"given that she herself has received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Google, Lockheed Martin, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, and McKinsey." I don't see this information on the FEC website. Can anybody actually find this information? I sort this page by Amount, and it doesn't list these companies. It lists people:

Pretty sure they’re referring to individual donations where those companies are the employer.

The writer of the article read it on Facebook. Fake news is the new standard.

The people have killed the green party in the womb.

They never organize, canvass, campaign.. they never put in the work. It's easy to sit on Twitter all day and disparage the Democratic Party (yes they have many flaws as well) and nothing else.

They're lazy grifters.

What exactly did Jill Stein do with that $7 million for the recount? She was interviewed by Mehdi Hassan and he kept asking her why she won't call out Putin when she has no problem calling out Bibi. Yes two things can be true at once. She just couldn't explain why she refused to call Putin out on his war mongering and genocide.

How does the Green Party suddenly get money around election time when they don’t do shit for the previous four years?

People are asking.

How does the Green Party suddenly get money around election time

That's - clearly - when they're doing their best work for their supporter. You thought the 'green' wasn't about greenbacks?

Maybe has something to do with the dinner she had with him.

I only hear about this candidate a month before the election for the last 50 years, how is this mummy still here?

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Because of foreign financing to draw votes away from the Democrats.
