I have never heard of Jill Stein until just a few months ago when I saw some article about her on the Lemmy homepage. Then I saw more and more articles about her. However, I don’t really know why the media is paying so much attention to her. She is just a third party candidate, right? There are other third party candidates that aren’t constantly popping up in the news. So why Jill Stein? I hear its something to do with Russia and a general sense of her goal being to take votes away from Kamala.
The Russia thing goes beyond the dinner. She had attempted to (maybe actually has?) meet with him privately. She has also vacillated on Ukraine.
She’s had weird stances on vaccines, food (edit: GMOs), and even energy. It’s my understanding she’s privately invested in fossil fuels.
