she was used as a tool to take votes away from Hillary Clinton and to help Donald Trump win the election.

Whether or not she knew she was being used is open to question?

But, her votes did make a big difference in the electoral vote count. She helped Russia and Trump.

We don't know if she was paid for her efforts? And we don't know if any of this is true? It is just my opinion.

that it means the Green Party candidate was anything other than the Green Party candidate.

Guess what, in 2020 there will be a Green Party candidate for President. Then again four years later (repeat). Democrats need to plan on that and figure out how to win with that competition.

The idea that Stein was anything other than the Green Party candidate for President seems like tin foil hat territory.

The dinner with Putin, the candidacy, the attacks on Clinton, playing cozy with Trump... I guess Jill Stein did all that just for the fame and the attention.

And now there's a political scandal around the guys on whose coat-tails she rode to fame. And that's this loud and outspoken person has suddenly shut up and is nowhere to be found. Because she has realized she associated herself with the wrong people.
