    Ever since reading about her at a table with Putin and Flynn at a Russian state propaganda outlets fundraiser during the initial Trump election, and her subsequently getting significant boosts and support from Russia during the 2016 election….

    I just can’t trust her. Even if she was just getting played for a fool by the company she kept, that’s a level of dangerously ignorant that isn’t appropriate in a political leader in my opinion. That’s giving her significant benefit of the doubt, the worse case is that she knew exactly what she was doing.

      So you read the propaganda about her and the table with Putin and Flynn, but you didn’t read the information coming from the Senate Intelligence Committee about that dinner that said it was a nothingbuger?

        So you read the pieces that challenge what I believe, but how about the sources that validate my opinion? Let’s ignore all the other evidence and focus on that

          What other sources are you referring to that are more reputable than the debate intelligence committee?

      Doesn’t change my opinion of her at all, but I respect and support your right to that opinion. I’m actually not voting for her anyway, but I still support her goals.

        Legitimately curious. What made you change your mind, when the first ~1000 comments you made in your account’s first two weeks on Lemmy were so vehemently and exclusively supportive of her?

          My chosen candidate, Rachele Fruit of the Socialist Workers Party, is now on the ballot in my state. Before, that option wasn’t available. While I still support Jill Stein and her goals, Fruit aligns more closely with my socialist values, and now I can actually vote for her. I’m still a huge Jill Stein fan tho.
