    I see these comments a lot and I’d like to learn more. Do you have any articles on this?

      Well, start here at a dinner she attended in Moscow in late 2015:

      Years later, after Trump was elected, she claimed it was just perfunctory, with no real interaction with Putin. She also claims she received no payment for being there, although we know Flynn received 45k from Putin for his attendance.

      Then there is this from 2016 about Russian efforts to divert Clinton voters to stein. She also received intense press coverage by RT, Russians propaganda TV station, that was not banned in the US at the time.

      Here she is refusing to call Putin a war criminal, a stance she suddenly recanted days later.

      Here is evidence she is currently working with the GOP.

        According to the lesser evil logic receiving money from putin is still less evil than being a fascist or being supporting a genocide.

          Coordinating directly with Putin, the oligarch dictator of Russia, who is currently engaged in a genocide in Ukraine, to elect Trump, a US presidential candidate that has told Israel it “needs to finish the job,” a person whose son in law has said gaza is “excellent beach front property,” and who hid the number of drone strikes and their casualties caused during his admin, is the lesser evil?

          I’d call the above stupid, not its far to disingenuous to be an actual real perspective.

            Like it or not that still lesser evil than being a fascist who said israel “needs to finish the job” or being actively fueling a genocide by sending israel fascist government “whatever it needs”.

            Lesser evil logic, you vote for the lesser evil.

              This is nonsense.

              FPTP voting means there are 2 viable options only. If you don’t vote for the “lesser evil,” you are voting for the “greater evil.”

              Choosing to not make a choice is still a choice. Voting for “not Harris” is the exact same thing as voting for “yes Trump” in our system.

              You’re voting for the greater evil by voting for Jill Stein, which is exactly what her and her partners Putin and Trump want.
