“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”
Here’s the problem, legally, private citizens can’t engage in diplomatic actions like this:

“Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
You would think anyone who just announced their candidacy 6 months before this dinner would know that…
But then you’d also think anyone running for President would also know how many Congressmen there are…

And yet the Senate intelligence committee found nothing wrong or nefarious.
One would think the former 2 term VP under the first black President would remember his name
Or the name of his Secretary of Homeland Security
Great point. I definitely won’t vote for Biden this year.
It was ok when your team was doing it but one error from someone else and it’s the end of the world and completely makes them ineligible.
Lol imagine getting mad because someone called Jill Stein a useful idiot for Russia (that’s all she’s ever been lmao)
Clearly you’re her moral-kin and that’s why you hurt so.
It was OK when my team was doing what? Which “team” do I play for? You seem confused.
I’m not confused, Democrats think in binary terms, this or that, so you were either on this team or that team. You decide
You’re beyond confused. When did I announce myself as a Democrat?
If you are defending them you can’t try and distance yourself from them
When did I defend them?
