When was the progressive movement co-opted by pro-Putin apologists? [View all]

Even as bad as Ralph Nader could be, he never was in bed with Russian oligarchs like Jill Stein - and his supporters weren't in bed with men who seem to have an allegiance to Russia over America.

I'm confused as to when this happened? How could anyone look at Stein as a credible progressive voice when she dines with Putin - a homophobic, warmongering Russian oligarch?



As much as you may question Hillary Clinton, she's legit the only fucking candidate who doesn't seem to have any hard ties to Russia.

I'm absolutely baffled ANY progressive would even look at Stein's way. She's an awful human being - and an obvious Putin sympathizer. Isn't Putin REALLY the antithesis of everything liberals hold dear?

I feel like I'm in an alternate reality here.
