Russia didn’t donate money to Stein hand in hand, but funded social media campaigns including adds and fake accounts explicitly with the goal of supporting Stein. So it contributed money to Stein’s campaign effort.
I will stop engaging because clearly you don’t have anything to back your characterisation of me as a liberal up and have unsuccessfully resorted to cherry picking and setting up a straw man.
Liberals support concepts such as capitalism, I support the abolishment of capitalism. Your characterisation of me as a liberal is therefore wrong, goodbye.

Not the Russian funded Bernie Sanders!
They only funded adds for sanders after he lost the primary in order to try and siphon votes from democrats to have him as a write-in.
Sanders himself never supported this and denounced it. Sanders had stopped running then so Russia did not contribute to his campaign effort.
