be coordinating with American rivals in any way, shape or form. Plenty of people throughout history have worked to harm our country for their own best interest, and rationally it would behove us to consider the possibility instead of granting her some immunity to suspicion that no other politician receives.

I don’t “bar” that thought at all. You are free to think that. I don’t think it. News orgs don’t seem to think it, and I would think hat would be a major front page article if there were evidence of it.
But you are totally free to think that. And say that. But I don’t agree/belive that, so I would reply the same.
There is nothing logically flawed with the idea that she may be coordinating with American rivals in any way, shape or form.
Again, that would be major news. So I personally don’t think that.
It very much was in the news. Every time that news is presented to you though, you simply pivot to her campaign statement about it being a speech about peace. To a dictator.
It very much was NOT in the news as proof. In fact, newsweek wrote about it. Plus The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated the trip and found no wrongdoing whatsoever.
I know that you lean conspiracy, I get it. You want it to be true. Bu there has been no conclusive proof that she is paid for by the Russians. 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.
You believe she is, I don’t believe she is. It’s that simple. Just accept it and move on.
Harris will win by a landslide anyway, so you don’t even have to worry about it. lol
Have I ever claimed she was paid by the Russians? This is you trolling, saying I am saying something that I have never said.
Also, you cannot say she was not contacted by Russia when she was inside of Russia. Russia is full of Russians, as I imagine you knew.
You cannot dispute basic facts, but you can make up lies like “she was never contacted by Russia” when she very provably went to Russia and sat with their leader.
Have I asked you to change your vote? Or do I simply like facts being straight?
edit: Oh, and she never actually complied with that investigation, by the way. I forgot that detail.
Have I ever claimed she was paid by the Russians? This is you trolling, saying I am saying something that I have never said.
Oh ok, so you DON’T believe she is being paid by the Russians then? Right?
And again, stop accusing me of trolling. We have had this conversation. If you say I am “a troll” or that I am “trolling” again, I will report you to the mods.
It is a baseless accusation and you and I have already had this conversation.
Stop.
but you can make up lies like “she was never contacted by Russia” when she very provably went to Russia and sat with their leader.
I mean, contact as in they didn’t contact her to pay her to run against trump.
You can report me as much as pleases you, that is fine, but it is absolutely a common trolling tactic when you make claims for me that I have not made, just so you can argue against them. It’s dishonest and unconducive to healthy conversation, and a very common tactic of practiced trolls. So, report away.
Oh, so it’s contact her to pay her to run now? How convenient, you certainly didn’t explain anything like that earlier. And you call me the conspiracist?
Let’s review the basic facts: Jill Stein attended Putin’s gala for his propaganda network. She sat at his table. She did not cooperate with the Senate Intelligence Committee investigation. She neglects to criticize Russia, either on their climate policies or the invasion of Ukraine. Russia assists her by working to funnel votes for her.
Against these facts, all you have is her campaign statement about a speech regarding “peace”, to a dictator that had already been helping Assad in Syria wage war on his own people, and a Senate investigation she did not cooperate with.
No, I have not told you to change your vote, the only one bringing up you changing your vote is you, pretty much every time it seems. This trolly attitude becomes tiresome, but I’m afraid I’m not going to let you continue to muddle facts.

Not changing my vote, tho!
