Sincere question as a foreigner, is there any basis to this “Jill Stein is a Russian asset” thing other than the nature of FPTP voting resulting in the royally fucked-up US two-party system?
Very much yes, we literally do not have laws restricting “donations” and “fundraising” for politicians here. I say this as someone who (embarrassingly) voted for her when I was young and uninformed many many years ago because I liked the headlines her party platform pushed. I am not sober enough to spam you with news articles at the moment but please feel free to bug me again tomorrow. If you do some of your own reading please tell me where you heard it and I will provide context as well.

I don’t quite follow. You’re saying she is financed by Russia?
No one that is an American politician will be directly financed by Russia. It would always be indirect or hidden shell companies.
there was a senate investigation. it found she was not, in fact, financed by russia.
Senate investigation is sadly partisan and doesn’t mean much anymore. They’ll find what they wanted to find.
they found she didn’t take money from Russia. it wasn’t partisan. it was just a fact.
Very much yes
No, there isn’t.
