    Surely the Russians aren’t funding an anti-Jill Stein campaign AND the Jill Stein campaign.

      it’s entirely possible that this is true - the point is to sow discord and dissent rather than electing specific candidates… they just want everyone to hate everyone else and everything. they want yall fighting amongst yourselves

      Well of the two candidates, Harris actually receives untraceable funding, and no Russian funds have been linked to stein.

        that’s… just basic statistics given the difference in campaign sizes

        i’m not trying to wave it off or anything, but i’d suggest that it’s entirely expected

          But contrary to the claim being made, also you can refuse funding as a candidate. You don’t have to be supported by opaque super PACs.
