Get a spine, don't mock Stein

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein labeled accusations of her links to Wall Street, coal, and the pharmaceutical industry as “a blatant smear attack” following an article in The Daily Beast that labeled her investments a conflict of interest. “This disingenuous shaming exercise is an effort to silence dissent, and a blunt attempt to bully people into refraining from exercising their democratic rights to free speech and political action,” Stein said via her website. Referencing Stein’s 2016 financial disclosure form and a 2015 federal tax return, the article claimed that Stein and her husband profited from funds with investments in corporations such as Exxon, Chevron, JP Morgan Chase, and Pfizer. The presidential candidate said that she had no control over the decision making of her investment funds and has “taken steps to divest from the worst of these holdings,” adding the investments were a “far cry from the Clintons’ backroom fundraising” and the “predatory economics” of Republican candidate Donald Trump. I may not be able to vote on account of me being from New Zealand, but if you are eligible to vote in the election, PLEASE don't vote for Trump or Clinton. Jill Stein and Ajamu Baraka are the only President and VP pair that can be trusted.
