A politician goes to public events and places and has some personal investments in index trackers?

Conspiracy theorists love inventing evidence.

You didn’t even read the article I posted. Come back after you do.

Apologists love defending shills.

Why don't you go and read about the Vanguard 500 Index Fund Admiral Shares VFIAX.

Then go and check where your 401k is invested and see how comfortable you feel calling other people hypocrites.

Why don’t you go and read the article I shared illustrating how Shill Stein is a fraud.

Then come back and pretend like it doesn’t illustrate how she’s a Russian asset.

I did. That's how I know about her index fund investment.

That "article" was written by a conspiracy theorist, not a journalist.

ROFL. Okay. We’re done here. Nothing anyone says will ever overcome that cognitive dissonance of yours. And I’m not about to waste any time attempting to.

Did you look up what an index fund was?

Conspiracy theorists always run from the debate when their evidence is questioned

Shill apologists always question anything that disagrees with their bullshit.

A much better article. It confirms my position and destroys yours.

Nothing about Stein being a Russian asset, only that "Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia." Which, after that photo, is undeniable.

It also repeats my point about investments. "To be clear, making use of mutual and index funds is an extremely common practice in Washington"

Read it again, bud. But this time not from the perspective of an ass-kissing apologist.

It somehow reads different when you’re capable of free-thinking.

Yup. Same conclusion. Bad green party leader but no mention of being a Russian asset.
