Russia paid for Facebook ads promoting Jill Stein: ‘Trust me, it’s not a wasted vote’

Russian-funded Facebook ads purchased during the 2016 presidential election promoted Green Party candidate Jill Stein as well as then-candidate Donald Trump and Democratic primary candidate Bernie Sanders, said Politico on Wednesday.

“Other advertisements paid for by shadowy Russian buyers criticized Hillary Clinton and promoted Donald Trump. Some backed Bernie Sanders and his platform even after his presidential campaign had ended, according to a person with knowledge of the ads,” wrote Politico’s Josh Dawsey.

Dawsey reported that the Stein ad he saw was placed late in the campaign and played upon some liberals’ belief that Clinton is too hawkish and would lead the U.S. into war with Iran.

“Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein,” said the ad. “Trust me. It’s not a wasted vote. … The only way to take our country back is to stop voting for the corporations and banks that own us. #GrowaSpineVoteJillStein.”

Of course Russia wanted to help Stein,it takes votes from Hillary.Stein got a million more votes in 2016 than she got in 2012.Doubt it happens again in 2020.We thought Hillary was a shoe in so the pro Bernie anti Hillary left thought they could waste some votes on stein to send their message while trump would still lose.Most of the Stein voters learned their lesson and regret it.
