“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.”

    Which could have been influenced by Russian media. You and I don’t know because it’s an opinion piece. It’s not a researched piece of journalism.

        Hey, at least you got the concept of what I’m saying. Don’t trust opinions. Trust actual, credible journalism.

          I have to agree that completely ignoring the nytimes op-ed section is healthy and brings you closer to the truth. I’m glad we’ve established that.

              Yes, not a new point and well agreed.

              Now let me show you where you’re confused. Here’s the claim,

              It’s not controversial to say that the US / NATO helped trigger the war in Ukraine.

              The claim is about opinions.

              e.g. “It’s not controversial to say that World War I was partially caused by the assassination of Franz Ferdinand.”

              This claim is about a commonly held opinion, not the veracity of the opinion. To confirm or refute the claim would require the citation of opinions, not their veracity.
