The comment that was liked says to "vote her if not Trump", it doesn't say to vote "Trump if not her".
A very important nuance. A more charitable explanation is that she is trying to get undecided voters. Which is exactly what a presidential candidate is supposed to do.
I agree both that there is a nuance in the difference strong enough to make the tweet in the post misleading/incorrect, and that Jill Stein is still nonetheless actively a bad-faith candidate who wishes for Trump to win
Sounds like Stein puts up a clear either/or choice for people. In other words, if you aren't voting for the weird orange felon, deprive Kamala Harris of a vote, and everyone knows Jill hasn't a chance in hell of winning. It is not nuanced at all.
A staffer probably went through and liked every post that said "vote green"

I went through my saved threads recently and there were many things there I don't remember seeing, never liked, and would not have had any interest in saving. Yet they ended up there because I fat finger things. Add the possibility of other social media persons having access to the account, liking it because she personally knew the person and didn't really cared what it said, etc, it seems like a single media account like isn't really that useful...
Who knows how many comments and posts I've accidentally up voted or down voted without even realizing it....
